A steel riveted dental phantom, attached to an even older microscope base, sits on a white shelf. A small glass beetle aormament rests on the base. To the right of the phantom, a figure of Melania, Blade of Miquella, draws her sword.

I recorded an episode of My Bookshelf Slays with @mwestemeier.bsky.social this afternoon. I was asked what the weirdest object in my office is, so I got to show off my 1940s dental phantom.

So pro-life means jailing women who miscarry but shrugging when the deranged president says “a whole civilization will die tonight.” Do I have that right?

If I were in Trump's Cabinet, I would spend Easter calling constitutional lawyers about the 25th Amendment.

This is completely, utterly unhinged. He's already killed thousands. He's going to kill thousands more.

Iconic Andy Singer cartoon with a driver saying “Public Transit wastes money. It always has to be SUBSIDIZED!” He is surrounded by evidence that driving is heavily subsidized. In fact, investing in walking, biking, public transit, and housing for the otherwise homeless saves public money.

One of the biggest disinformation campaigns ever applied to cities involves the constant claims that “driving pays its way.” It’s actually MASSIVELY subsidized, while things like walking, biking, public transit & supportive housing for the unhoused actually SAVE PUBLIC MONEY. #UrbanTruth
