Roses are red,
They look nice on a shrine
Here is the skull,
Of St. Valentine.
(Photo taken in Rome’s Chiesa di Santa Maria in Cosmedin of the relic of the 3rd Century martyr, a cleric who ministered to persecuted Christians and could apparently restore sight to the blind.)

Worn #onthisday in 1998 by Russian figure skater Ilia Kulik to win gold at the Olympics in Nagano, Japan. The Vancouver Sun reported: "Eyewitness descriptions of this travesty have ranged from 'skinny bumblebee' to 'crushed banana gone bad' to 'vinyl giraffe' to 'taxi cab running into a cow.'" #OTD

Someone told me lately "Bluesky is just like Twitter." I argued that was untrue on the basis that last time I had a Twitter account most times I got a new follower their bio said "single & looking for fun" & here when I get a new follower it tends to say something like "professor of rare moths".

I was a Mellon Fellow in an institution so un-woke that, in the 2000s, all the women in my department wore skirts to work lest an elderly trustee or donor take offense at the newfangled britches. I oversaw a collection of tapestries and snuffboxes.

Fuentes, yesterday: “Our #1 political enemy is women because women constrain everything, every conversation, every man, everything. They have to be imprisoned. They are the ones that are hurting the fertility rate. They're the ones making us sympathetic to poor people, which are also brown people.”

The bill could disenfranchise millions of eligible voters by requiring documents like passports or birth certificates to register to vote and forcing voter roll purges. The Senate must reject it.

Attempting to do the most base level academic history using primary sources on well documented subjects in a time period as recent as the 1980s will quickly dissuade you of the idea that everything is online.
A lot of people really don’t realize that there is a vast amount of information out there that is not online and plausibly never will be, or can’t be.
I think that's a point that will surprise a lot of people. There's a lot of calling the internet capable of accessing "the sum of all human knowledge" and such that I think gives people the impression that any and all records exist online somewhere.
