if we are all reintroducing ourselves: I’m Miles, I’m doing my PhD on rhetoric and nonnormative embodiment (disability, neurodivergence, animality) in late medieval literature, and I am very much into werewolves and shapeshifting and premodern trans studies. Also Muldumarec the birdman’s no. 1 fan

Oh, I love this. A new species of sea anemone was discovered recently that parks itself on top of a hermit crab shell like a hat. It seems to feed partly off the crab's faeces, but it also excretes a hard shell that extends the crab's home. In return, it's carried around the seafloor like a king.

I have a pair of handmade plushies available - original Star Trek Spock and Kirk.
These were commissioned in March and the customer has since ghosted me, so I'm finally trying to sell them on. I guess my fault for trusting people to pay after production.

Wow: Per Hamdi's legal team, his only charge was a visa overstay — after Trump revoked his visa.
Despite DHS tweeting that Hamdi supported terrorism, they never charged him with any criminality.
In other words: Trump revoked a journalist's visa, so agents could arrest him for overstaying his visa.

NEW: British journalist Sami Hamdi is being released from US detention.
Trump administration agents detained him two weeks ago at the San Francisco airport — hours after he addressed an event, where he urged US leaders to take an “America First” approach rather than “Israel First.”

In unexpected, kinda terrifying life turns—I’m trying to get a small leather goods store off the ground this holiday season. Please consider checking it out! Thus far: keychains, valet trays, bag charms, a few custom wallets and notebook covers.

they reopened the government for a promise to do this over again in a month
UPDATE: The Senate votes 53-47 to shoot down the Baldwin amendment to extend ACA funds for 1 year. A party-line vote with every Republican rejecting it.
An important vote in this series: Tammy Baldwin’s proposal to extend ACA expiring funds for 1 year. It’s structured as a motion to table (i.e. scrap it from the amendment tree). But it’ll show the appetite (or lack thereof) in the Senate to address this issue.

When it shifts into the time of year that is Nutcracker season, I get the urge to pull out the ol' pointe shoes and play the game "can I still do this without injuring myself in some way?" And the answer? NO.

My fellow trans people who write theory and articles, I am going to say this with love, but also bluntly. You need to cite your sources properly and in your theory books include a works cited/bibliography. It doesn't "make it less accessible for the average reader"-

I am expecting a book in the mail today. My neighbor knocks on my door with a book for me that got delivered to their mailbox on accident. I open it, expecting the book that is out for delivery today. But! It is another book, which the press hadn't even told me had shipped yet! Fascinating

If you’re in NY, you absolutely should follow and join the efforts of the @nywfp.bsky.social. They are ACTIVE and ON THE BALL and a big part (along with many other parts) of how Mamdani won.
This is a good time to join the WFP @workingfamilies.org I'm a broken record and if they ain't going to learn they need to learn by us not cooperating with their party anymore and building a political force that is so big that can hold different tenants but still have values.

Really enjoyed chatting with @kellyfaircloth.bsky.social about all things dirtbag medievalism, and delighted that the article is out now at Nat Geo: www.nationalgeographic.com/history/arti...
Why are we so obsessed with the medieval right now?
From burning castles to swords and magic and velvet gowns, medievalism has taken over 21st century pop culture.
