Amazon is among the corporations that made donations to Trump's Czarist Russia-themed imperial ballroom 🤢

Lots of classic funny Roz Chast, as well as many insightful observations about the indignities of aging and the stress, dread, and guilt of family watching their elders decline. Highly recommended to anyone dealing with end-of-life stuff and who wants to feel less alone 💓

Anyone who has been involved in elder care will relate to this book... the drawer of just lids, duplicates of expired stuff, hoards of receipts... Chast humanizes her parents in their later years but keeps her sense of humour about the challenges of dealing with less 'with it' versions of them

I felt like I knew Satrapi and her family and something about the Iranian revolution by the end of it. I find myself re-reading it sometimes as it's such a classic. Persepolis has inspired so many memoirs that help us humanize others, especially immigrants, migrants, and refugees. 💓

Satrapi is a fantastic storyteller. Her memoir about growing up in revolutionary Iran is honest, funny, tragic, and totally unique. This is the book that got me hooked on graphic novels. 💓

This will make those Praxis bros insanely jealous!!

Interesting! The New Capital ...TNC? 👀

I think Ecuador was burned so badly by Yachay that as a country they will reject any similar ideas for many years to come

Scandalous that this is happening at a time of high quality satellite monitoring @mark-carney.bsky.social @stand.earth

Yeah - Unity, the sister who moved to Germany to stalk and befriend Hitler was a real piece of work! She tried unsuccessfully to commit suicide after the UK declared war on Germany: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unity_M...

She brings to life a bunch of true weird incidents and life events of these sisters in a really entertaining way. So although it is hand drawn, the characters and events depicted are all real

These attempts to learn from vernacular urbanism and architecture are really exciting! I hope locals will accept living in denser places

Mimi Pond tells their often scandalous stories in an honest but hilarious way and in a style inspired by the graphic arts of the time. It's a super ambitious book and a master class on how to visually explore the lives of historical people.

The Mitford Sisters' lives went in all sorts of directions: Nancy became a writer, Pamela was a socialite who ran off with her horsewoman, Diana married the head of the British Union of Fascists, Unity moved to Germany and befriended Hitler, Jessica became a Communist, Deborah became a duchess.

Putting them all in one place doesn't actually sound that bad 😆

Super interesting... a very odd trend, particularly in the context of a Trump presidency 😵‍💫
