Honestly… it would. I used to joke that I knew more about Charles II’s mistresses than his foreign policy… but I actually just learned foreign policy through his mistresses.
It’s AMAZING

I second this.

yes! it looks like the BL 19th Century is down rn. <sigh> Thanks for checking for me!
I need something c. 19th century that my ECCO access doesn't reach to. I can see via WorldCat that "historical texts" has it...
Anyone have access to Historical Texts database and could look up something for me?

Unacceptable. @cignahealthcare.bsky.social
Wtf Cigna. Cancer patients are your patients—where is the care they deserve?

Sold some eggs to our neighbor yesterday & am thinking we should upcharge for folks who voted for this nonsense 👀
Fascinating!
4) Do not normalize proving your citizenship status on demand. You are not required to do that. Refuse. White American citizens are safest in refusing because they're the hardest to fuck with and they should use it.
Folks are about to get a hard lesson in food sovereignty. If you don’t have control over your food sources, they can make you do anything.
I don’t have a tidy answer, but I wanted to say this so it has been said, at least somewhere. These photos should go home to their tribes. These images of ancestors are sacred.
Confrontation runs the risk of violence, or of driving these kinds of materials underground, which further entrenches their status as fetishized objects & keeps them from the tribes. Could our professional orgs make a path for confronting this atrocity? 6/
