Unknown Etiology

Mixed metal pendant necklace and dangly earrings in the shape of horseshoe crabs

My amazing teen made these in her metals art class at school this month.

stylized, simple drawing of a horseshoe crab colored in yellow, green, and blue, with the name Tachypleus gigas in the corner

stop doing random shit 2026

I’d been thinking that SCOTUS impeachments need to arise from misconduct, e.g. Thomas’ bribes. But I think that’s wrong. I think Trump v United States is impeachable for the majority. Let’s not get them on tax evasion. Let’s get them on their *actual* offense. Trump is not a king.

we should call and tell our dem members of congress that we expect them to attend this event and skip SOTU

red state dictatorships are the future of this country and there is no winning this war if we do not have opposition willing to burn down their regional baronies as the fascists attempt to retreat into the back country to reconsolidate yet again.

A foreign policy for the working class is one where states collaborate to discipline capital instead of working with capital to discipline our democracies.

Kitchen table conversation about anti-fascist economics with the one and only @aoc.bsky.social in Berlin.

Ash Wednesday more like FASH Wednesday, our current reality is a hellscape, repost this if you’re annoyed that I need to go buy a new dryer today

abolish dhs and split the funding between departments that provide public goods, including a new NIH institute for previously under-researched diseases, so I don’t have to go insane for the rest of my life!!

lrt: multicultural democracy is worth fighting for.

My students starting singing “We’re all in this together” when they realized Ramadan and Lent are at the same time this year.

🤣😩

there’s just no way for me to “live with dignity” as a disabled person while no one has any idea what the fuck is causing my symptoms. I need to know because I value knowledge for its own sake. knowing is also a critical intermediate step for development reliable treatments.

I don’t know who needs to hear Jesse Jackson leading the kids on Sesame Street in this beautiful call-and-response reminding them that every child is somebody, but here it is

im just so, down to the ghosts of my bones, tired of people who don't actually like leftists continually arguing leftists need to do something about the cracking ice while we all jump on the ice more

physical health is a determinant of mental health far more often than the reverse

we should think about school as though students’ real lives are actually happening right now

I mistakenly believed it was The Nation and was like “their other reporting is so good, damn” and then wondered if I hallucinated the whole thing when I tried to find it.

things don’t have to have a long covid tie-in for me to pay attention to them but the new republic is the publication that ran a hit piece about how lc isn’t real and we’re all a bunch of neurotic bitches with ~pandemic stress~ and then refused to retract it. lmao.

Now that the charity auction items are basically finished, I’ve been getting to some original pieces that’ll be available directly At My Table 👁️👁️

imo all this shows is that no one knows who kennedy is or what he does

If one is looking for left-FP ideas from electeds in the US, could do worse than follow the lead of Ilhan Omar, who has repeatedly put forth a repeal of the Hague Invasion Act as a core necessity for international rule of law. US alignment should not function as a backstop against justice for crimes

i think the mistake has been quitting the field and ceding this rhetoric almost entirely to the other side. laptop class can rightly argue it does the work that maintains the systems that make society healthy and wealthy. they may call us parasites but every accusation is a confession etc.

tbf I’m not sure if the social pressure is even a real thing or something I’m perceiving.

so this was actually inspired by people talking about a potential ebv vaccine rather than npis for covid prevention.

“Invisible Illness” could have been transgressive. Instead, it minimizes Long COVID. - The Sick Times The book fails to convey the severity of infection-associated chronic conditions, demands for treatment, or importance of infection prevention.

Today @thesicktimes.org: Shielding Cournoyer reviews the book "Invisible Illness."

"Though Mendenhall accurately acknowledges the harm of psychologizing illness, her thesis does exactly that." thesicktimes.org/2026/02/13/i...

(I neither want a lot more people to get long covid nor believe that they will—if you’re okay at this point in the pandemic, I think you probably made it through)
