Very proud to get this very small credit line #TheGildedAge
Dressmaking and fashion can be a radical, as well as a pleasurable activity, like it was for Rosa Parks. Check out my Black History Month #CommonThreads column for @satevepost.bsky.social on the dress that she made 🗃️

The pattern was designed by a Minneapolis yarn store. All sales are going to local immigrant aid organizations. They've raised over $125,000 (!!!) since the knitting pattern was posted a few days ago.

I can’t participate #HATM tonight but I will just say to Jason’s question my favorite Bond is Connery, partly because he is the best dressed Bond. The tux is important to building the character no less than the props. Here is something I wrote about it: www.saturdayeveningpost.com/2025/06/comm...

I remained convinced that the reason people are still reluctant to call what we see fascism is because we can only visually recognize it in black and white. I hope these kind of juxtapositions would help.

Another woman politician is choosing to wear white to her inauguration. I’m sure the suffragists would approve.
I am honored to serve as the 75th Governor of Virginia.
It is with a profound sense of duty to all Virginians that I assume the Governorship and pledge myself to work tirelessly on behalf of our Commonwealth — our home.

While my book focused on the left, I think there is a lot to say about the development and history of conservative fashion, especially in this moment (and it has a long history). Thank you for @huffpost.com for the opportunity to chime in www.huffpost.com/entry/maga-c...
