For this Indigenous Peoples Day, your astonishing artifact is the earliest known Indigenous depiction of a European — a wood carving from Nunavut dated to 1350. 🧪🏺

Tens of thousands of protestors are facing off against tens of thousands of police in the capital of India, as they demand the resignation of Chief Election Commissioner who has illegally deleted millions of people from India's electoral rolls. Biggest democracy story on the planet, not in BSky.

If Dolly was our constant reminder that it was Good to be Good, Tim Curry was our reminder that it was Good to be Weird. Embrace your strangeness, sing with Muppets, wear your lingerie with a leather jacket, and fuck with uptight people who hate anything that makes them remotely uncomfortable.

Here's the official announcement of Parton's passing from her reps, along with the request that in lieu of flowers, the family asks for donations to be made to Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library at www.imaginationlibrary.com

NASHVILLE, TN (August 25, 2026) – Global icon and humanitarian, Dolly Parton, known to the world as a beloved singer, songwriter, philanthropist, actress, playwright, and author died peacefully today in Nashville, Tennessee. She was 80 years old.

Dolly is preceded in death by her beloved husband of 59 years Carl Thomas Dean (1942 – 2025), her mother Avie Lee Caroline Owens (1923 – 2003), and father, Robert Lee Parton, Sr. (1921 – 2000).

A rhinestone life that shone bright enough for the world to see, Dolly will forever stand as an inspiration not only through her timeless music and prolific songwriting, but also her wit, warmth, and kindness that made us all feel like family. Dolly Parton’s legacy is one of love, compassion, and resilience. With a seven-decade career, she inspired multiple generations of artists and fans with her music and an unwavering commitment to making the world a better place. Her songs will continue to resonate with people of all ages, and her philanthropic work will have a lasting impact.

At Dolly’s request, a small, private service will be held for immediate family. Dolly’s fans and friends from around the world are encouraged to pay tribute to Dolly on social media by tagging @DollyParton or by leaving a message at www.dollyparton.com.

In lieu of flowers the family asks for donations to be made to Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library at www.imaginationlibrary.com.

A man died in ICE custody due to neglect of his leukemia. Gary Indiana has no power & water sources are contaminated — people with electric stoves have no way to boil it. These are told as separate stories but they’re the same fact of death by neglect written in different fonts.

I wish this story was less "Wow, a lady kicked a guy" and more "With training, anybody/women can learn to physically defend themselves". (I'm arguing about framing here, not her. She's great.)

It's so telling that LLM evangelists all brag about the time they're saving by not writing emails but they never talk about the benefits of all this "free time"? Are you leaving work early? Spending more time with your kids? Picking up a new hobby? No, you're just putting more work in your work.

Today is the 36th anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). As we honor the incredible labor it took to pass the ADA, we also recognize that law has never equaled access for many of us who are multi-marginalized and disabled. We must move towards radical inclusion for all of us.

Image description: a multi-colored illustration on a green background. Across the top and bottom reads in white handwritten all caps type, "I wish you all would love disabled people like you love disabled animals." In the center is an illustration of Jimothy, a raccoon with a spinal syndrome (SSS) that gives him a shortened torso. Surrounding him are different illustrated accents and flowers. To the side, reads the artist credit @CourtneyAhnDesign.

I suspect that the "progress/society always moves forward" myth has left a lot of people psychologically unprepared for living in a moment of backwards politics. This is why we study history, to know that societies/rights/progress moves haphazardly in all directions. For all of us.

July is Disability Pride Month! Join me in helping make a more accessible and inclusive future. Let's kick off the month with a small but useful thing: enabling the "Require alt text before posting" checkbox in BlueSky's Accessibility settings. It's sadly per-device, so remember it on new ones!

A screenshot showing my view of BlueSky's "Accessibility" settings page. Shown are two options, "Require alt text before posting" (checked) and "Display larger alt text badges" (unchecked in this screenshot, but also handy!).

See, people always want to make this just about "sports," but the real upshot here is that, 6-3, trans women can't make a claim under the Equal Protection Clause. And if they can't do that, it's hard to see how they have constitutional rights.
