I don’t know how to describe it, but recent stuff in this realm feels related to the rise of LLM summaries

Justice for the Gospel of Thomas!

I’m always mad about what they picked and what they left out.

Impeachment is a Duty The importance of telling a consistent and accurate story on matters of fire.

“People tend to disbelieve stories when actions don't meet the words—even if the story is true. In fact, if the actions of those telling the story don't match their words, people stop believing the story is true, despite mounting evidence of its veracity.”

Poster for the talk How do Cats Meme with details below a picture of a #18thc cat castle being besieged by rats

If you are in Basel tomorrow afternoon, I'm talking about cats as memes from the #18thc till now. Plus have some nifty new things to share I made w/ Lewis Walpole Library digital collections.

I show F for Fake every semester and now I do a little presentation ahead of time introducing Orson Welles. Can’t even use Pinky and the Brain to explain because that’s too old.

A colourpoint lop/lionhead rabbit who looks like a furred shape. I’m rubbing her head, but it doesn’t look like she has a face because her face is much darker than the rest of her.

Conundrum refuses to stop being a cryptid, but she would still like you to pet her. Please be nice to her; she is shedding.

An advance reader copy of my forthcoming book, ALL MY DEAD CATS AND OTHER LOSSES: PRACTICING GOOD GRIEF IN A CULTURE THAT FEARS MOURNING. The cover is cream, orange, and blue, with pawprints leading to a starry portal. It is next to an urn and a glass jar with several small bones.

ARCs have landed! He’s a real boy!

Preorder for a present to July 28 you (or a friend).

I have had the same experience

Oh my god, I forgot about this, but the bunny must be so confused right now.

And like, I was good at running, but not national or even state quality good. I was consistently third on my team. I still valued the comradery and the fact that I was mostly competing against myself and the way I felt when I ran. I was never going to be Olympic level, and I am still glad I did it.

YES! I was a competitive kid and I still didn't care about winning as much as I cared about hanging out with friends and playing. It felt good to play soccer. I was never as good at soccer as I was at running, but I loved how it made me feel.

Chester A. Arthur

There’s no Chester A. Arthur gif on here.

My great grandmother met my great grandfather when she was a vaudeville ballerina. (He had a roller skating act and was a shit human being.)

I would watch a reality show in which Darryl Hannah hunted Ryan Murphy for sport.

The belief that there was ever a prolonged time in which the majority of women weren’t earning money is pure pop culture vibes and not history. Not dissimilar to “forty was ancient in those days.”

Whole 🧵

Oh good gravy. Burke had thoughts on a lot of things, and they were mostly, at the end of the day, about boobs. Signed, an actual eighteenth-century scholar.

Any politician asking questions has the resources to have answers. They do not care that they’re hurting an already vulnerable group of people. It doesn’t matter whether they’re not completely genocidal if they’re making room for those who are.

The answers to the supposed “””questions””” under discussion are already well established and easy to find. They don’t have questions. They have bigotry they’re justifying as care and concern. These are just cowards who don’t want to be seen as the bigots they are.

Anyway, giving an inch on this is opening the door to every other genocidal move these people are making and if you’re going around telling a group already under genocidal threat to welcome people who are holding the door, that is cruel and you should know it’s cruel.

The “trans women in sports” “””questions””” are really just “are you a sexist asshole who, on vibes alone, assumes anyone assigned male at birth is better at sports than anyone assigned female at birth? are you the kind of loser who wants to keep little kids from exercise and fun?”

I’ve been badly wanting to try one of those

I dislike so many books that I would also say are incredibly well written! I hated One Hundred Years of Solitude! That’s on me! And sometimes I reread a book I disliked and oop, I like it now!

I’m only X post-facto, but I think one factor is a more limited TV diet than later plus early internet culture. The Boomers largely weren’t getting online en masse when we were.

Gorgeous!

Oops, sorry, "hundreds of millions of dollars"
