It's been 65 days since Donald Trump invaded a sovereign state, abducted its leader, and declared the US will "run" the state indefinitely
It's been 9 days since Trump launched a war (his word) against Iran without congressional approval
No House member has filed articles of impeachment for either

My wife says I like The Pitt because "where else do you see competent people in positions of authority trying to help?"
since The Atlantic is apparently reviving the "a was a feminine gay child, but if I was a kid today they would have 'transed' me" trope, here's an essay I wrote back in 2020 explaining why this is not true & there is no evidence to support it: juliaserano.medium.com/transgender-...

Poem by Fanny Howe 'I won't be able to write from the grave'
This is essentially one extended sentence. After the colon it opens into a list, an inventory of affection that feels spiritual in tone
It directly contradicts the Romantic idea of poetic immortality
I also love short northern nights, when darkness never fully settles

I have seen a lot of cursed stuff in my time in academia but this is among the *most* cursed.
Grammarly is generating miniature LLMs based on academic work so that users can have their writing ‘reviewed’ by experts like David Abulafia, who died less than two months ago.
“The sentence is a unit of sense, but the line is a unit of attention”
-Marianne Boruch, “Line and Room”
Black and white photo of Marjane Satrapi with the quote: "The world is not divided between East and West. You are American. I am Iranian, we don't know each other, but we talk and we understand each other perfectly. The difference between you and your government is much bigger than the difference between you and me. And the difference between me and my government is much bigger than the difference between me and you. And our governments are very much the same."
Once again.
my sincerest condolences, x

Poem 'Epitaph on a tyrant' by WH Auden
W H Auden (1939) responding to the rise of fascism
The final couplet is brutal and brilliant
The juxtaposition of laughing & crying, his tears are not empathy but triggers of violence
Not naming the tyrants make this feel less like history, more like prophecy

In a human sacrifice to deity there might be at least a mistaken and terrible beauty; in the rites of the moneychangers, where greed, laziness, and envy were assumed to move all men's acts, even the terrible became banal.
