I am rightfully proud and impressed that @afertig.bsky.social made it to all 21 Boston Independent Bookstore Crawl stores in ONE DAY. Especially since E and I did four with him, and chauffeured for four others, and he did ALL 12 of the rest on his own, mostly by public transit! H/T @mbta.com
For #IndependentBookstoreDay, I’ve got my Metro #Boston Indie Bookstore Crawl Passport!!!

I am going to ATTEMPT to go to all 21 stores on the passport TODAY. (While also juggling other logistics, e.g. gotta take kiddo to swim lesson.) Not sure I’ll be able to get to all of them, but I’m gonna try!

This new prize we added to the Goldsmith Awards last year is TIMELY, ya know?
Congrats to @postopinions.bsky.social for winning our inaugural Goldsmith Prize for Explanatory Reporting! The writers of their “Who Is Government?” series highlighted the value of government work & the dedicated civil servants that are rarely written about or celebrated: loom.ly/Z1lD6Mw

Reading through roughly chronological, limited context posts about the Super Bowl (without having watched) feels like 2025. Strong reactions to fast moving things that make no sense.

I’ve been having bad dreams about the rising fascism in the United States. Am I the only one?

My guess is not. I want to gather together what’s going on in our unconscious about ~these times~ because I think it will make us feel less alone. That’s why I started this:

Even though our captain described it as "a bit of a mess of planes on the ground right now," I have to be impressed by how many people are clearly working hard to make Logan airport functional in the snowstorm tonight!

Students should study the humanities not because it makes them better workers but because it rips you open and breaks your brain and changes everything you thought you knew. I *promise* you this. I *promise* it has this ability, no matter how smart you think you are. I have seen it countless times.
Hearing the president of KU say that the way the humanities can protect itself - a question asked by a humanities professor of Spanish - is that her field should direct its public voice to how the Spanish language can impact AI versus the third study of an obscure play…. Just sigh.

@propublica.org coming in with the essential hard hitting Thanksgiving content
1. This Thanksgiving, you and your family can all agree on one thing: salmonella is gross.

They’re resilient little germs that can survive hours to days on surfaces, and they can’t be killed by drying or freezing. Here’s how to keep them away 🧵

Buffalo brussels sprouts as a Thanksgiving side - yah or nay? The spice could cut the other flavors nicely?

Am I a person who posts horse content on BlueSky? Possibly.

The shift here from the bird app feels like that moment between high school and college when you could reinvent everything about yourself.
