A friend of mine had been working on a truly startling project when he passed. A Walt Whitman Tarot 🤯 So I broke out an abridgement of "Leaves of Grass" (I have the complete one for sale, but I wanted a Dover that I could write in), and I'm brainstorming. What do you think, friends?

The past year has had a lot of ups and downs, but I'm so grateful to look out my back patio and see the Blue Ridge mountains. It's been decades since I've felt centered by a sense of place. #BackInAppalachia

Tim Curry and Dolly Parton have taught us not only that you should be bigger, weirder, gayer, and freakier, but also that those qualities are what people will love about you. The things that make you strange and amazing are the things that will resonate with other strange and amazing people

What radicalized me to be the person I am today? Watching "9 to 5" as a little girl and having my mom laugh and cheer those ladies on the whole movie. #DollyParton 📸20th Century Fox

Dolly Parton spent 80 years proving you could have big hair, a bigger heart, a brilliant mind and absolutely no patience for anyone who underestimated you. She gave us unforgettable songs, free books for millions of children, and enough wit, rhinestones and kindness to light up Tennessee.

Bouie is 100% correct here. The goal for Democrats should be to grind the Trump administration to a halt and prompt Trump officials to abandon their posts in humiliation and despair.

I actually don’t believe in overconsumption when it comes to books. In an age where they are literally destroying books I think it’s so important to have physical media. Buy all the books. Build your library up. Buying books will never be a bad decision.

If you're a biologist, especially one in a field that has a history of eugenics and racism (which absolutely includes my own field of evolutionary biology) and you choose to remain "neutral" as race science once again crawls out from under its rock, you are not in fact neutral.

"The contest produced a bizarre two-way race, with a record 34 candidates on the ballot and the satirical Count Binface taking more than one in four votes." Gods we need this in the US. www.abc.net.au/news/2026-08...
abc.net.au
Binface surges and 32 others trail behind
The Reform UK leader secures 62.8 per cent of the vote, but Count Binface's extraordinary second-place finish is the surprise of the night.

"But the real surprise was comedian Count Binface, who claimed 9,455 votes, or 26.7 per cent — by far his strongest result in a parliamentary election."

James Talarico had one message about Jasmine Crockett. “Keep her name out your mouth… She’s a leader in this state, a leader in this country, and she deserves the utmost respect.” 🔥 That’s what leadership looks like. #SheShed

“I’ve been eating BBQ since before Ken Paxton’s first indictment” is a great joke. I’d love to see Talarico swap out the punchline each time he tells it. “…since before Ken Paxton cheated on his wife” “…since before Ken Paxton was impeached by his own party” There are hundreds of options.

Makes me sad to see people on here claiming +2.7°C is now the worst case scenario. Because that’s just…not true? It’s the *most likely* scenario, sure, but worst case is still hovering around +3.2°C. The opposite of doomerism is not foolish optimism.

I love New Orleans because I just walked out of a bar trying to find my way to my car and went the wrong way and found a bookstore that stays open all night. I just dropped an irresponsible amount of money on books. Flawless business model on the book stores behalf can’t even lie.

If you are in London, go see Cynthia Erivo's one person show of Dracula. Now. Go buy tickets. Now. Transcendent is the word I would use to describe it. Her performance would make Olivier know there was a new king of the castle.

Fun fact: security can't cover their face at TSA checkpoints or in secure areas AND the DOT requires, by law, that all individuals with access to a secure area wear a SIDA badge w/their legal name & pic visible and above the waist at all times on duty.

I don't think nations, especially the US, are ready for internal climate refugee migration. Climate was in the top 5 reasons we left Texas. I wanted out while we still were able to afford it. Not a lot of folks will have that privilege.

Dear god. The lack of a liberal arts education is glaring. Also, a liberal arts education is the keystone of Western Civilization back to the Greeks, hell I'd posit that it's the keystone of ALL civilization. And the lack of it today, is one of the key factors in our decline.

When we say "no, everything hasn't been digitized," I need you to understand that we really mean is that virtually nothing has been digitized. This is because the realm of primary sources that historians use is incomprehensibly large.
