I have my great great great grandfathers diary in my possession - he drew this in 1845. There were no photos so he drew what he saw. I am sharing Henry T Whinfield’s art for the first time ever to the world. This is a world debut.

Yesterday’s earthquake was a 4.2. Why did some in the area not feel it?

the sad part is that survivors fought like hell to even get expulsion for rapists on the table. when I was an activist > 10 years ago, administrators were *shocked* that we wanted expulsion as a disciplinary option.

SO much love for the covid cautious spaces that maintain their shared principles under enormous pressure to capitulate. When organizers commit to accessibility they send the message that the participation of disabled agitators is understood as critical.

Let’s not forget that the precautions we associate with Covid (clean air, PPE like masks) were *lessons* more of us learned in the earlier stages of the pandemic. Lessons that, applied, can protect from many other viral illnesses and create greater access for immunocompromised people.

How do we incentivize people to paint wizards on their vans again I haven’t seen a wizard van in a decade and it feels like we lost something precious Can we offer up a tax credit? Little bags of shrooms? Start a wizard van painting program at vocational schools?

Stories like this have, for ages, treated men's desire to harm women as a sort of background noise, a weather we just normalize and accept and try to work around. Feminism is among other things a process of denormalization.

This is why I don't really debate people who say it's good for x or y. It might be? But I know for a fact that doing the thing ourselves is good, it's good for our brain, and it's good for our social ties. And it's usually good for many things at once instead of being good for one task at a time.

The iced coffee at a job interview discourse is just absolutely baffling me. Why in the world would anyone care? It’s not like they showed up with a beer or offered you a joint. If you wouldn’t care if they showed up with it to work, why would you care if they showed up with it to the interview?
