The Cornell rapists. Not one is trans. Not one is a drag queen. Not one is an immigrant. Not one identifies as a radical feminist, a radical Muslim or a radical leftist. But those are the people we’re supposed to be afraid of?

I always wish we would make more time for those conversations. Most students agreed they shouldn't use that language. Most said that they would intervene if they saw something. But few would be willing to teach peers, to have hard conversations or challenge them. We need more bravery from men.

#JamesBarryDiary 29/9/1876 And still another very warm dry day. Water getting still lower, I can only grind about 15 Bushel of Buckwheat now. I got 2 little pigs from John Heron and I put them in the stable and the Buggers in the house did not feed them and they dug out through the rotten boards.

1/ COVER REVEAL 🧵 I'm thrilled to share the US and UK covers for SLEUTH-HOUND: THE CASE OF THE REAL SHERLOCK HOLMES, the untold story of Dr. Joseph Bell—the Victorian surgeon who inspired Arthur Conan Doyle to create the world's greatest detective. Pre-order here: shorturl.at/fdGnV
1)	The US and UK covers side by side. The US cover (left) features a striking image of Bell, and has a silhouette of Holmes. The font is very ornate, and it looks very “Sherlockian.” The UK cover (right) is striking in its reds, blacks, and whites. It features a silhouette of a poison bottle, and has fingerprints all over the cover.

Friday night cruisin' on the St. Lawrence.
A view of the night skyline of our glen, taken from our boat. The red/green nav lights are visible in the foreground, there are a surprising number of lights on land along the horizon, but the star of the show is the moody, undulating cloud cover (like grumpy whipped cream).

Oh sure, when teens and young adults prefer to take in important information via clips and reels, they've all got 'brain rot' and society is doomed. But someone renders major historical events via the medium of a big scarf, and people can't get enough of it? PICK A LANE, GUYS! #BayeuxTapestry

That's not how executive orders work and that's not how naming things work and this isn't how political reporting should work either. This event should be covered, yes, but as another sign of the president's steady descent into complete ineffectiveness and utter insanity.

Today, close to home, a young woman in distress climbed a construction crane & despite heart-wrenching efforts of first responders, she died. Below her (some) people were taking pictures, flying drones, yelling at her to jump. What a fucking species. Please, please, please be good to one another.
