Leopard slug (Limax maximus) crawling along my page. #SciArt.
Watercolor illustration of a large spotted leopard slug on light gray paper. The slug is depicted with a light gray painted trail of mucus trailing behind it, wandering all over the paper.

Digging into @anatosaurus.bsky.social's manifesto on Magnestism > Pollingism.

Genius from her diagnosis of what's missing from most 2025 "autopsies" on: why we want to win.

"...to enact the agenda you believe in or, at the very least, blunt the authoritarian assault against Americans now underway"

“Pollingism” Has Failed Democrats and Voters. Here’s Why, and What to Do Instead.

A reminder today that things don't always go as you planned in life.
I absolutely couldn't make a go of it doing colour pencil drawings like this. But I did get there in the end.

If you can afford to keep trying, keep trying x
5 colour pencil drawings of flowers from the garden. 1 watercolour of Irises in a neighbours garden. All by me, Sam :-) Samantha when my parent's are cross with me!

The government has submitted a wailing motion on discovery in the Jim Comey case--partly wailing that bc he won't agree to a protective order--they don't have agreement.

But they basically ignore Judge Nachmanoff's order that ALL discovery is due Monday.

I'm at a Goth-themed night market in Pittsburgh. They do this twice a year and it's always a great time. Waiting to eat Tansylvania chimney cakes...
Flier for a Goth night market in the Allentown neighborhood of Pittsburgh, PA. Entertainment, food, and vendor venues are listed on the vintage-style flier, including a drag show, some DJ's, and other live music.

By the time of James' arraignment on October 24, DOJ will EITHER have dismissed Jim Comey's case, OR the evidence that Halligan was unlawfully appointed AND the evidence that EDVA knew they had no probable cause against Comey will be public.

Friends, some advice if you plan on spending time outside in an animal costume, sharing for no particular reason:

-You will sweat a lot more than you think. Have water/snacks

-You cannot move well (the Left Shark guy is a trained experienced professional dancer). Don’t run or you’ll trip and fall.

3c) Want to take the opportunity to share this great article from @truthout.org about racism/fascism and The Punisher character
Marvel’s “Punisher” Was a Hate Symbol Long Before Police Co-opted His Character
The Punisher has long been embraced as a classic superhero, but his comics spread reactionary ideology.

I teach a history of antifascism course @ruhistorydept.bsky.social and figured I'd start an ongoing thread this semester to share some insights from course readings and recommend some great works on antifascism.

The MAGA movement’s political triumphalism is diametrically opposed to a morally necessary reckoning with our national sins.
Political Triumphalism Is Contrary to the Spirit of Yom Kippur
The Jewish holiday’s emphasis on repentance requires confronting our past sins, not burying them
