@juliaazari.bsky.social please explain everything and exactly how much we should be panicking. Because I gotta tell you, as a comparativist, I am panicking.

Lots of dinner elements being smushed together here. In terms of seriousness of efforts to kill parts of the state they don’t like while still pretending to rule in a liberal democratic order, probably Thatcher. In terms of willingness to ally with theocracy to get it, Turkey or Russia.

Since tourist season is upon us I've been asked a lot for my medieval London tips. Turns out I have 3 days worth, so I wrote them up for Patrons. You can check it out from just £1 per month, and it supports the blog. You get churches! Museums! Graveyards! AND pubs.

Not over. As someone alive before Chevron precedent, before legal abortion, before many things being flipped back in time existed, I can say you can fight this war&win it. Again. &this time, people have sunk costs&reaped benefits where before it was theoretical. They will feel&resent the loss.

Here's what we're gonna do. Most of us. Instead of rage-posting memes and speculating about stuff we have no way to know or control. After today, here's what we're gonna do. We're gonna plan for our most vulnerable friends and neighbors. We're gonna take care of the people on our left, & our right.

Today I finished a conference paper and a book manuscript. Going for the trifecta, tried to submit an article only to be put off by an APC that is literally half of my yearly research/travel budget. When will public health journals realize that not everyone is grant-funded?!?!?

Yep. Some of us mask when in enclosed spaces with other people bc we are immunocompromised and don’t want to be sick all the time. And some of us have family members who love us and who mask to protect us. Please just let us be!!!

Looking for help: I'm interested in talking to interviewers or field directors for public opinion surveys in the 50s, 60s or 70s, particular people of color. I would be especially interested to talk to anyone who was involved on any level with the Data Black or GE Trendex surveys.

Like I don’t always/often agree with the tactics activist groups choose, which is why I’m not more of an in-the-streets activist. But I don’t for a second assume that they didn’t think about the tradeoffs of choosing one form or another of action.

Hilariously, they tried to fix the algorithm and got improvements for some disabilities, but no improvements for others. That is, for some disabilities, the biases are so deeply ingrained in our culture that these applications can't weed them out, even when trained on DEI. As stated in the article:

Excited to introduce a project I've been working on for a long time: a thorough comparison of Biden and Trump on the issues. "The stakes, not the odds," to borrow from Jay Rosen. The initial version has 6 topics, but I'll be adding more, as well as updating with new statements/policies. Gift link:

Re-upping a request for hotels in New Orleans for a couple of nights. Targeting all the usual tourist stuff, French Quarter is probably the ideal, but am open to suggestions. Some of the party has mobility issues, so working elevators are a must. Thanks in advance!

I’m in the process of applying for disability for long COVID right now. 1. I have been waiting over a year for a hearing. In that time, I have been sent over 120 pages of forms that are near impossible to fill out with cognitive difficulties. They’re intended to weed people out.

Meds that may make you more sensitive to heat include:
~ Anticholinergics
~ Antihistamines
~ Diuretics
~ ADHD stimulant meds
~ SSRIs

It's really important to keep this in mind as we head into a major heatwave.

Stay safe out there!
