Brilliant! "The Horror of Fang Rock" is on the Roku Classic Doctor Who channel this afternoon. 💙

Another classic by @mluckovich.bsky.social As Senator Wellstone used to say, “We all do better when we all do better.”

Please read and share. But especially share with folks that might not realize how critical Section 504 is to so many people. I tried to write a simple clear explanation at the break. I hope it reaches some people who aren't already on our side. Gift link: www.startribune.com/why-are-repu...

This is how I always imagined Meryl Streep would appear in an SNL sketch

This was fun to write--finding a thread connecting Kendrick Lamar, Jeremiah, and Jesus. Are You Talking to Us: a sermon on Jeremiah 17:5-10 and Luke 6:17-26 ruminari.wordpress.com/2025/02/16/a...

Sigh, my state senator who voted for this bill twice, is quoted in the article expressing concern for groundwaters, but that could be addressed by amendment or another bill. umm...isn't that something you could have already done?! kentuckylantern.com/2025/02/14/k...

One of our supporters shared this with us—people are getting creative tonight!

From #AHAPerspectives in 2018: Kritika Agarwal examined how the field of trans history has developed and possibilities for future scholarship. She noted, "trans history also offers an entry point to gender history and LGBT history." 🗃️

This comment on r/fednews really stood out to me. Trump and Musk want people to think they're firing do-nothing "bureaucrats," but they're really getting rid of people dedicated to serving this country and keeping it operational. I hope these stories get told.

For #ValentinesDay, I'll be posting #HistoricalHearts Let's start with this life-size papier-mâché heart by the French anatomist Louis Thomas Jérôme Auzoux from the 19th century. Photo: Alex Peck.

Spent the afternoon exfoliating, hydrating & ensuring the Gulf of Mexico is exactly where I left it on MapQuest. Somewhere between my second serum & a deep existential sigh, I couldn’t help but wonder — in a world addicted to power & rebrands, is the Gulf of Mexico the last bastion of authenticity?

It would appear Raygun has expanded their Lutheran merch: e.g., "The Vast Lutheran Conspiracy to help those around us and improve out communities." (Possible subtext: Raygun is based in Iowa, where blowback to Musk's Lutheran comments has extended to a related controversy involving the state's gov)

Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who killed so many children in Samoa they ran out of child-sized coffins, has been confirmed to lead Health and Human Services. The vote was 52-48. All Dems and Mitch McConnell, whose fault this is, voted no. All other Republicans voted yes. The blood will be on their hands.

Ah, yes, big coal wants even more ability to pollute Kentucky waterways. My state senator voted for this... Big surprise.

Happy International Day of Women in Science. The National Science Foundation’s list of flagged words includes both “Women” and “Female.”

Waiting.

as a medievalist, as a church historian, let me say that within the long history of Christianity, I cannot emphasize enough how actually normal this is. this is Constantine, Charlemagne, Frederick Barbarossa, Louis IX, even Henry VIII! this is still Christianity, as empire-hungry as it is.

„Anyone who has studied science under the Nazis, as I did for my book Serving the Reich, cannot fail to be dismayed and alarmed at the parallels in the response so far of scientific institutions and academies to the purges and abuses of power following Trump’s executive orders“ 🧪
