I missed this when it came out, but breaking anti-scab laws with the Pinkertons is...a choice.

If you are seeing news on Ceuta/Melilla, I recommend reading this on extraterritoriality, borders, and Europe/(North) Africa. I've seen too many very very wrong hot takes that don't situate what's happening in...well, what's happening. (Get it from your library, order it online, share w/a friend!)

Minor reflection on govt, but someone very close to me was in US public health during COVID's onset, and seeing the damage that higher-ups in the Trump admin did to him and his colleagues still makes me angry: many burned themselves to *make* COVID a public health emergency, in spite of Trump et al.

I may finally get to assign Hanif Abdurraqib—not only because "There's Always This Year" is a gorgeous piece of writing, but especially because "Second Quarter: Flawed and Mortal Gods" is one of the most beautiful-devastating passages that stitches together home, faith, and sport. For ex:

If you are in Canada and mad about those fleeing the US because of sudden loss of protected status now being unable to claim in Canada, I suggest contacting your MP to ask for 1) an end to the STCA and 2) a roll-back of C-12's one-year ban. www.ourcommons.ca/Members/en/s...

Super, super proud of friend + colleague @cballantine.bsky.social, whose book now not only has a publisher, but is available for pre-order! I know it's been a care-full work of reflection, I'm so, so delighted to see it now make its way into the world. ❤️ fullsetbooks.com/products/lit...

Still thinking about how a boomer family member's trans-dar is so uh non-functional that a tall barista with striped tights, dyed black hair, and cat ears did not register as "possibly trans." (Tbc, I think that's beautiful.)

Is there a meme template for #PWHL #LPHF contract signings?
