A book cover with a poster at center showing a woman in a purple skirt, orange top, and black boots waving to a distant crowd, opposite a taller looming woman in white. At bottom is the book title, Circulating Subjects, in black and at top is the author's name, Philippa Hetherington, in orange type.
An incredible cover has landed for an incredible book - Philippa Hetherington's "Circulating Subjects: Sex Work and Migration in Russia, 1885–1935."

It’s always gratifying (and harrowing) to read @sarahkendzior.bsky.social. But I especially enjoy it when amidst the stark truths about our crisis she turns out passages like this:

Um, which baseball writer left Ichiro off their HOF ballot? It’s either shocking racism or “old school” stuffiness about first-year candidates that is disablingly myopic. Should lose their privilege to vote in the future.

Gemini has predictably blown up in everyones face. While I wish solidarity to the victims of this travesty, the mocking of AI and AI related products shall increase until moral improves.

Chart of smallpox vaccinations, from 240318 in 1810 to 1316854 in 1840
Continuation of chart through 1848 (938924 vaccinations)
Smallpox vaccinations in the Russian Empire, 1810-1848, per the Journal of Ministry of Internal Affairs, 1851. It's not clear why there's fluctuation from year to year, but the overall trend is obviously tremendously up in a way that shows how quickly it was understood as a godsend.
