Went to the library this afternoon in [redacted] nearby suburb. Tables of kids doing homework, a jigsaw puzzle 🧩 going on, refugees practising their English with volunteers plus many many well curated book displays.

Cathedrals of the Anthropocene, where knowledge is exchanged, evaluated, shared.

oh this thread is excellent
I just realized a new social media platform means that not everyone here has been exposed to my annual Thanksgiving food tips thread. They are always the same tips. But they're good tips, especially if you're someone who doesn't do a lot of major multi-course meals throughout the year.

So I bought the Le Creuset mini-cocotte cooking book

And I regret to inform you that some of the recipes are literally like:

1. Recipe for soup made in entirely other dishes.

2. Put soup in mini-cocotte. Serve.

Being a young mum had its challenges, but spending time with my adult daughter now is the best reward. Our bond has evolved into the most amazing friendship, and I wouldn't trade it for anything. 💕

Here we go again: some folks in the US will invent reasons for repeated mass shootings, when the answer is obvious to all.

As well-meaning publishers try to navigate the coming storm of state laws against diversity, I hope they'll consider Timothy Snyder's Rule #1 (from his slim book ON TYRANNY).

A friend just asked if we would take rapid covid tests before coming over to visit. So we did. And it was easy and everyone was happy.

That's it, that's the public health.

When I talk to comic book artists I always emphasize the importance of clearly separating their planes of depth. This rule is only for comics and does not apply to Turkish photographer Sami Uçan.

We spend a lot of time telling kids that they can be whoever they want to be, but I think it might be more important to tell them that they can be who they are

If you think that requiring people to link their real names/identities to their online posts is a good idea that will make people more civil, I'm begging you to please read the 15+ years of work showing that it doesn't work and it endangers vulnerable people.

One of the goals of modern authoritarianism and modern propaganda is to wear out those who might otherwise have raised alarms about the actions of the government. Researchers, journalists, pundits and thinkers are the target and the goal is information overload and burnout.
