I've just sent Volume III of my Chaucer edition/translation to @classiquesgarnier.bsky.social. 103 files (about 500.000 characters) including The Legend of Good Women, Chaucer's shorter poems, and the poems attributed to "Ch".
It's not been easy with our neighbour harassing us... But I did it!

After nearly four years, Ukraine continues to resist Russia's unprovoked invasion. But we cannot forget the importance of this fight. Take a look at my deep-dive on my Substack page at the link in my reply.

Mercy, folks, take 2.5 min and watch this startling work of craft, this Sesame Street for Adults on the topic of...February.

Farewell,Wren.

It’s not too late for states and Congress to stop Trump from subverting the midterms With only nine months before the midterm elections, Trump is plotting to prevent Democrats from taking control of Congress.

My Latest: Contrary to many doomsayers, it is not too late to protect the midterm elections. There are steps Democrats can take now — at both the state and federal levels — to safeguard our elections. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/its-...

Probably do have to teach some advanced reading skills now. It’s so depressing.

DVD players can be found for under $50. I’m grateful for mine.

Two Sundays of weather moved services online, so we had combined kids in worship (yay!) + world missions (yay!), followed by annual meeting.It was a lot, even for us.

Quite rightly!

I own the Criterion BluRay of I KNOW WHERE I’M GOING, and it’s a treasure.

Okay, kids...Tom Holman warns us that unless we start behaving, then and only then will there be a draw down.

This is the language of an abuser. And, I see every single one of my friends on here who have been in a relationship with an abuser.

It’s day 64 of the ICE occupation of MSP.

Today ICE officers once again arrested observers at gunpoint, caused lockdowns of neighborhood schools, and harassed people on the street simply for their skin color.

Nothing has changed, despite the rhetoric from “leaders.”

Incredible resource👇. Many of my “footnotes” are here and many more besides!

Have some kitties. This is Neville (gray tuxedo) and Rumi (floof). These two best friends are available for adoption in Minnesota through Bond Between. You can learn more about them here: www.thebondbetween.org/cats-for-ado...

What joy! God bless you.

Spoken-word poet Dick Bakken (1941-2026) died last week. He was a friend and mentor. His 1970 note/poem resigning from a tenured position also seems a fitting eulogy.

nursesonja • 7h & Threads Let us not forget, it was the same administration that reduced us to wearing trash bags as protective gear while we watched the hospital go up in flames around us during the pandemic that just murdered one of our own on the streets in broad daylight. As a nurse & as a person, I will never forgive. I will never forget. I will never back down. This was never about border control. This is about total control. O240 Q5 G34 → 21

The nurses are pissed

Infinite facepalm.

Calling all the PhDs I know to make monumental annoyances of themselves (and honestly, who better)

Live updates: Jack Smith testifies to lawmakers about his investigations into Trump Former Special Counsel Jack Smith led two now-defunct criminal investigations into Donald Trump.

"If asked whether to prosecute a former President based on the same facts today, I would do so regardless of whether that President was a Republican or a Democrat… Our investigation developed proof beyond reasonable doubt that President Trump engaged in criminal activity”
-Jack Smith

Jack Smith: "President Trump has sought to seek revenge against career prosecutors, FBI agents and support staff simply for having worked on these cases. To vilify and seek retribution against these people is wrong."

Near ideal.

No, Trump Hasn’t ‘Settled Seven Wars’ And he should be called out on that claim every time he makes it.
