fuck, I’m sorry, I can’t compete with this
I have graduated to large tote, but it’s heavy enough that sometimes I leave it in the car, and just carry my keys and…a purse, which I keep inside the tote. Is it like my purse had a baby? Or more like the captain’s yacht on the Enterprise? Unsure.
Surely I can’t be the only person whose worries about the world, both specific and inchoate, are manifest in my purse getting progressively larger.
I think about this Tony Benn speech much more than I used to
I have seen a lot of cursed stuff in my time in academia but this is among the *most* cursed.
Grammarly is generating miniature LLMs based on academic work so that users can have their writing ‘reviewed’ by experts like David Abulafia, who died less than two months ago.
Don’t look at me!!!!!
Since the CIA’s Watergate-era spying on civil rights and anti-war activists inside the United States, intelligence agencies have, with some exceptions, been prohibited from gathering information on the domestic activities of U.S. citizens.
Update: Trump announces end of business with Anthropic, unclear if they are going to invoke supply chain risk designation.
Calls it a “radical left, woke company” after it rejects demands for AI usage in mass American surveillance and autonomous killing drones.
Wild timeline.
“They want me to hide or leave or disappear, not to be visible and active in public society."
A new Kansas law went into effect this week that invalidates preexisting IDs with gender markers that do not match someone’s sex assigned at birth.

Almost every statement DHS has made in the past few months about any incidents where someone has died or been subject to unaccountable federal violence has been proven false.
DHS claimed they had dropped him off in a coffee shop. They lied.
It's so much. I'm so sorry, friend.
Lebrecht has a long-documented obsession with Yuja Wang that is, yes, derogatory and misogynistic, and also creepy as hell.
Please don’t call Lebrecht a ‘critic’. What he writes is not criticism, let alone music criticism. It is tabloid muckraking and bullying, and always has been: nothing more and often a whole lot less. He has no more interest in music than I do in his ‘novels’.
I know I’ve been asking for $ these past few weeks but in light of last night’s barbarism:
if you would like to help trans folks in Kansas get a ride to their nearest DMV + cover any license fees they can’t pay, please consider donating with the comment “TRANS RIGHTS”
donorbox.org/solidarity-w...
I doom reposted so much this morning. This is a lovely break.
Because of the National driver register, since their licenses are suspended, trans folks cannot move to another state and get a new license until they remove the suspension on their existing Kansas license.
They can't even escape this by moving to another state.
This fuckin' guy again
That’s great; I ended up fizzling out and blamed myself for too long.
If you have the means, please donate to the Trans Continental Pipeline right now. They are a Colorado based org that helps trans people relocate and they are overwhelmed with requests. Colorado borders Kansas, and TCP has the infrastructure to help get people out.

Oh no, this was me
'IT ENDS TODAY': A federal judge in NJ says the Trump admin has continued to violate court orders in immigration cases and says he's prepared to haul in DOJ and DHS officials under oath. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
NEW: Guards have taken away crayons, colored pencils & paper during recent room searches at Dilley, according to detainees and others. After one inspection, the children just “cried and cried and cried,” a mother said. The facility denies the claims.

They killed him.
It takes a lot to infuriate me and break my heart only because you have to be able to tolerate a lot when covering Trump and fascism and try your best to stay centered and hopeful.
This story I can't let go.
They chose to let him just die.

Great turnout and energy today protesting ICE building a human warehouse in Merrimack, NH today. Governor Kelly Ayotte lied about what her administration knew about this facility and is doing nothing to stop it. We need to vote her out of office. #nhtok #nhpolitics #newhampshire #iceout
An ICE agent shot and killed Ruben Ray Martinez, a US citizen and San Antonio resident, in March 2025. Then ICE and the Texas Department of Public Safety covered it up. He was 23 years old. I am calling for a full investigation into this shooting, including why there was an 8-month cover up.
