Sometimes I get dragged into dumb conversations on Reddit. It is genuinely perplexing to me that there are people who think women who are doctors cannot ever be misogynistic. My experience of OB/GYN docs suggests otherwise. I was told that saying this is saying “gender doesn’t matter.”

This display of a mine troll’s treasures is at a mining museum in Finland. The exhibits included tons of clear didactics that explained history & technology as well as several whimsical areas dedicated to the resident troll. This strikes me as just absolutely Finnish.

Attended a zine-making workshop at NAAS 2025. We sat in companionable silence, listening to music, coloring, cutting, and pasting. It was a fun, relaxing, and refreshing way to think through the material I was presenting the next day. Definitely going to use this in the classroom #NAASpirations

Forgive the wonky picture. This lil guy at the National Museum in Stockholm is a wax portrait. Wax portraiture was much more common than you might think and it’s my current research obsession. Sadly there was no label on the case for this so I have no idea who he was.

Imagine if Biden had issued such an order. Just imagine. These people are trying to silence any disagreement with their political goals. And their political goals are power, not evidence-based public services.

I really don’t understand why so many people want to see democracy in the US destroyed. I understand that self interest drives the billionaire class towards oligarchy. But honestly Joe the Plumber isn’t going to benefit from the destruction of all our civic institutions.

He consistently violated the emoluments clause throughout his first White House rampage as well. Our system was built and maintained by people who did not ask themselves “what would stop a shameless psychopath from robbing this system blind?”

Maybe if he had to show up at the office every day it would be easier for him to stay on task? He is clearly not good at working from home.

Something I hope Democrats would repeat constantly:

Trump has the power to set tariffs to deal with emergencies, not create them. But the Republicans in Congress have unleashed him and set our economy on fire.

“The democrats” are using fear to control people. Uh huh, that’s right. It’s not at all the regime claiming all immigrants are gang members. 🙄

Gentle reminder that the daily propaganda mouthpiece of the CCCP was called Pravda- aka Truth.

The fact that Trump calls his daily screed factory “Truth” could not point to a more obvious conclusion.
