Realised I never posted this Rivendell drawing I did from my Lord of the Rings phase last year.

a black and white drawing of a grand house built against a cliff with waterfalls, some blue colour was added for added lighting and to suggest evening.

I’m surprised by how little attention this case has gotten. Even I didn’t really register it for a while. This entire family of three permanent residents were summarily detained without even the option of bond, all as collective punishment for one one of them being the son of an Iranian official

Everyone should subscribe to @hellgatenyc.com

Is this process annoying? Maybe. But if asking the owner of a $5 million piece of property to submit some forms over the internet to prove they are full-time residents is "harassment" or "ridiculously complicated," how should we describe the process of obtaining SNAP benefits, or unemployment checks, or health insurance on the exchange, or any of the hoops that working-class New Yorkers already jump through to survive?

that tolkien is both indicted by colonial history, but also separately that even for the 1930s, his views are informed not by mainstream british conservatism, but by a mix of far right influences - the man was a francoist ffs - and thus he is not a "product of his time"

This is obscene. Mamdani literally ran on opposing this kind of capitulation. He went to the protest at NYU, who made the EXACT same decision for the EXACT same reason. It's notable there is NO federal law that pulls funding right now. The Kennedy Declaration is blocked in ocurt.

City-run clinics, including a new health center opening in Corona, Queens, will soon offer hormone therapy to trans and nonbinary adults, but not to adolescents, according to city health officials.

NYC Health Commissioner Dr. Alister Martin told members of the City Council at a health budget hearing that the administration is weighing how to expand access to such services for minors, but must strike a balance between providing care to trans youth and avoiding federal backlash.

“We are committed to this issue and want to make sure that we provide the services and resources for youth as well as making sure that we don't expose ourselves to clawbacks from the federal government, which disrupt the rest of the care that we can give,” Martin said.

I'm working on a story on this as well, but the takeaway out of this is that Mamdani's direct-care clinic will apparently ban trans youth from getting care, will only provide it to adults. This is because of fear of loss of federal funding. This is DIRECTLY the capitulation reason NYU/Sinai gave.
