An image with a black and white background and a Latin American immigrant and a title Schröinger's Immigrant. On the left, it reads, "Lazily collecting all the welfare." On the right, it reads, "But also somehow taking all the jobs."

Das imperialistische Zeitalter ist zurück! Wenn wir daraus Lehren zu ziehen versuchen, statt aus der unilateralen Welt seit 1989/91, eine Zeit, die wir vergeudeten, dann einigen sich die Großmächte auf Einflusszonen (Deals). Was Leute, die nun Israels Militärschlag bejubeln/2

Starke Juli 1914-Vibes, heute. Mit alles was dazu gehört. Explosive Lage, Blankscheck, Bündnissysteme.

Sign says THE WRONG ICE IS MELTING

From Worcester MA, same idea…

An engraved paving stone that says "publish." The word appears twice, in mirror image, so you can see it whether you're coming or going.

Christ's sake, Chicago, I'm just trying to go for a walk.

I was in Riga two years ago. Thinking about Russia feels different from there.

Bluesky is collegial and interesting, the way Twitter used to be. Bonus: most people can spell.

Apropos nothing in particular:

NEW: Elon Musk’s X has suspended accounts of Turkish opposition groups, suppressing footage of anti-government protests.

7000 people killed in the Congo in January alone. This barely makes a blip in the white global media.

A book standing upright on multiple copies, which are laying next to a 1920s Underwood typewriter. The book cover is a faded and blurry background, with a photo of a person’s ear horizontal on the bottom, and text emitting from it to represent sound. The text in large font says “Echoes of Care” followed by “Deafness in Modern Britain” and the author’s name, Jaipreet Virdi.

From an idea in 2008 to a book in 2025, ECHOES OF CARE: DEAFNESS IN MODERN BRITAIN has been published by @mcgillqueensup.bsky.social ! It explores how changing perceptions of deafness intersected with healthcare, disability, and eugenics in 19th-century Britain.
