Also, a friendly reminder that millions of Americans don't have passports because:
1) they can't afford the time and processing charges to get one, OR
2) they don't like travelling and have simply never needed one, OR
3) the current government refuses to issue them one (yours truly).

I’m seeing posts from people (outside of MN) about how US citizens should carry their passports.
And let me say that *inside* MN, we are calmly responding to requests with: “No, I don’t have to show you any documentation.”
Because that’s how you protect everyone, regardless of immigration status.

we often talk about “what anime would you adapt into a movie” but here is a reverse: what movies would you adapt into an anime?

Probably a bunch of bickering over how appropriative of one another Judaism and Christianity are, plus a lot of handwringing over the sudden proliferation of "Аляска наша!" hats.
(On top of all the usual stupid trans discourse, of course.)

Как можно охарактеризовать жанр, в котором пишет достоевский? —детектив
но детектив очень странного толка там с первой страницы понятно, кто убийца, но дальше они ищут не убийцу, а бога

The regime's prohibitions on discussing “race or gender ideology, or topics related to sexual orientation or gender identity” have at last shut up that notorious wokescold... Plato.
The works of Plato are now being banned at schools in the United States.
Tell me again how censorship is a European problem? 🤔

For Epiphany, this glorious 1966 illustration of the Three Kings by the great Eyvind Earle (1916 - 2000), best remembered for his enormous contribution to Disney Animation's visual style during the 1950s, particularly Sleeping Beauty (1959).

Спасибо to the team at My Galvanized Friend, who have included my сказка (Russian fairy tale), "The Golden Fish", in their new issue dedicated to 'centering joy'. (That's certainly something all of us will need this year.)

Хотя очерк центрирован в переживаниях южноазиатских диаспор, нахожу многое в нем, которое близки мне как лесбиянская русско-американка.
Today, I wish to discuss how the difficult questions of third world feminism are elided and obscured by Western feminists---both white and not---and kindly ask feminists all over the world to grow a fucking pair.
