Drinking with Historians - Season 3, Episode 1 (Adam Rothman)

Drinking with Historians with @varsha.bsky.social and @profgabriele.com was a lovely conversation series for a few years there. Went pretty light on the larping though youtu.be/Pdc5N2W_MaA?...

Okay, detail shot of those two Skellies (and their skulls)

Oil painting detail of One Skeleton riding on the shoulder of another, looking up at Sky with arms raised.

QRP with your skull art! 🪦💀

Oil painting of two skeletons in a landscape. The larger one carries the smaller on their shoulder. They are walking along a road above a valley. The small one is looking off and raising its arms to a break in the clouds above. There is a coyote and the field below them looking back uncertainly.

Someone has to get to the bottom of this question

I could handle Succession (though only watched chunks). Severeance started off to scary culty for my sensitive constitution, though fam swears it'll be fine

Family has decided it will be fine for me to watch Severance because i would never be hired into an office and, anyway, with my head injury history, I would never be allowed the procedure. But I think it still looks too scary.

Then, as now: New or poorly remembered locations are found by spiralling down a hunch until you arrive.

This is a better epilogue to my January story about the private equity firm profiting off of ICE's cruelest flights than I could have ever possibly hoped for. CHICAGO: You went to the mat and protected (at a minimum!) thousands of immigrants from torture. Take a bow. prospect.org/2026/10/02/i...

The City That Brought Down an ICE Airline - The American Prospect

In Chicago, progressive alderpeople held up a contract until a private equity firm was forced to dispatch Omni Air International, protecting thousands of immigrants from deportation.

Drove past a sign advertising new "luxury" homes and wondered what ever happened to a nice little house in a neighborhood with an actual library and post office.

In a crop of a cover by gobifrip.bsky.social, a lich in a large intimidating crown lounges lazily on their throne, watching a restrained barbarian in a glowing orb. Two goblins of cute looks but clearly low int scores watch on as the lich chews on their well-manicured nail because they are so eeeeeevil.

If you've lived in D.C. long enough, you've likely encountered Nekisha Durrett's work. And yet, she has avoided *becoming* the story. But as her sculptures have grown larger, so too has the pressure to be in the national spotlight. My profile on the artist for @51st.news explores this tension:

51st.news

D.C. artist Nekisha Durrett’s work is all around us — so why haven’t you heard of her?

Her new Obama Center sculpture honoring Harriet Tubman has thrust one of the District's most talented artists into the national spotlight.

Also, I just made my very first, very short, cartoon. It's called Ritornello, it's about going around (and around) on your bikes together.

October already? #KidLitArtPostcard Day? Wow! I am Gabriel Liston, an illustrator, painter, and writer. Rep'd by Andrea Colvin Creative Agency. Refining a couple of pb dummies currently, but open for illustration projects. lastwater.net

A kid lit art postcard using an ink brush and watercolor picture of a mother, wearing a skirt and heavy hoodie, sitting outside in a chair, holding some hot beverage in a mug as her small daughter next to her leans from her own little chair to wave at an older woman. The older woman, in violet sweats and sandals has paused and is waving a gentle finger back at the child. Text reads, Gabriel Liston. Represented by Andrea Colvin Creative Agency. lastwater.net

The “states’ rights” people in the past knew it was bullshit back then too, because slaver states wouldn’t let free states pass laws protecting self-emancipated people within their borders.

One of the things i really love about Dorothy L Sayers and Attica Locke is how deeply interlocked their novels can be with the landscape. Recs for any other mystery writers who tie their work so well to place? #MysterySky

When I posted this on IG, their ridiculous llm (w/out me asking it to even try, thank you) erroneously described the girls' scoot bikes as "tricycles." Ha! Go suck on your wasted billions Zuck.

Hi friends, I am participating in a symbolic pilgrimage in October where we walk a physical path reflecting the historic path from WWII Japanese American incarceration to current ICE detention centers. If you're in the area, please check out our public events, especially the Solidarity Day at NWDC

Ok, last day of the month. My health took a severe downturn over the summer and I haven't been able to do much. If I can get up to 70% of my goal, that'll take care of my biggest concern, and free me up to fill your October with cool, seasonal arts! ko-fi.com/karidru

and no, i did not smoke the cigarette, it was for my drummer friend, but I still have the butt tucked in a can somewhere with the pine cone that fell on my head during my grandpa's funeral (he died of lung cancer).

At La Luna, when Kim Deal was on the first Amps tour, i swapped her my Gran Sangre bull for a cigarette. I'd been photographing the bull around town, still had it in my pocket.

There is a mysterious signal out of Battle Ground called KDOA 97.5, Dread On Arrival. 24/7 reggae. Good music, i recognize maybe one in twenty songs, but never heard an actual dj or playlist. Can only really tune in when driving along Columbia Blvd.

WFMU has a digital feed that sometimes pretends to be run by AI, but, honestly? It's WFMU so who's really to say who's back in that booth?
