ICE is doing a hell of a lot of harm in the Chicago area *right now.* I donβt mean to trivialize the national guard stuff, it absolutely is an irresponsible escalation, but the guard-centric convo around this really does understate whatβs going on without any guardsmen.

I am teaching some of the reignited Mainz Catholicon printing debates to German print history students, and I realized others might also be interested in using these debates as a way to teach analytical bibliography, print hist, etc... so I made a teaching resource!

If any other president in all of history said the military should use American cities as a training ground he would be removed from office that same day. The hardest thing to tolerate in all this is how relatively silent elected democrats are. Itβs ridiculous.

Incunables like the Catholicon are not my area of expertise, but I do have a love for analytical bibliography and print history, so this debate continues to excite me (and @gutenbot.bsky.social)

As the operator of @gutenbot.bsky.social I was contractually obligated to create this Catholicon discourse bibliography, but I also think this is a useful resource for people teaching:
- incunables
- analytical bibliography
- print history
- scholarly debate/exchange via journals

I can't get over how the right-wing doesn't understand modern militaries, with the majority serving non-combat roles. You think the best IT security & logistics personnel spends two hours in the gym every day to look like the cast of 300? They're at furry conventions and model train shows.

Alt text: Screenshot of a document outlining a new university policy. The bullet points state:
No discussion of transgender topics or anything suggesting more than two genders.
All information in syllabi about transgender topics must be removed.
Instructors must use studentsβ given names, not preferred names.
Safe-space stickers, LGBTQ flags, etc. are banned and must be removed.
Employees must remove pronouns from email signatures.
The university will not support faculty who teach or discuss these topics in class.
Under pressure from Texas government officials, Angelo State University in Texas is banning all discussion or mention of the existence of trans people along with banning the LGBTQ pride flag from campus and forced misgendering of trans people.

Meme in two parts. First: picture of Geordi LaForge from Star Trek looking straight ahead, left arm extended and palm down. Text reads do not comply in advance. Bossy, already a clichΓ©, implies permission to comply later. Second picture is Geordi LaForge looking to his left, eyes are glowing red. Text reads fuck you, make me. Leads by example, directs yelling at opposition instead of allies, easy to chant at a protest or put on a banner

There is no world in which it is normal for the president to publicly call upon his attorney general to hurry up and prosecute his political foes. Itβs like the Watergate tapes but posted on social media. Letβs get a grip on whatβs happening here.
