Welcome to the American Winter In the frozen streets of Minneapolis, something profound is happening.

Good thoughts. Good reads.

Screenshot of a Philadelphia Inquirer Politics post stating, “The National Park Service has started dismantling exhibits about slavery at the President’s House in Independence National Historical Park.” The image shows several workers removing a mounted sign/exhibit panel from a stone wall outdoors.

Those who try to erase the past will never learn its lessons.

Amazing! Way to go Minneapolis!

Minneapolis is badass.

Yup.

Without the night shift, there is no morning. YouTube video by Zohran Mamdani for NYC

Without the night shift, there is no morning.

Zohran is so good at this.

😍 Boston, you are beautiful. #NoKings

#nokings why? Protests are as American as apple pie: this history professor reminds you we’re founded on protests.

It is indeed my birthday, so my present to my Executive Committee is to refer to resolution 200-05-1 by its official title here on my official account: “Defending Shared Governance in Texas.” And your present to me is to share this widely!

✨ Meet Izzy. At 16, he’s already a fierce advocate.

Living with autism, Medicaid gives him the care to thrive, go to school, and live his best life.

Families like Izzy’s shouldn’t have to fight for care, yet Trump’s cuts put kids at risk.

Eric Adams Abandons Re-election Bid for Mayor of New York City

Good news.

Just a reminder: we have the war powers act because of Nixon. Saying it’s unconstitutional now is, well, bizarre at best. Totalitarian at worst.

Happy Juneteenth, to those who celebrate.

Double Happy Juneteenth to those who don't.

Good morning. 🙂

As Me Made May closes, I ended it in a dress from Draper James fabric and a dupe of a Draper James dress (there’s a slight ruffle and folded edge on the bottom, and I included pockets. Maybe I’ll kick insomnia tonight, as you can tell I’m lacking sleep. #memademay #draperjames

Crocheted tank again, for Me Made May. Repeats should be expected. I did wear the wrong bra with it, but oh well. As I draft some of my epic summer sh!t I do. The tank in action, and Bourbon looking at me like a piece of meat, his lost marble, or…#crochet #memademay

Me Made May: my Calvin Warp Dress in a rayon and cotton blend. Favorite parts are the French seams & the reused strap sliders I painted with nail polish to match. A crocheted cotton shawlette for a gift: something I made as of recent. #memademay #handmade #slowfashion #crochet #calvinwrapdress

I remind you to refrain from distorting facts, promoting narratives of hate and dissidence in the name of honor created via fictional design, and to be a good human. The last part isn’t hard. Memorial Day: always about more than the BBQ and sales on furniture. #memorialday 3/3

Instead of giving mini tropes on the American Revolution, the US Civil War, the lessons from failure in Vietnam, the aftermath of collapse when the US (finally) retreats, and the power of geopolitical design to keep militaries engaged (falsely or truthfully), (2/3)

The nationalism scholar wants to discuss the power of national & communal memory, the economic power of defense, & the geopolitical place of presence. The patriot wants to acknowledge the actions of civil & military defense, the fight for national independence, & the protection of the Union. 1/3

Disinformation straight from the White House.

Yesterday’s Me Made May: up-cycled shirt of my Dad’s to an apron, a do rag with leftover silk from Romania, and pizza sauce. And a lupus rash for fun #lupus #memademay

No one experiencing the tragedy of a miscarriage should be arrested, much less abandoned in jail for 5 months with a $100k bond. But that’s exactly what happened to Mallori Patrice Strait in Texas. Women, particularly women of color, in this country are no longer allowed dignity even in extreme loss

Me Made May on a rainy day, post finals grading but not done as one school doesn’t end for three weeks. It’s the life. My Phen Shirt from Pattern Fantastique in the Valentino silk I picked up in Paris. I do enjoy the airy design and high-low hem. #phenshirt #memademay #handmade #valentino

Me Made May: athletes have leg day, Me Made gets bag day. My leather backpack purse I tote around a decent amount, my project bag with a pair of socks I’m working on in it, and my well worn cosmo bag I that holds groceries and dead dreams. #memademay #handmade #slowfashion

Hysterical left wing nutters at Cato at it again

Me Made. Scrap knit from a dress I made in 2021. My shirt: Plantain Tee, a free one from the old Deer and Doe. The sleeves are smaller, so I increased them two sizes. Before anyone freaks out: there’s one key for my door; it’s just old NYC. #memademay #deeranddoepatterns #plantaintee

It is. It’s on Rav. My name there is the same as here. Nycbookwriter.
