I could also just track down my favorite secondhand sellers who deal through Amazon to their own websites and see if that’s a solution, too, tbh.

But again, next year summer and later.

I do wish Bookshop had more works by academic presses, but that just means I’ll have to order from presses directly after I move, probably.

PLUS ordering books via Bookshop.org supports your local indie bookstore

so I believe you know what you should do!

ObPeriodicReminder: If you were born before 1982 and don't have conclusive, *documented* proof of getting 2 doses of MMR, get another dose unless it's counterindicated. The second dose wasn't added to the schedule until later and a lot of us never got the catchup dose.

Friends! With the looming SNAP cutoff, I'm also going to do this -- send me a food bank donation receipt and I'll match up to $500.

Every single part of this is divine

This is awesome!!

Always a lovely time when one learns from ones own mistakes! *sigh*

Well. Onwards and upwards upwards. Fixed for the future, and a mistake is a good reminder why I have the routine I have in place.

maybe this is all there is we make the time happen as we move through space send love backwards no, not backwards, but behind, beyond in the flow of the current in the ripples or waves of this rushing river borne aloft and spinning in eddies or maybe it’s muddied with hate, poisoned or red with blood death lives in time, too et in Arcadia ego and all that you live a life full of rushing, and having no time to stop for him, or making none he’ll stop for you a stone sinking to the river bed

oh are we talking about submission fees? and how those who charge for submissions are exploitative? and classist? are we finally talking about how this is one of the simplest and clearest examples of gatekeeping in publishing?

beyond the intrinsic pleasure of doing the reading, may i suggest another motivation?

it's *incredibly* annoying for your enemies in dumb internet arguments when you've actually read the source material they're inaccurately trying to flog people with

I hate how in America a) there are Nazis roaming about and b) if one of them assaults you, you are suddenly in 30k of debt. Anyway, help out a comrade.

🧵 Here's a behind-the-scenes look at the work that goes into lovingly repairing historic books from The Portico's 19th-century collection...

If you work at a hotel, restaurant, or convenience store frequented by ICE agents in the Chicago area, I want to hear from you.

also gets to a bewildering, frustrating paradox at the heart of US political discourse: the "elites" are never the billionaires who fund the right (Musk, Ackman, Ellison, Rowan), or the often Ivy educated R politicians (Vance, for example).
No, only vaguely left college professors are "elite"

I realize that it's so basic that it's practically banal to say it, but we really, really, really need to stop talking so much about people's motives, explicit or presumed, and spend much more time simply and accurately talking about their actions the consequences of those actions.

"...at least $504 million to politics, a staggering sum for someone who insists he isn’t a billionaire. Most of it has gone to President Trump and right-leaning causes, mostly in the last five years."

I’m coming out of my cage and I am NOT FINE sorry to the poet gods, but I couldn’t resist a little gremlin, a little treat just for me where is that exasperating little fuck he’s late I’m not giving out my number to just anyone you got to be a silver tongued trickster a sly little weirdo, real wyrd in the old ways I want to bottle him up put him in neat canopic jars all in a row each finial head fashioned from bone I just want a guy with a fey streak in him a toadstool circle dancing mad boy grape leaves in his hair and pine cones tumbling but this is fine, I’ll go on as if it’s fine I’ll make my own magic curses and bells and bread baking It’s not a cage if I hold they keys I keep telling myself that It’s not a cage if I’m the one that locked the door

“Because there's an endless amount of data available to us and we have a limited bandwidth to conserve, we might consider carefully curating the quality of what we allow in.”

-- Rick Rubin

This is an excellent point. Zohran ran a textbook campaign that the centrists are always talking about, just talking about rent control and free buses and cost of living, and the centrist Dems tried to make it all about Israel/Palestine and other identity issues (his Muslim faith) to smear him.

Opinion | I Led Product Safety at OpenAI. Don’t Trust Its Claims About ‘Erotica.’

Universities must cut ties with OpenAI. And no, "cocaine is available on the streets, there's no reason we shouldn't dispense it in the dorms" is not a good argument.

Python was awarded a funding grant, funding grant asked Python foundation to remove all diversity and inclusion initiatives they have.

Python foundation said no and rejected the grant.

If you use Python, send a few dollars to the charity to keep it going. I’m pushing a dono on behalf of ScamGuard.

Sorry, extra word got in there. The COSRX stickers*

Oh, the COSRX ones stickers are legit, but also if you’re not for sticking something on your face for a few hours/whole day while out and about I also use adapalene as a non light sensitive spot treatment (still need sunblock with it, tho.)

I’m sticking to my rule of not reposting any image without alt text. I’ve been doing pretty good with that.

But omg. It’s really bad on the tl rn

Why am I seeing so SO many pictures now (seemingly mostly this week???) without alt text?
