Huge congrats to Cannupa Hanska Luger, winner of the PEN/Jean Stein Book Award for the brilliant SURVIVA at tonight’s #PENLitAwards 🙌🎉 #FutureAncestralTechnologies @ayinpress.bsky.social

really can't be said enough that this case was decided by the same court that decided plessy v. ferguson. if they could have found a plausible rationale to limit birthright citizenship they would have done it. but there is none! the text is as clear as constitutional language can be.

Our founders, though deeply flawed, understood that democracy requires an informed citizenry and a government accountable to it people. That’s why the press is the only profession protected by the Constitution. It’s also why autocrats and oligarchs seek to control and destroy it.

Truly the heroes we need during these times.

Shoot this right into my veins.

I started this thread because some folks had suggested that Historians could do their research using LLMs, and anyone who disagreed was ignorant. I wanted some stories that illustrated why that's not true. The results exceeded my expectations. Most of the replies are in the form of quote-skeets.

I want to uplift the women who were girls who were raped by Epstein & Maxwell & Trump & ex-Prince Andrew & abandoned by everyone who's been scrambling lately to say that they didn't know of course they didn't know but they did know & some of them knew because they'd done it too.

Blogpost excerpt from curator at Fitzwilliam Museum saying she had reconnected with Catherine O’Neill “a brilliant and much loved English teacher at St Paul’s School Hammersmith.”

I had the same question!! Was annoyed enough at omission to go digging. She went on to become a teacher in London and is still alive. She should have been interviewed.

I did not know either about Redford's polio episode or his involvement in making this film about the Salk Institute. #PublicHealth is embedded in all our lives.

Grangerizing or “extra-illustrating” a book was a passion of bibliophiles and collectors in England in late 18c and 19c. ✨

Just read (+ blurbed) the galleys of this book! It's 🌟🎉🪴🔥💕!!

Such a ✨ mix of protocol + improvisation. Can't wait to see this out in the 🌏

FYI if you're in LA this fall into next spring, two art spaces—MOCA & The Brick—will be hosting a show built around decommissioned Confederate monuments & contemporary artists' responses to them. Co-curated by Hamza Walker & Kara Walker. I think it'll be fascinating & timely the-brick.org/monuments

What a great thread!

I never thought to see something like this in my lifetime, what a profound joy
