The correct way to connect the authoritarian presence in LA and the Big Beautiful Bill is that the bill gives the government the resources to do this in dozens of cities at once. So if you don't like what's happening in LA, it's coming to your town if the bill passes.

The process of managing a small museum is the process of realizing that anything you're grappling with is something a peer institution surely has to have dealt with before... And then being unable to find that specific peer so you have to figure it all out again anyway.

A federal provision has been added into the NDAA that would pull certain healthcare from transgender servicemembers' families.

Kind of a vulnerable confession, but I think one thing I love about collecting books for my home library is that they’re really the only things that are just mine. My family isn’t interested in them, nobody touches them. They stay where I put them. I can’t say that about anything else, really.
