I guess I now have to do a thread on shoes in ancient Mesopotamia in response to this (which happens to be from one of my favourite accounts).
I’m not an archaeologist, nor do I really know anything about shoes, but let’s go on this journey together.

Again, ostracise him, his family and his party.
Ignore them. Shun them. Boycott them.
If he wants a society where we do not lift a finger to help others, be they neighbour or stranger, then give it to him.
He's asking you to pick a side.
Do it.

Shocked by Epstein’s birthday book? That culture was everywhere before feminism | Rebecca Solnit
Feminism exposed the ubiquity of child abuse, rape, sexual harassment and domestic violence – and helped fight that culture

I've made this point multiple times before but if Bluesky wants to grow, the things they need aren't opinion pundits but accounts that publish new information. That's breaking news reporters, politicians and stuff like official organization accounts that publish official statements.

If anyone knows of any retail for sale or rent in Stoneybatter / Smithfield / Phibs please let us know! We’re always looking!
Closed today due to flooding!
I’m so tired.
So far it looks like the books are safe but there’s a lamp on that I definitely turned off (with it’s wire in the water) so I can’t go in to start cleanup until the landlord turns off the building power.
