Please remember that for every VE Schwab and Stephen King, there are a lot of banned Black, queer, and POC writers you've never heard of, to whom it is maybe not a badge of honor but a denial of their voice. Being banned is not a marketing opportunity, unless one is already rich.

It’s funny seeing my street art in a gallery space. This show’s theme is “All Art is Political”. The show includes everything from direct commentary on our fascist state to biodiversity pieces and a lot in between. Seems people are more likely to pull stuff on a street pole than in here though lol

You guys want to hear a short but adorable story that happened right in front of me at the baggage claim in NYC yesterday? I wasn't part of it and there are bits I didn't catch but holy crap, I can't stop thinking about it.

I just finished devouring @brandtandstein.com 's graphic novel romcom Worst Man and absolutely loved it. It's wacky, hilarious, and SO much fun, a combination heist story/rom-com/screwball comedy that works on every level and made me laugh out loud. Grab it! www.brandtandstein.com #romancelandia

It is a subtle decorative choice, wrapping the body in mint green chiffon with a swirl of piping around the waist attached with bridging stitches. Early #1940s style, soft layers and sleeves that seem to fold into themselves #goldsteinmuseum #FashionHistory 🗃️🪡

The front of a lower calf length dress of floaty pale green chiffon with short sleeves and a v neck. It has a panel of piped fabric at the centre of the waist that encircles the body

Back view of the pale green chiffon early 1940s evening dress. The back is higher around the neck but the piped mid section continues from the front

A detail of the piping in the middle of the early 1940s pale green chiffon evening dress. It shows how the bridging stitches attach the green piping in a concentric pattern

Sleeve detail of the early 1940s pale green chiffon evening dress which shows how the sleeve is folded into a soft draped shape

Zealandia today. Got some great shots (those tieke and tui ones in particular). *Lots* of kaka around the place. Part of it is spring, but I also think taking the feeders away mean they are more widely distributed across the valley.

NIH’s move toward multiyear funding is a major reason for the drop in grant numbers: The agency now commits several years of funding at once to fewer awards, rather than paying for projects one year at a time. www.the-scientist.com/federal-rese...

NIH Grant Awards Fall to a Six-Year Low in FY2026 | The Scientist

A public dataset from Grant Witness shows NIH has issued about 11 percent fewer grant awards this fiscal year than its five-year average pace.

What everyone has to prepare for is the constitutional crisis to accelerate if the Democrats take the House and the Senate. Vought has been allowed by the Republicans to act with impunity, so have he will continue to ignore Congress. This is why you have to impeach him immediately.

Okay, George Lucas remains a schmuck but his wife is pure class. She made him make the museum souvenirs and food cheap so that schoolchildren without much money can still have a good day, because she says she remembers how bad it felt to go on expensive field trips. It DOES.

Mama Rainy is soaking up some attention for herself now that her little ones went off to our partner rescue for their next chapters. Rainy developed an acute case of GI distress, probably pancreatitis, probably from the stress of having kittens demanding milk & too much new nutrition too soon.
