Shouting Thomas

Lots of lovers strolling arm in arm gazing and laughing and kissing. It's nice and melancholy

You could launch a formal complaint and maybe get a news cycle highlighting the tension and maybe move a couple of people who have more finely developed senses of civic shame than the average PC elected while also negatively polarizing people who love breaking traffic laws in their car

At what point does the Cons opposition to speed cameras become a conflict of interest?

“Generally, the larger your dwelling and the further you drive day-to-day, the greater your carbon footprint. Suburban and exurban areas tend to have larger homes, are more car-dependent, and residents tend to work further away from where they live.”

In all seriousness: deadline for submissions is November 15th, I have two papers, I'd love a third, but if we get more I'm happy to submit two panels. Email me!

Moon real big right now

If Trump is elected, the war in Gaza and Lebanon would come to an abrupt halt before or shortly after he takes office. That much is clear - he does not want distractions as he proceeds to pulverise the US constitution.
That may sound like a good thing? for Palestine/Israel? No.

Periodic reminder: use alt text on images, please!

Many visually impaired folks use tech called screen readers to hear what is on the website.

Alt text allows the screen reader to describe the image to these users.

The Man might insist that this image is a late 13th, early 14th century scribal illustration, possibly by Spanish artist Michael Lupi de Çandiu

A medieval book detail showing a wedding. Their are five figures. At the centre is a priest with a tonsure and light stubble on a full face. The Priest is joining the hands of two figures, they're both ambigously gendered with strong jaws, flowing robes and curly hair. One has light stubble. Beside them are two witness whose bodies are inclined towards the couple whose hands are joined. Everyone in the image has a mix of features that one might name as masculine and feminine. So while we know that the image likely depicts a male priest, a groom, his male witness, a bride, and her female witness, it could also depict four trans women and a trans man.

I felt really connected to my queer ancestors when I saw this image of a transmasc priest doing a handfasting for this transfemme polycule

I got this from Getty images via my History of Christianity II prof, who says it's Spanish, late 13th, early 14th, century, possibly by Michael Lupi de Çandiu

Black and white sticker on a green pole we’ve made it so that automobiles can go everywhere at the expense of children going anywhere

Just a minor side effect of car dominance.

Since it's a @jm-mcgrath.bsky.social morning, something he wrote in July has absolutely haunted my thoughts since.

"...the threshold a government needs to meet before it can cause harm to its citizens, and how many falsehoods it can tell in the process."

Haunted by it.

Ontario’s draft rules for special economic zones limit oversight | The Narwhal The Doug Ford government’s draft regulations for special economic zones under Bill 5 empower ministers and dismiss First Nations’ request for oversight

First Nations asked the Doug Ford gov't for oversight measures over special economic zones (law-free areas for trusted proponents & designated projects). They asked for a public registry, an appeals process on cabinet decisions and time limits.

The government said no

Despite having read about the Haitian revolution before (the Black Jacobins is of the books that most influenced my life) I'd somehow forgot about or never learned about en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Romaine... and I just think this person is too much for contemporary humanities people, we're not ready.

Ok, I didn't watch it with sound on till now which kinda undercuts my extreme sincerity by so it goes

The merch merchant is a short pixie-ish femme wearing panty hose, bright red boots shorts, a men's dress shirt with only the top two buttons done up and a fat a tie. It's incandescent
