Help! To my #academic and #history and #genderstudies friends: THE INTERMEDIARIES is exactly the kind of book the current admin don’t want you to teach— #trans history, #LGBTQ fight against nazis, real 🧪 science. Knowing y’all, you may be teaching it anyhow (yay!) if so TELL ME. I will come.

Cartoon of a little rook building a snowman in the shape of a crow, and a photograph of the same image as Christmas cards against a red brick background - there's one free with every order.

📌 ciaraioch.com is now taking Christmas orders for prints, cards, and vouchers - each archival-quality print on heavy art paper is made in Ireland, ships internationally in eco-friendly packaging with discount tracked postage, and comes with a FREE card and treats for every customer 🎁 #SpéirGorm

One of the handwritten gift notes that I can include for free with all orders, if desired.

First year selling my art at Christmas without the Other site, where most of my sales came from, as well as losing US orders to new tariffs, so it'll be a tough one - I put huge work into every order, so even if you can't buy, shares help get them in front of eyes.

The Polio Vaccine Was a Miracle—and We Must Not Forget It As a polio survivor, I am a dinosaur today. My great hope is that our country’s living memory of the disease ends with my generation.

Fantastic story on our homepage this morning about the race to find a polio vaccine, written by a polio survivor happy that she has become a “dinosaur” of the time before we had one. Worth your while: www.thebulwark.com/p/polio-vacc...
