Yesterday’s BIPOC Critics Lab session was all about editing, giving shape to our first drafts, and lost potato bags. @bedatri.bsky.social was, as usual, a fabulous guest instructor!

I'm very grateful for this cohort. They teach me as much as I teach them.

Is there a Japanese/German quaint word for the irony of blocking bike lanes for cars to pass through during Climate Week?

Israel’s attack on Yemeni newspaper complex kills 31 media workers Press freedom group says ‘brutal and unjustified attack’ is deadliest against journalists since Maguindanao massacre Thirty one journalists and media staff were killed by Israeli strikes on newspaper offices in Yemen last week in what the Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ) said on Friday was the deadliest attack on journalists in the last 16 years.

Slept on the moment this became a trend but can people stop saying "respectfully"?

People talking about a royal wedding...like it's a good thing

Niche Amtrak post. But sometimes you look around, everyone's quiet but you know which ones don't know it's a quiet car

I get migraines and I haven't been able to figure out the exact triggers. But with a doctor I figured out that Nurtec works more than any Triptans. But my insurance demands I'm prescribed three kinds of Triptans (knowing they don't work) before I can be prescribed Nurtec. Make it make sense!

I think it's normal to think of songs about a city when you're visiting it. Unfortunately, this time in SF, that song is the Beautiful South's "Don't Marry Her." Excellent song but a rather uncouth hum-on-the-bus song
