two weathered red bollards on either side of a battered, bent, drive-thru speaker. the speaker tower leans to the right, the inner speakers are gone and the metal is bent and broken at the sign that says “please place order here.” the tower sits on cracked and broken pavement, covered with fallen leaves. there are woods in the background. it is a sunny day.

This Missal (Texts for the Mass), written in Gothic textualis script, contains a few large red and blue initials with penwork, and a full-page miniature of the Crucifixion. The binding is very early; it may even be original. Northern Italy, 1375-1425 (UPenn Ms. Codex 2053)

The American Railroad project sheds light on the profound yet often-overlooked contributions of Indigenous and African Americans, as well as Chinese, Irish, Japanese, and other immigrant communities, to construction of the U.S. Transcontinental Railroad and connecting railways across N. America. 🚂 🎶

i think it’s extremely rude to walk around while looking at your phone — stop if you need to use it! if you’re walking & looking at your phone, you’re telling me it’s my responsibility to look where you’re going bc you can’t be bothered to

Do you have any extremely niche, but serious, ethical stances?

pretty much my position on the usefulness of the mass protests, for whatever it’s worth

Dr. Lisa Corrigan @drlisacorrigan.bsky.social · 2d

In social movement studies, we talk about how marches and protests expand the threshold of acceptable risk so that people take more and bigger social risks IN PUBLIC, EN MASSE. This is extremely important for the bourgeois white folks holding signs and building social rapport.

Jonathan M. Katz @katz.theracket.news · 2d

Not a shitpost: #NoKings is feel-good performative activism for comfortable mostly upper and upper middle class white folks and that’s good, actually. Millions of people in the streets protesting a fascist regime is good. It is good for the normie baseline to be massive displays of public dissent.
