(It could be that you just reposted the vid made the person who won that auction lot, I’m realizing. These are the perils of contacting total strangers on social media 🤣)

In any case, if you did end up with one of those and are willing to scan or photograph it—my email is ajodasso@gmail.com. Otherwise, if you have plans to scan it and post the pages online for access, could you let me know? And if I was given incorrect info and you’re not that person, sorry again 💙

I’ve been curious to see a full sample of what one of the TdV scripts looks like complete w/stage directions to get a full feel for the in-house writing style. I apologize if a request like this is an imposition; it’s just a rare opportunity to see something like that if you’d be willing to share!

Hi, sorry to bother you if I have the wrong person, but I thought it was worth a shot: a friend said they thought you *might* be someone who ended up w/1 of the copies of the IWTV “Trial!” script that was up for auction. I was wondering if you might be willing to either scan or photograph the pages?

I can’t with this lady.

There’s a part in here where she suggests reclassifying “late”-dx kids (a heavily female group) separately as “hypersensitive” instead of autistic. This would be treated as an issue of anxiety & “resilience.” 1/3

If you have the means, please donate to the Trans Continental Pipeline right now. They are a Colorado based org that helps trans people relocate and they are overwhelmed with requests. Colorado borders Kansas, and TCP has the infrastructure to help get people out.

As of tonight, licenses of trans people across Kansas are being invalidated en masse, enabling the overnight criminalization of an entire group of people for going about our lives. It’s often said you never know when you’re living through history, so let me assure you: that’s what’s happening now.

feels cruel for Bluesky to have a Popular With Friends tab, if any of us were popular with friends we wouldn't be on Bluesky

Next time somebody tries to get me to justify the existence of the humanities, I’ll just point out how for the past two Super Bowls we’ve all jumped online and engaged in collective semiotics and hermeneutics of the half-time show as text.

There were enough reasons to never, ever use generative AI from day one—environmental damage and plagiarism-on-demand alone; stop treating it like it’s your assistant, your confidante, your plaything, seriously, STOP—but if you need a political reason to help you quit, a compelling one just dropped:

Let us not forget, it was the same administration that reduced us to wearing trash bags as protective gear while we watched the hospital go up in flames around us during the pandemic that just murdered one of our own on the streets in broad daylight. As a nurse & as a person, I will never forgive. I will never forget. I will never back down. This was never about border control.
This is about total control.

A photo of teenage Claudette Colvin in glasses and a sweater.

Friends, Claudette Colvin—the 15-year-old who refused to give up her seat on a Montgomery bus in March 1955 & joined the federal case against bus segregation that went to the Supreme Court — died today at age 86. But there are lots of myths and mis-impressions about her. A short corrective thread:

Look, just because the US government looks like Nazis, quotes Nazis, endorses Nazis, and acts like Nazis, doesn’t mean they’re Nazis

*holds hand to earpiece*

I’m being told it does in fact mean they’re Nazis

Stephen Colbert on the ICE murder of Renee Nicole Good: “The message from this administration is clear. Only they determine the truth. And when their forces come to your city: obey or die. And if you die, you clearly didn’t obey. This should be an alarm bell for the entire country.”

Some nights, Ember (3yrs old; long-haired dilute tortie), cries until I get up, carry her around the darkened house to rub her face on the frames of our artwork, and then tuck her into her blankie atop the cat tree. She’s precious; she comforts big brother Nicky when I’m watching Sad People On TV.

Never Out of Date: How Hannah Arendt Helps Us Understand Our World Fifty years after her death in New York, Hannah Arendt has become the most popular philosopher of our time. For good reason: Her views are just as timely as ever.

"50 years after Hannah Arendt's death, the ideologies are back. On a global scale, but also in the everyday life of each individual. The globe is being redistributed, and it's not entirely clear how it will turn out. Arendt can teach us how to confront this world."

The government is saying that violence rules. That snatching foreign leaders and territories, and shooting US citizens in their cars at point blank range, is justified. That resistance is not only futile, it is dangerous. They can say these things. But they cannot force us to believe them.
