If your website is still http only, no https...

... are you okay? Do you need help doing archival work? this isn't shade, we just saw the long tail of the web forced offline with the move to https everywhere.

Are you holding on to an http only site for someone who's passed? DM me and I'll help you save a copy some place more durable than a personal or academic server sitting on someone's desk or in a closet. Let's save the remnants of the old web before they go offline entirely.

the way you beat fascism, is to make it cost more to be a fascist, than nazis are willing to bear. You folks saying "you can't ever eliminate fascists" are right, but you're missing the forest for the trees. Nazis hiding in their basement talking about how oppressed they are with other nazis, is still fascism, it's just not relevant.

If you haven’t seen #GodzillaMinusOne you should. It’s the best movie I saw this year. Also, this is the best kaiju joke I saw this year.
Subjecting black citizenship to the popular will is how Reconstruction was killed after the Civil War. If this country makes the same mistake in 2024, it won’t only be black folks who suffer the consequences.
In case you or someone you know is interested in moving your newsletter: we can migrate _everything_ for you. Subscribers, posts, paid subscriptions, images, the whole nine yards. It takes minutes, not hours.

The sun will go down. The sun will rise again. It has has gotten darker. It will get bright again. The dark has wrapped and sheltered us, but now its time is done. And if we want the light back, and not just the sun, we better build a damn big fire.

Happy solstice.

You can say Substack should host Nazis, but don't pretend there's some "free speech" principle to it. Substack has a strict ban on pornography. Welcoming Nazis while banning sex workers isn't a principled stand, it's a choice, an expression that you like the former and dislike the latter.

The NHS is utterly failing my nephew, who is very unwell with Neuroblastoma. I’m looking to chat to anyone, from anywhere in the world, who has knowledge and experience in fighting this rare cancer.

I rarely ask for promotion but I’m rather at a loss, so please, consider giving this a boost if you feel able.
