It’s #Caturday, Friday edition. Because who doesn’t need a cat photo right now?

A peer reviewed study shows a promising link between flu and shingles vaccines and a reduced risk of dementia. A heroin addict who cut off a raccoon’s penis for “further study” says these vaccines cause autism. For busy Americans, it can be hard to know who to trust.

OMG This line from the Guardian’s review of Melena: “To call Melania vapid would do a disservice to the plumes of florid vape smoke that linger around British teenagers.” 😭

It kind of sucks to be living through a situation that is both Orwellian AND Kafkaesque.

My publisher’s been very patient. I’m not doing everything I said I’d do to promote this book (out in a few weeks) because I’m an organizer in a city under federal attack. My days are full and emotionally exhausting. Any help getting the word out means a lot. It's a book people need right now.

This may explain why there’s an aggressive response to people who merely post Kirk’s own words. It threatens the existence of the alternate Kirk - the motivational speaker that had been marketed to young kids and white Christian groups through selective quotation & clips.

Pay attention. Something dark might be coming. The murder of Charlie Kirk could have united Americans to confront political violence. Instead, Trump and his anti-democratic radicals look to be readying a campaign to destroy dissent. 1/ Here's what's happening.

I've seen this sentiment a lot lately, and I'll just say that if this is how you feel, now would be a great time to become a member of AASLH. For 8 years, we've been leading field-wide preparations for the 250th to help the field share a full and honest version of our history in 2026. aaslh.org/250

I think a lot of men do not understand this: what if there was medical science available to save your life and you just weren't allowed to have it, like no amount of money could buy it? Bc that's what the abortion ban is to women. We feel it in our core, no matter our pregnancy status or intention.

Bumped into a former colleague who is from Poland and visits there frequently. As we chatted, wholly unprompted, she expressed her fears for Poland, give Ukraine situation, if Orange Hitler gets elected. Think the Veep was onto something in the debate last week, mentioning the 800k Poles in PA

My father died when I was 21 with a houseful of stuff, little money, and no will. My mother died fifteen years later; same deal but no money at all. I would have given anything to have a resource like this at the time. No one should do this the hard way. Thanks Becky, for making your grief our gift

Politics is just the way we make society together. Whenever someone says "I am apolitical" I hear "I am not vested in the shared project of making society" and I have to wonder why.
