An interview with a historian who set out to weave a textile of the type that would have been sold to plantations for use by enslaved people, using period equipment.

Q: Are you affirming that you think President Trump is a fascist?

MAMDANI: I've spoken about--

TRUMP: That's okay. You can just say yes. I don't mind.

everyone get ready for our blissful 5-7 hours of Trump being a socialist before they get someone in there to deprogram him

Three things made me smile today.

1. The teenager told me the chocolate cake with candied cranberries and orange peel tasted "lovely."

In 2012, Larry Summers said in an NYT op-ed that my bilingualism would become useless.

In 2025, I still have a full-time job as a translator and he is unemployed.

If you ever have trouble feeling sleepy, try being on deadline to read or write something you don't enjoy and suddenly you will not be able to keep your eyes open. 😖

Must make time to read.

In other news, Cecilia is still Cecilia, so some good things in the world remain constant. 😊
I should’ve gone to sleep an hour and a half ago but instead I just read a long article and the entire Wikipedia page about the Edmund Fitzgerald.

This morning's email brought me an ad for "the bra that changes everything." Hee hee hee. Husband and I spent a fun five minutes imagining the half-hour animation that could be based on this premise.

The bra would have to be worn on the outside, don't you think?

virtue signalling is good actually
Performative decency is actually *so* important for this reason.

It tricks the 10% of ghouls into thinking that there are only 1% of ghouls.

And it makes the 30% of people that don't care one way or another follow the mostly decent crowd
