if you're reading this 50 years from now I need you to know that this series of world events isn't as dumb as it probably seems, it's actually much, much dumber than you can possibly imagine
Imagine having the concept for severance and then flawlessly executing it. It's messed up that there's someone who gets to experience that level of satisfaction
A round portrait of Septimius Severus and his family, showing Septimius' dark skin clearly. The Severan Tondo, c. 199, Severus, Julia Domna, Caracalla and Geta, whose face is erased (Antikensammlung Berlin).
Today's #AncientDEI on #AncientBluesky is Roman Emperor Septimius Severus. He was a Black man born in what is now Libya, and climbed the political ladder in the customary way under the steady hand of Marcus Aurelius.
A woman in a combination of ancient Greek and North African garb tied to a stake or rock. Detail of Andromeda on a 340 B.C. vase at the MArTA in Taranto, red-figure style with white accents.
Today's #AncientDEI on #AncientBluesky is Andromeda, princess of Ethiopia. Her mother bragged she was more beautiful than a goddess, and the Greek gods couldn't be having that.

Paused work to see if I had any vintage cats for @catsofyore.bsky.social lying around. Not too old, but here’s a pile of late 90s tabbies sprawled next to an IBM customer engineer’s tools.

We are about to enter an era of extreme and dangerous culture war in the United States. How do we protect our communities and work toward a cultural ceasefire? In this piece I wrote a couple months ago, I offer one possible path. wapo.st/40q1BDn
As a big fan of 90's-'00s cyberpunk, I realized that one of the biggest differences between those capitalist dystopias and the one we're now living in is that we expected a whole lot more resistance and lower class solidarity.
Post from user 'bald ann dowd' reads, "democracy dies in honestly a pretty well-lit room."
This hits hard.
We will shitpost our way through this
this is an opportunity for LinkedIn to a) introduce video and b) become deranged
I'm hoping to get my hands on some nonsense-cancelling headphones by noon tomorrow.
When motorcyclists pass each other on the road they do a special wave to acknowledge each other. I want something like that for when you see another masked person in a public place - a little masking solidarity wave.
Literally my brain.
I read this out loud to spouse and Randi answered because I said “cat.”
Actually this IS my circus but I have no idea whose monkeys those are so needless to say I’m concerned
Battle cry for 2025.
