Picked up and then devoured this graphic novel today! Was so impressed with how @haridraws.bsky.social played with Austen inspiration and real historical aspects of queer lives, people of color, and class expectations in Regency England. Strongly recommend!
i read @haridraws.bsky.social's I Shall Never Fall In Love today and it completely succeeds at what it sets out to do, essentially being a queer jane austen for modern audiences. by the time i'd finished i was really impressed at how much story and development they managed to fit in there

The thing I try to explain the most to those who don’t live here is that the Nuzzis of the world live in Washington (the place that deserves your ire) and the rest of us live in D.C., a collection of diverse, mostly quiet, walkable residential neighborhoods with no federal representation
I live in DC. You think “official Washington” didn’t care what Trump administration 2 was likely to do?
Talk to someone who works at NIH. Or State. Or CFPB. Or DOJ. They all knew what was at stake. They were all scared + furious.
And reporters like Nuzzi saw none of it because they didn’t care.

it would be kind of metal if the Isabella Stewart Gardner team had just been lying in wait since the 90s training for this and finally struck a second time
Idc, "4 people disguised as construction workers heisted the Napoleon family jewels from the Louvre in 7 minutes by rolling up to the second-storey window on a basket lift" is an objectively hilarious event

Folks, you can't report the United States to its manager. There's no superhero coming to save us.
We don't need one giant act of heroism. We need millions of small acts of solidarity. Help one person in your community for nothing in return. Then, do it again. And again.
That's the revolution.

It took me a very long time to learn "do your best" does not mean "give 100% effort even at the expense of your physical or mental health" or "give A+ effort even when it is clearly not appreciated or valued". Sometimes doing your best is heating up a can of soup and going to bed early.

There's this potentially weird dystopian cyberpunk future where the Internet Archive loses all its copyright battles while OpenAI wins all of theirs, and our only record of the history of the Internet-that-was is locked up inside the unreliable narration of obsolete large language models.
