"Hey is that arrow getting bigger?" - Harold Godwinson, 960 years ago today

That bit of the Bayeux Tapestry where Harold Godwinson gets hit right in the eye by an arrow, allegedly. It's hard to tell whether it's an arrow or a stitch and debate still rages as to how the guy actually died.

The anxiety and hypervigilence meant I noticed every difference between me and my classmates as soon as I started kindergarten. But the one that stood out was that they all seemed to know how they were expected to behave.

Haralsons aren't the prettiest of apples, or the sweetest or crispest or least ephemeral. But is it really fall in Minnesota if you haven't had one yet?

Pregnancy kills. New humans, wonderful as they are, are expensive before they’re ever born &extremely so for decades afterwards. Things that should be socialized to support & alleviate these pressures are instead capitalized & moralized to create even more physical&fiscal dangers but do go on

This is one my primary responses to the "why is everything about race?" framing. The interstate highway system connected this country and enabled commerce on a massive scale. Its planners also designed it to deliberately destroy Black community and prosperity.
