With the response to Booker's filibuster and the MASSIVE nationwide protests yesterday it is clear Senate Dems need to do more. @warren.senate.gov and @edmarkey.bsky.social need to start denying unanimous consent to Senate business. If Schumer asks you not to, well, you don't work for him.

This started me down a rabbit hole that has now arrived at Mary Halvorson playing John Zorn, and that's pretty alright for today.

If you won’t unequivocally call it a Nazi salute, you’re a collaborationist and don’t deserve to be a journalist.

Explain your username:
A friend in college thought to combine my first and last names, and it's stuck, though more as an online handle than a nickname.

Debate rages over whether the first "I" is short or long. I've always pronounced it as a long "I", but you're not wrong if you go the other way.
Explain your username:

(The trick is you have to pronounce the και like modern Greek so it can also sound like the nickname I went by in my best online era: the aol teen buffy message board era)

Theoretical academic paper with an extremely niche audience, all of whom I'd want to be friends with:

Music as Midrash: From Debbie Friedman to @themountaingoats.bsky.social's "The Life of the World To Come"

Should I go back to grad school just to give myself an excuse to write this? Y/N
