So glad to hear that this incredible collection has found a new home. It was an honor to get to meet James a number of years ago and spend some time with other volunteers planning how to create a digital inventory. I'm glad to contribute to the library's relocation!

This part of our response essay is where I'm at. Boiling down all of politics to electoralism has been absolutely terrible for resisting rising authoritarianism.

had to pause the audiobook last night to complain about an entire chapter listing additional examples of white animals being extra scary (polar bears, albatrosses, etc)

Picked up and then devoured this graphic novel today! Was so impressed with how @haridraws.bsky.social played with Austen inspiration and real historical aspects of queer lives, people of color, and class expectations in Regency England. Strongly recommend!

The thing I try to explain the most to those who don’t live here is that the Nuzzis of the world live in Washington (the place that deserves your ire) and the rest of us live in D.C., a collection of diverse, mostly quiet, walkable residential neighborhoods with no federal representation

I don't have "too many tabs open." My tabs are flourishing. Healthy. Bountiful. The ecosystem is thriving.

it would be kind of metal if the Isabella Stewart Gardner team had just been lying in wait since the 90s training for this and finally struck a second time

It's not a Storrowing unless it's on the native concrete of Boston. Otherwise it's just a sparkling truck peeling.

Folks, you can't report the United States to its manager. There's no superhero coming to save us.

We don't need one giant act of heroism. We need millions of small acts of solidarity. Help one person in your community for nothing in return. Then, do it again. And again.

That's the revolution.

It took me a very long time to learn "do your best" does not mean "give 100% effort even at the expense of your physical or mental health" or "give A+ effort even when it is clearly not appreciated or valued". Sometimes doing your best is heating up a can of soup and going to bed early.

Picked up The Summer Isles on this recommendation and was so glad of it-- sad and eerie and transporting, all at once. Thank you!

Currently staying up too late at night reading Woodworking, and it is SO. GOOD. Run, don't walk, to your local bookstore/library! Congratulations, @emilystjams.bsky.social

There's this potentially weird dystopian cyberpunk future where the Internet Archive loses all its copyright battles while OpenAI wins all of theirs, and our only record of the history of the Internet-that-was is locked up inside the unreliable narration of obsolete large language models.

perhaps the screams from the modems in the 90s were pleas to take the internet no further

I've had okay success with Jessicurl's fragrance-free line, particularly layering Gelebration Spray with Confident Coils (you may need the Rocking Ringlets instead). I'm still looking for other options, though!

Throw Out All Your Plates and Free Yourself Pasta bowls, soup bowls, dinner bowls, blates, bowl-plates, plate-bowls β€” really any kind of bowls β€” are so much better than plates. Not just for serving, but for eating almost any kind of food. One w...

wrote a fun little something for Food & Wine about how bowls are still the ideal serving-ware vessel, and almost always the best one, even as the era of bowls being cool likely comes to an end. there’s maybe some stuff about hosts and guests and generosity and grace in here, too
