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.

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.

(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"
