So pleased to have this piece by @gvaughnjoy.bsky.social to start off our month of monsters!

Don’t sleep on the 1910 silent version— I embedded it so it starts right at the scene of the creature’s creation, which is as unique and marvelous as Vaughn describes.
"Have the creators of each new iteration followed Mary Shelley’s Promethean lead, nurturing a beloved creation, or have they followed Victor’s, embracing their ambition above their creation’s well-being?"

The first in our series A Time Of Monsters, from

The Trump admin now says nursing isn't a professional degree.

The admin plan to redefine what constitutes a professional degree to exclude nursing and limit access to student loans — outraging national health care groups and leaving nursing students questioning how they'll pay for graduate degrees.

Working people have been left behind in New York. In the wealthiest city in the world, one in five can't afford $2.90 for the train or bus. As I told Trump today— it’s time to put those people right back at the heart of our politics.
