Is there some sort of college transfer amnesty program for students from Ohio State and other places like Harvard who want to transfer bc they don’t want that name on their degree and the uni can shorten the transfer coursework based on credits? Michigan should offer this (Idk if Yale is involved)

Re: mirrored lattice, when I was looking up names around Columbus that I know, I found Epstein recommending a “mirrored trellis” design for something else in Columbus, which I realized as I was typing is an aesthetic of the place called Wexner Center for the Arts. Bad vibe

Ritual ideas for Columbus witches
-throw photo in mirror lake
-burn photo at the site of the old city center mall
-soil from new albany, wood from the white picket fence, brick from easton, fabric from limited
-avoid or reprogram mirrored pyramid at center for the arts (and mirror lattice around)

I would need to see Brutus disembowel an effigy before I could trust anything within about a 50 mi radius of the border. Script Ohio formation “fuck you les…” moving into “believe survivors” and the sousaphone to dot the “I” comes out and stomps on a picture of his face

Inside ICE’s Only Contract with a Blue State - Bolts As part of a 287(g) contract between state officials and ICE, Massachusetts continues to release prisoners into deportation—even as state lawmakers look to ban other forms of ICE collaboration.

Massachusetts has spent months delaying & denying @boltsmag.org’s public records requests on how many people it has transferred ICE during Trump as part of its formal contract with ICE.

A supervisor of records ruled last week that the state’s denials are improper; we hope to get records soon.

Dear Bluesky, I like to think of
myself as Your Jewish Friend. Let me be clear to you, the totenkopf tattoo thing is horrible. This shouldn't even be a question.

And in fact as thousands of people of color and historians have been pointing out for a long time, the behaviors he did is also how our country was founded and was run, so accountability in culture is necessary in order to stop and prevent it.

Other people have said misogyny, which I want to uplift, but also it isn’t a mystery that most predators are charismatic and manipulative and I feel frustrated that it is that obvious. Our country’s culture supports abuse and is easily bamboozled by predators

Idk how to explain this as a former Census office employee but the way the Census has been/ is being tampered with is like. Deep constitutional violations. the Census is its own constitutional thing, people should learn more about it

Moneta Sleet's photos should be much better know. But he worked mostly for Ebony, an African American magazine & so was ignored by taste-makers for much of his career. Just as importantly, he didn't own his archive. The magazine did, & it was a poor steward.

Yesterday was probably one of my best Valentine’s Days ever. Gave presents to my little one and for myself, spent the whole day learning something I like, then found pleasantly unexpected surprises in community love and also a little romance. 💕

What's so amazing about Jim Henson as a puppeteer is that he could literally be explaining that Kermit is made out of felt and ping pong balls and yet Kermit still feels alive the whole time he's doing it

Franzi Schimmer captured this Grizzly bear in Brooks Falls, Alaska just floating along, tippy-tapping down the river, browsing the salmon.

Prior to hibernation, up to 40% of a bear's body mass is fat, which is less dense than water (~0.9 g/cm^2), so the murder-monster is also a floaty-boaty.

Yes it’s Valentine’s Day. But it’s also the chosen birthday of Frederick Douglass who was born in 1818 on a plantation in Talbot County, Maryland. He escaped from slavery & rose to become the most eloquent and forceful voice for the abolition of slavery & for Black voting rights in the U.S.

You should do this because you are a talented chef/author and these look like they taste delicious, but I also have another selfish interest bc these are some of my Safety Foods yet they seem too complicated/ many steps and you would write about it in an accessible way
