Thanks, guy who physically shoulder-checked me on the platform this morning, so he could get on the train ahead of me. This isn't the 1st time, either. I've switched trains b/c of this bully in the past, & great to see I'll have to change again... @SW_Help @swtrains_watch
Penelope exhibition at the Forum this morning...love a good warp-weighted loom.

At @the_bsr, working on a talk about Procne & Thereus, and this guy lands on the lawn by my window -- depending on the translation, Thereus was turned into one of these #birds.

Still not planned your IMC 2025 paper? Why not send us your proposal?

My mission began 47 years ago today when I joined my twin on our journey to the stars! 🚀
This past year has certainly been an eventful one. Makes you appreciate every day. Thanks to my team (and all of you) for not giving up on me! -V1

furthermore, the words "shuttle" (as in space shuttle) and "rocket" originate from weaving and spinning words!

submit your monograph draft to the publisher, spend the rest of the day with #cats at the Torre Argentina (and walk home in the same storm that knocked a chunk off the Arch of Constantine this afternoon).

It doesn't get anymore dangerous than a convicted felon who promises to be a dictator. Trump has shown over and over again the threat he represents to our democracy.

You might not have time to read PROJECT 2025-the 900+ page document tRUMP claimed "I know nothing about" while adding "I wish them luck". But surely you have 4 minutes to watch a preview of the apocalyptic horrors to come if he gets a 2nd term.
WATCH THIS & SPREAD THE WORD!!!

There’s a reason Trump is trying to distance himself from Project 2025. It’s because he knows damn well that once people find out what’s in it, they get very, very upset.
And that means we have to tell everyone. Every single day.
And tie it directly to him.
Because it IS him.
118,290 words -- that's enough for my book draft, I think. Calling it a day. The cat outside my window who's been judging me all day agrees.
