a young 74, cancer notwithstanding
I’ve talked a lot about the various books that had an impact on me in childhood. Here’s one from my (early) adulthood: ANIMAL, VEGETABLE, MIRACLE by Barbara Kingsolver. I’ve spent years of my life pursuing a more just and sustainable food system and it’s not an exaggeration to say this book is Why.
performative reading, lack of reading skills, nobody's reading anymore -- NO!
tell me about a book that changed you
for me? the *extremely* ahistorical novel, THE AGONY AND THE ECSTASY which I read at 13 and was like, "Oh, art can be *everything* to a maker, for good and bad"

pre-writing a devastating obituary for your enemy is god-tier hating of a kind you don’t often see anymore. renaissance haterism. beautiful stuff.
A Sharon Begley byline, almost 5 years after her death.
Upon hearing the news James Watson had died, a STAT reporter said in our Slack, "I wish I could read what Sharon would have written."
Incredible news: Sharon in fact did pre-write a Watson obit. And it is masterful and excoriating.

if you are food insecure for both the humans and pets in your household there is a tool called Pet Help Finder that can help locate pet food banks nearby and other free or reduced price assistance and supplies for pets.
no one, ABSOLUTELY NO ONE, should have to give up their pet bc of this.

I have now played through again to the credits and can confirm that the revised ending is much better wrt Melinoe’s agency, not bumming me the fuck out on Persephone‘s behalf, generally hanging together and making sense like at all
OTOH I took the “reminiscence” thing to experience the allegedly improved ending and took me back uhhh a lot further than I thought. I thought it was going to just be cutscenes but you have to fully re-beat the game. as if this was my first clear

Link and Zagreus didn’t die the many, many times I’ve killed each of them for this kind of disrespect
the funniest thing in the world is that everyone loves size difference yaoi but significantly fewer people are willing to have actually short men in anything so tops just keep getting taller and taller as they try to outpace the already tall bottoms

Defense tells judge they want to question Lairmore about 'gag gifts' he received from fellow officers after the alleged assault, including a Subway sandwich plush toy and a patch that (unless I misheard) said 'Felony Footlong.'
Prosecutors object. Defense argues they reflect CBP 'state of mind.'

Border Patrol agent Lairmore testifies that he was not injured by the sandwich, but he felt the impact through his ballistic vest.
The sandwich came apart and "kind of exploded" on his chest upon impact, he says.
"I could smell the onions and mustard."

Big day at U.S. District Court in D.C. where Sean Dunn, the D.C. Sandwich Guy, is on trial for misdemeanor assault of a federal officer.
Border Patrol agent Gregory Lairmore is on the stand narrating surveillance video of the sammie toss.
'Now he’s struck me with the sandwich,' Lairmore says.

Of course, this is precisely why we expect law enforcement to wear badges and uniforms and show identification. Anyone could have foreseen (and many of us did) that this would be a serious side-effect of ICE's insistence on behaving like unaccountable thugs.
New: The FBI is quietly urging ICE agents to properly ID themselves in the field.
In a bulletin to law enforcement last month, it warned of criminals posing as ICE to rob, rape, kidnap—a problem it says now demands national coordination to confront.
