Happy birthday to one of my favourite haters, Charles Darwin

Academic collaborations in 2026 are just texting each other “discord is updating”

I just cancelled my Amazon Prime Membership to protest the mass layoffs at Wash. Post. This is easy: Open Amazon App, select person silhouette, select Account, scroll down to Memberships, select Cancel subscription. When asked why, select Other. Enter: Wash. Post. #SavethePost #CancelAmazonPrime

Comic page showing disorienting eyes and text that reads “I keep thinking about how they say that the first thing to go when regimes come to power is art. Everything you say or do is monitored, censored, destroyed if it doesn’t fit what the regime wants.”

White page with blue illustrations showing meals, hand made items and other things . Text reads “I think about how we’re all a part of a larger tapestry, adding a stitch to each others lives one thread at a time, through the things we make. The stories we share, a meal, a recipe, a song, whatever it is, brings us closer to each other.”

Again the eyes , distorted with a group of people being enveloped and two phones being over run by notifications. Text reads “2&;$ how rapidly the news cycles were barely able to keep our heads above water to figure out the next steps / but that’s what they want, to exhaust you, so that it’s easier for the cold apathy to settle in/ ice wants you to not care about your neighbors, strangers, anyone and everyone . They want your apathy.”

Three wolves made of threads melt the ice and eyes. Text reads “don’t give it to them”

some thoughts amidst burn out + grief, but keep at it. #iceoutnyc #iceoutmpls #iceoutcomics

the part of zipping up a zipper when you’re “ really rockin & rollin”

You’ve Heard About Who ICE Is Recruiting. The Truth Is Far Worse. I’m the Proof. What happens when you do minimal screening before hiring agents, arming them, and sending them into the streets? We're all finding out.

A few months ago, ICE hired me

I didn't sign and submit any paperwork. I almost certainly failed the drug test. I'm real outspoken about my opposition to the Trump administration, and I am extremely googlable

And yet, there it was, in plain English. "Welcome to ICE!"

My latest for Slate

A photograph of the seminary gym in knives out. It has the same window.

Just watched the new Knives Out and I think it's really important you know that the scene in the Seminary's Gym is filmed in the same place Rick Astley filmed the music video for Never Gonna Give You Up.

I saw the window tracery and immediately made my friends pause the film so I could tell them.

a graph from H.G. Cocks' "Nameless Offences" showing committals for sodomy and related misdemeanors 1806-1900, and a data spike in roughly 1844

me, an academic: (exhales a plume of smoke from my pipe. I haven't said a word in 5 hours) 1844 was a rather good year for sodomy

Here are several happy Virginia opossums (Didelphis virginiana). Some are carrying babies on their backs. Fallen leaves surround them. The atmosphere is cozy and warm.

Happy possum

It's the day.
