These are our colleagues, humanities friends. The needless cruelty of it all.
Staff who are being terminated from the National Endowment for the Humanities this coming week received their last full paycheck this weekend.
A reminder that appropriations for full staff salaries were made through September 30, 2025. Terminating us now was never necessary, just cruel. #NEH

kind of just endlessly sad and grieving that there are so few voices in the public sphere making the basic principled argument that immigration is an affirmative good in every way and the best way for this country to serve humanity is to welcome people who want or need to leave their homes

is it time to bust out my "bigfoot is bears" photo collection again? if your mental image of a bear is a thick-furred, fat glossy male bear in autumn, you're probably not prepared for how weird their proportions can look in spring, or when walking upright, like they frequently do.

So, as you might know, I have been in the process of tracking the activities of DOGE staff across the federal government. And now I've built an auto-updating website to browse the data
It's not done (lots more content to write), but news is moving fast, so here it is dogetrack.info

House GOP is holding a hearing on their tax bill at 1:00 AM because they don't want us to know about their scheme to strip 13.7 million people of health coverage & they think no one will stay awake for it.
