Found the tweet that Joyce Carol Oates bodied Elon Musk with and it's so beautiful in its eloquent, simple take down. So much so he's crashing out trying to prove he reads books now. Put this in the Louvre.
Screenshot of a tweet from Joyce Carol Oates posted on Sunday, November 9th that reads "so curious that such a wealthy man never posts anything that indicates that he enjoys or is even aware of what virtually everyone appreciates--scenes from nature, pet dog or cat, praise for a movie, music, a book (but doubt that he reads); pride in a friend's or relative's accomplishment; condolences for someone who has died; pleasure in sports, acclaim for a favorite team; references to history. in fact he seems totally uneducated, uncultured. the poorest persons on Twitter may have access to more beauty & meaning in life than the "most wealthy person in the world."

The "best" food is hard to say but the city that surprised me most was Portland, OR. Everyone told me Portland had good food and I was like..."um ok my parents live in NYC so I'm picky". But yeah, they have good food. Toronto also has great food.

And I've been doing politics for long enough to know clearly that the entire Senate Democratic caucus agreed to this decision to fold. Open your eyes. The 8 who "broke" did so with the complete blessing of Schumer and their colleagues. You don't have to play along because this is not a game. The end

Here, something cool to think about! I included Bad Indians Book Club on a store thread, which lead to a connection with the author, which lead to her appearing at our book club on Saturday!

Surprised, but thrilled actually. Marriage equality is safe for now.

I only just realized you can set a duration for how long to mute a word or phrase on here! Very cool. I might actually use it now.

Two-thirds of Democrats say their own party makes them feel frustrated. By far the most commonly cited reason is that the party is not pushing back hard enough against Trump. www.pewresearch.org/politics/202...

Today was insect day at my drawing workshop at the museum 🦋🐡
Photograph across some insect display cases at a museum. An open sketchbook lies on one of the flat cases with a couple of markers lying next to it. There's a marker drawing of Acherontia atropos (African death's-head hawkmoth) on it in naturalistic colours. The reference for that drawing is mounted in the upright display case above it. #SciArt

The history of astrophotography is absurdly fascinating. This is a picture from the Orion Nebula taken in 1883 by Andrew Common.
A black and white picture of the Orion Nebula, it's grainy but surprisingly detailed. It shows not only the general shapes, but the more granular differences in light.
