Two days left to have your name attached to a character in an upcoming book (note that the character might meet a comic and/or gruesome end, because my books are like that sometimes).

I cannot stress enough that how you feel about national politics has no bearing on whether or not an unhinged freak in an apocalyptic, millenarian cult gains control of your local schools. Vote in local elections. Do not fail your neighbors.

It's Super Tuesday, and you know what That means! Time to go vote to minimize what damage i can in this place, to try to keep myself and the people i care for from having to literally fight for our literal lives.

RIP Norman Lear who dared to put a thriving, confident transgender woman on TV in 1977. Edie Stokes (played by the cis actress Veronica Redd) served in the Navy with George Jefferson before coming out and transitioning. Her positive portrayal was unparalleled at the time. youtu.be/jNSWrJZ5Mjk?...

Your periodic reminder that teenage girl enthusiasm is awesome, and that people who denigrate things because teenage girls love them are just being jerks. (Why? Sexism, often, or the frustration of people who hate what they can't control.)

That is an extremely tolerant cat, I have to say. (Also, good choice on Time's part; Swift is a generational artist of the sort that Elvis or the Beatles were, and her absolute dominance of pop culture this year was a whole real thing)

Some Desperate Glory is probably my favorite book I read this this year. Well deserved!

we don't get a good choice and a bad choice in america. everything is a calculus where we weigh the scant and thin Pro column against a litany of Cons. we are burdened from the veneer of choice laid over a monolith of ancient evil. thats why its so hard to pick out which hot dog pack to spend $7 on

I've started buying DVDs and Bluerays again. No, really. Bought 3 last week. Happily, I've hung onto most of my box sets from before this streaming scam. Same with music. Physical media is the way to go. We've all been suckered.

Ohio voters: The extremist GOP Secretary of State is canceling vote, purging thousands of names recently from the voter rolls, right before this important referendum on abortion rights. Make sure you were not among them! Check here for your status: voterlookup.ohiosos.gov/voterlookup....

I am totally going to remember that phrasing, to replace my ongoing use of a Penny Arcade* misquote, "Why is this cat not more like a dog?" (* Yeah yeah I know.)

I have, in fact, never wondered why Wikipedia wants so much money. It's one of the highest trafficked sites on the internet. The logistics of maintaining just the infrastructure must be very complicated. It also doesn't have ads. I have often wondered why Elon Musk wants so much money.

If you follow me, consider following @contingent-mag.bsky.social too--the collapse of Twitter has been really terrible for small publications like ours, a non-profit history magazine that publishes and pays historians working off the tenure track.
