For those who haven’t seen this MASTERPIECE in person yet, it is meant to be viewed from 3 angles: From below: map of CTA network From side: picture of bus From front: picture of train

And you wonder why I call it the Mojo DOGE-O Casa House of Representatives

Point out things are illegal not from a belief that the courts will save us (they almost certainly won’t) but because it’s important to not shift toward an authoritarian mindset by allowing them to normalize illegal shit

This is incredible

USA officially bars entry to trans people who come from countries that are slightly less transphobic than ours. this is a five alarm fire and I would love for cis people to treat it as such

Despite what has been said, I don't think we're living in the darkest timeline, but we are DEFINITELY living in the stupidest one.

People who don't write newsletters or are new to it might not realize that Substack's monetization model is different from its competitors like Ghost and Beehiiv. Substack takes 10% of your earnings. That's primarily how they make the money they give to right-wing authors. *You* are funding them.

Just discovered my partner had never come across Ea-Nasir memes before and let me tell you, the rabbit hole I just sent him on... I love it when someone discovers something I love for the first time. It's THE BEST.

Happy 10th birthday to the Ea-Nasir complaint tablet meme! A glorious decade of memes, mashups, merchandise, erotic fanfic, real-life copper fraud, and pilgrimages to the British Museum. Thread 🧵:

As philosophies go '...escape, and to take as many people with us as we can.' is pretty fucking great

Ancient historians, pay attention

Between this and the spotlight currently on health insurance CEOs, I am reminded of a book from a few years back "the figures 'who, by giving orders, use paper or a phone or a computer to kill, instead of a gun.'"

Mitch is one of the singular villains of American history, personally responsible for the destruction of our democracy and our government at a level above anyone save Trump himself he is a vile man on the level of John Calhoun and should be remembered as such

Archaeology friends are going to LOVE this 😍🏺

Fictional villains: my motivation involves a complex backstory around lost love and a deep yearning to be understood Real life villains: being cruel makes me feel like a big strong man

Calling yourself a king doesn’t make you a king. Accepting the kingly crown offered thrice to you on the Lupercal by your loyal friend makes you a king.

Yup. Still remember reading the story about Patrick Roy ripping a door off its hinges to get at his wife. Literally got into hockey because I loved watching Roy. Athletes are human, as flawed as the rest of us. We can accomplish great things and still suck.

This I'm someone who "kept doing the work" when my paycheck got cut in half for over a year due to university bullshittery. Idk how I made it work. I'm in so much debt it's scary. Do not recommend!!! Emotional support and affirmation are great, but they simply don't pay the bills.

It is a delight to be able to announce our speaker for this year's #CRAElecture: the wonderful Dr Vikram Jaswal. 6pm (GMT) 3rd April (It's a slightly longer webinar than our usual webinars, and later in the evening so hopefully more of you can join us) bit.ly/CRAEJaswal

Oh yes, Homer’s famous “Tes Thdpssssps.” 👍🏻

The children are always ours, every single one of them, all over the globe; and I am beginning to suspect that whoever is incapable of recognizing this may be incapable of morality. —James Baldwin

This is the deck I use, and she is exceptional and wonderful and intuitive and thoughtful and SO BEAUTIFUL and I love her very much. 🥰

It is important for those outside the US to keep in mind that while the American gov't expunges large portions of their nation's own history, the US is also home to vast quantities of world cultural heritage and records thereof, and will, in time, seek to destroy these as well.

it would be impossible to overstate just how excited i am for smartypants season 2 on @dropouttv.bsky.social

STOP ANSWERING THIS QUESTION PPL. IT IS A BANK SECURITY QUESTION.

This is my “daughter of a Black Panther breakfast program volunteer” coming out but anyone who tells you that you have to be public about all your resistance activity should immediately be under suspicion for being an op, or being under the influence of an op

The Harlem Hellfighters are a legendary fighting force, worthy of a great many posts. This one from @georgy-k-zhukov.bsky.social tries to track down the truth behind a story that the regiments band might have been tricked into going to the front lines.

things I have in common with Emma Stone: we're both Asian Americans who fill pockets with popcorns

Saw this on Reddit and I love this … such a Philly thing. Go birds.

Target took the fast fashion idea way too far and the quality of their clothes and knickknacks has plummeted. Even if you need to shop there for essentials it is so much easier to skip the impulse buys. No one wants racism + a crappy product.

In an episode of The Pitt, one of the docs asks an autistic patient how much pain he was in on a scale from 1 to 10 and his response was to ask if 10 was taking into account all of human history or just the most pain he ever experienced. I felt so seen. Like an 8 out of 10.
