Heart broken for many reasons. But there REALLY REALLY should be archaeologist on site of the destruction when digging and potentially destroying valuable historical artifacts (I know they don’t care, clearly) but further future harm above & beyond harm above ground. More broken laws forthcoming. 😞

2025 feels like that late-stage game of monopoly where you just go round and round paying rent and utilities forever and nobody knows what the rules are anymore and everyone’s just waiting for it all to end except the one player who cheated and has all the money

Makes me think of some birdwatching advice I once got: If it's a bird? It's a crow. If it's a beak with a bird attached? It's a raven.

What an amazing document: a four-volume journal/sketchbook/scrapbook kept by Jacques Gogois, a French child in Amiens, during the First World War.
The first volume begins in 1914, when Jacques is seven years old.

Shoutout to @bookshopghost.bsky.social for the best abebooks order I’ve ever had - those books were exactly as described & there was no way a dropped box was going to result in banged up corners! The graphic design book is beautiful & you’re going to be on my regular bookstore rotation from now on!

"the president defied a Supreme Court ruling to return a man mistakenly sent to a gulag... and spoke of sending Americans to foreign concentration camps.
