Hild is one of my all-time favorite books and characters.
OTD in 680 CE Hild of Whitby died. Ever year I celebrate. This year by a) showing off my fabulous, specially commissioned snakestone cast in silver to wear as a lapel pin, silver jacket pin cast in silver, and her death
b) my imagined version of her grave marker

Celebrating Hild
On this day in 680 CE Hild of Whitby, patron saint of learning and culture (including poetry) died. I mark her feast day because she marked my life, and my writing, indelibly.

Rudy Bridges is younger than the Sitting President of the United States and 29 sitting United States Senators
It’s useful for people of my generation to be reminded that this wasn’t that long ago. Ruby Bridges isn’t just still alive—she’s only 71, not ancient!
65 years ago on Nov. 14, little Ruby Bridges was escorted into an all-white elementary school in New Orleans. Norman Rockwell, renowned for blissful depictions of Americana, did this remarkable painting for Look magazine. Printed as a double page, over-size spread, it's his masterpiece.

I really enjoyed reading this in a week where the NYT published Ross Douthat's ponderous sludge of an interview headlined "How Women Ruined the Workplace"
A recent essay, “The Great Feminization,” posits that the growing influence of women is harming U.S. institutions. Sophie Gilbert argues that the real problem facing American culture is quite different: https://theatln.tc/kUfY14fc

I've gone from not shopping at Target since January to not shopping at Target ever again. This is gross.
There is something really wrong with people who need workers to be not just competent, but slavishly fake-happy. "Slavishly" used on purpose, bc that's where this grotesquerie comes from.
"Store employees are now required to smile if they are within 10 feet of a shopper.
They also must make eye contact with and wave to or greet the customer.
If they’re within four feet, the employee should ask how the customer’s day is going or if they need help."
🙄 Won't stop the boycott, y'all.

as a thought exercise for everyone reading ross douthat's latest missive in the NYT, i want you to think about sending an email to your entire company with the subject line "Did Women Ruin the Workplace?", then think about the over/under on the number of minutes/hours you would still be employed

NY, NJ and VA are getting the headlines tonight, but Georgia's pushback against spiraling utility rates driven by resource-greedy data centers is significant.
BREAKING: Democrats Alicia Johnson and Peter Hubbard dealt the GOP a significant blow Tuesday night, prying statewide seats away from Republican incumbents on the powerful Georgia Public Service Commission.

So, I'm three hops from Donald Trump, are the Feds going to firebomb my house now?
stephen king can take out most of new england in three hops.
I mean I think doing extrajudicial murder at ZERO hops is still unacceptable, but three is unhinged

I’m still pissed - and gutted.
The donor list for Trump’s White House ballroom felt overwhelming — like how do we even begin to protest this?
So I broke it down into small, doable actions. If you’re upset too, here’s how you can push back — even in 5-10 min chunks.

the president has destroyed the east wing of the white house without so much as a word of input from anyone else to build a royal ballroom paid for with bribes
NEW: After The Washington Post reported Monday on the demolition of the "East Wing facade," a new picture obtained by Law Dork that was taken on Tuesday shows that a substantial portion of the entirety of the East Wing has been demolished.

Rand Paul: "When you kill someone, if you're not in a declared war, you really need to know someone's name at least. You have to accuse them of something. You have to present evidence. So all of these people have been blown up without any evidence of a crime."

very funny that JD Vance has so little to do with his time that he goes on podcasts to defend 30-year-old men for saying how much they love Hitler
JD Vance dismisses Young Republicans who in a group chat said "I love Hitler" and joked about slavery and rape as "a bunch of kids" who "told stupid jokes" and adds that "most of the stupid things I did when I was a teenager and young adult, they're not on the internet."

Trump thinks he's a king and Republicans refuse to negotiate.
That’s why we’re 5 days away from a Republican government shutdown.
Democrats are ready to pass a bill to prevent this. But Republicans would rather increase your health care costs, than do their jobs.

America First was a big fat lie. Here in Georgia, rural hospitals are eliminating maternity care, grocery prices are up and the Hyundai plant is idle since the trainers working there were deported. So let's drop $20 billion to meddle in Argentina's election
No money for veterans or the homeless or hungry children, but plenty of money for Argentina’s unpopular leaders.
Be sure to let everyone know that Donald Trump wants to use $20B in your taxpayer dollars to bail out a foreign country and help their leader win an election.
