The Artist formerly known as AnAnarchivist

Honestly just want to know how bread is holding up in all this.

At my first professional job, I handled and read survivor accounts. It remains some of the most horrific things I've read in the archives. The medal of honor was given for bravely killing unarmed women, children, and the elderly. The opposite of honorable.

Precisely, actual nerds would wear the Effigy or Dorothea bodies instead of modern corsetry.

Oh good, I'm not the only judgey mcjudgerson about the ren faire "i'm so nerdy yo"

Call me back when you hand sew your eyelets and then we'll talk about nerd dedication.

Lucy Lawless the cat is a brown tabby with green eyes sitting in a fake plant cat tree.

The city sent me a notice about my native garden and #LucyLawless immediately tried to eat it. To be clear, Lucy Lawless is a cat and is ready to fight the man, right after this nap.

For later viewing. I must start my day.

Adam Serwer put it best: For the right, free speech means they can say whatever they want, and you, too, can say whatever they want: www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

When Turkey purged their universities, "The 'to be expelled' lists were prepared by the university administrations. The few universities where massive dismissals did not take place were the ones who did not submit any 'to be expelled” lists."

Oh to be a little Tardigrade scratching its back on a bubble. 🫧🐻🧪

General thoughts about this week: There is no order of words or rephrasings that will get you a republicans' agreement unless you're willing to replace your beliefs with theirs.

Nothing will be good enough so stop trying to get them to nod along with you. It's not helping and they'll be mad anyway

In these troubled times, this is what we need: collective caffeine withdrawal due to #tariffs and #inflation. A more irritable country for all. #coffee

In short, use the republican talking points against them. Everywhere. Their positions are weak, and not pointing that out is a mistake.

"...opinions. Whether you are the President or a school teacher, you should be kept safe from people who mean to take our sacred rights away."
Any skeptical questions, imply the questioner WANTS assassinations & children to be left parentless or they want to waste $ w/ an outdated system.

"...The most american thing we can do in this hard time to prevent future political violence is to create direct legislation to protect us all from being canceled and leading to more silencing of some of our most prominent voices. With this bill, all Americans can feel free to state their..."

"...for the 21st century. Violent extremists cannot hold our ability to speak hostage. We don't allow it for social media sites and we cannot allow the gun lobby to cancel us. Charlie would not have wanted this. His family would want him home more than they want a gun..."

The presser to announce this would be epic. I want to help. "We must ensure violence like happened this week never occurs again. Therefore, I'm proposing the Charlie Kirk gun bill. We will increase requirements for safe storage of guns, closing the gun show loophole, & updating the ATF registry..."

The relish is delicious and possibly radioactive.

The Pope held an event at the white Sox stadium on the same day as the military parade in D.C. THE. POPE.

Chicago is a delight. A hostile delight in a massive puffer jacket. /fin

(Not from Chicago, just lots of family there.)

Donald Trump announced that he won't be sending troops to #Chicago bc the city is "Hostile" & full of "Professional Agitators."

Wrong: The entire city is professional agitators.

They made malort for no reason.
Their pizzas are made of spite.
Da Bears play football to hurt their own fans. 1/2

I'm a bad person but I am drinking the tears of both bears and vikings fans because my entire NFL fan experience is defined by dunking on every team for kicks.

A brown tabby cat with green eyes, chin pointed down to hide her lack of neck.

News continues to be bad. Lucy continues to be a model with her ability to find the light and hold a pose and while simultaneously being a terrible workout companion.

In defiance of everything, I refuse to have a singular THING. I am bad at focusing unless it's hyper focusing, and I refuse to stop.

Last year we got a Department of Education Grant focused on decreasing textbook costs for dental education on all levels! We just published our first book last week (While I was on vacation, so we is doing a lot of heavy lifting here).

I swear to God, Ignatius Loyola sometimes gives me a jump scare.

A more moderate pope is good for American Catholic colleges and universities, as it provides a small bulwark against pressure from the administration. Freedom of Religion allows Unis to not change policies on a theological basis , and the pope supports that particular interpretation.

I am here for the pope jokes and puns. That is all.

Since he's a midwestern pope, it should be "Ope DEI!"

I have tariffed
the penguins
that are on
Heard Island

and which
you were probably
assuming
did not export goods

forgive me
they were taking advantage of us
so cunning
and so cold

I trimmed my undercut back significantly, forgot I had done that and caught a glimpse on screen during a meeting.

Like "OOO WHO'S AN EDGY LIBRARIAN NOW? ... YOU ARE!"

Everything is on fire so I guess I'll submit a talk to this symposium about Margery Kempe (as a way to talk about teaching primary source reading skills to non-historians).

And now time to apply to law school as well. I'm not sane, it's fine, I've accepted this.

Shit I write to friends: "The Supreme Court is so far up its own butt it's now a Klein Bottle."

Sometimes I believe I am clever.
