@dieworkwear.bsky.social I don't know if you've seen this photo (from The Independent), showing the investigative team for the Louvre jewelry heist. Many of my friends are swooning over the style of the detective on the right and are clamoring for your analysis.

With Tom Lehrer's passing, I suppose this is a moment to share the story of the prank he played on the National Security Agency, and how it went undiscovered for nearly 60 years.

I'm home making protest art while so many folks I know are marching. I don't know if the art or the marching will bring change, but we do what we must.

Middle class people who have never been poor have no idea how much of a psychological advantage it is to just be able to throw money at small problems to make them go away. Those things build and overwhelm.

This iris was drawn from a photo. It is a miniature dwarf beaded iris, hybridized by David Sindt. He named it "Gay Sunshine," which was also the name of a Berkeley queer rights newspaper. I look forward to telling you more :yellow_heart::purple_heart::white_heart:

@rodkam.bsky.social surely knew he was providing us armor when he gave my class Calvino and Orwell to read & emulate, all those years ago. Unfortunately timeless and timely lessons, but I have been taking real solace in tending my garden, and knowing Orwell tended his, even as circumstances worsen.

Speaking of shut the fuck up Friday, I’ve been seeing some people say that the FBI has contacted them for questioning after seeing social media posts, and my extremely urgent advice is that you should under NO CIRCUMSTANCES talk to the Feds without a lawyer.

My new hobby is looking for furniture on CL, and sometimes I search "Wooden Duck" (for non-Bay Areans, that is a defunct store that had cool stuff). Last night I found this and it was the unhinged laughfest that I needed at that moment -- "very solid duck" is now in the household lexicon:

Dear @heathersabrina.bsky.social has been counting us down to the solstice in fine fashion, a true dark season treat 🖤
Can it be? Four days? Less than a work week until the day begins creeping in on its hot little paws to steal secondsminutes h o u r s from your favorite, the night. Although it seems painful, it does not hurt the night, and much like a bear going in to winter hibernation the night will shrink

I had no idea Lehrer came out of retirement for one night in 1998. Imagine not performing for 25 years and still being this locked in.
Still in a mellow mood after finishing "Dear Hugo", so I was delighted when YouTube's algorithm guessed right and pointed me to a Tom Lehrer gem I'd not seen before.
