I just watched this week’s episode S1E10 of THE PITT, and it did not go the way I expected. This show is so damn good.

This looks like lots of goofy fun! Out in paperback in 2 months. Check it out!!
Two months.

TWO MONTHS.

My lifelong dream project comes out May 6th. Two months from TODAY.

Every month I try to give a reason I think people should pre-order it/buy it, and this month it's because this was a book made with sheer joy and I think it shows on the page. (1/2 )

I just just called both Senator Warner and Senator Kaine via the app to urge them to vote against the confirmation of RFKjr. It’s very easy to do. You can use their script or not. I also subscribed to the 5 Calls Newsletter. We have to make our voices heard!

How do we mute #hashtags and words on here? I poked around a bit but didn’t find it.

I’m glad I watched #Section31 last night since someone is posting details about the movie this morning.

TIL that some Star Trek comics are available on KindleUnlimited 🖖🏼
In case you’re interested.

Friends, if you take in a stray animal, PLEASE have it scanned for a chip. This is the third time in a week that someone has come into the shelter with an animal that was 'theirs' that was actually chipped and registered to someone else who had been desperately missing that animal for YEARS.

Do you have people in your inner circle who are pinching every penny and can’t handle another monthly bill, even a smallish one? Do you have some means?

Ask if you can put their renter’s insurance on your card to make sure it’s always paid up.

Like $15/month to make sure a friend has a safety net

Renters insurance generally covers your stuff. When our airbnb was burgled in Costa Rica on vacation, my renters covered my stuff, money stolen, a broken phone screen and even car keys/reprogramming.

Genuinely worth it, and I am skeptical of the insurance industry at large.

What’s that saying? “Start as you mean to go forward” or something like that. So. I’m starting (again)!

Lucy likes the new tree skirt. As expected, she was on it 15 seconds after it went down.

#Oathbreakers is "historical writing at its finest." -
@chicagorevbooks.bsky.social. A top-10 new release in history from Amazon Books.

It's got swords, sex, witchcraft, demons, betrayals, one irritating dude named Bernard, and the fate of Charlemagne's empire hanging in the balance. Out today!

Doing historical research isn’t just an intellectual enterprise; it’s emotional and embodied.

I legit almost threw up earlier this morning while researching etymology related to the year 1712.

If you’re a historian and/or do archival research, how do you handle the SHOCK of revelation?
