- Reposted by Karen Green (she/her)America cannot long remain free, nor first among nations, if it becomes the kind of place where universities are dismantled because they don't align politically with the current head of the government.

- What’s up, doc? Seen hanging out on 231st St, half a block from the Henry Hudson Parkway.

- Reposted by Karen Green (she/her)60% of American households can’t afford a minimal quality of life. Meanwhile, the 19 richest households saw their wealth increase by $1 trillion in 2024 — the biggest one-year increase ever. Our problem isn't a lack of resources. Our problem is ever-expanding inequality.
- @nsousanis.bsky.social and I made it into the timeline of 50 years of Columbia alumni magazine. If you want to see the other 49 years, click here magazine.columbia.edu/article/50-y...
- With thanks to J.J Sedelmaier and Howard Beckerman’s daughter Sheri, these beauties are now gracing our collection. Descriptions in the ALT text.
- This is a major milestone. It’s even bigger than this post indicates. Art Spiegelman won a special Pulitzer. Tessa Hulls won a Pulitzer for a category that branched off in 2023 from one established in 1917.
- Wonderful, fabulous @cathkastner.bsky.social drew this portrait of me after my visit with her in Paris. It is accurate to every detail, from Sacre-Coeur in the background to my fuschia coat to the pockets on my suitcase to my omnipresent chocolat chaud.
- So…more fun at Columbia. I left the library at about 3:30 to go have tea with a donor. There was a crowd outside the entrance, but they were milling about. No chanting, no placards.
- Judging by the Spec’s reporting, it sounds like our own Public Safety officers (all too many of whom are hired outside security) did quite enough roughing up on their own. I dont see the point in calling in the highly-militarized NYPD.
- At around 4pm, I got a call from a colleague, asking me if I was in or out of the building and, if I was out, whether I had all my things. I didnt, as it happened: my bag with wallet, cards, house keys, was still in my office.

- Last night at @92ndstreety.bsky.social : Naomi Fry talks with Robert Crumb and Dan Nadel, on the occasion of the release of Dan’s Crumb biography. Also, obviously, the most important content in the book (see alt-text for why)!
- Reposted by Karen Green (she/her)MMR vaccine doesn’t just prevent measles, mumps, and rubella. It also prevents RFK Jr. from showing up at your child’s funeral to exploit your grief at your most vulnerable moment.
- Look at this absolute BEAUTY of a cartoon: Sisters of Liberty!, by Burris Jenkins, 1943. From a time when a majority of Americans pulled together for a common goal. Hard to believe, eh?
- Incidentally, I think the woman in the foreground looks like Patricia Neal, but she wouldn’t become a star for another 6 years…
- Un-American.
- Interesting. I would have expected the price to be higher. The one on the left might belong in a different bin, though.
- Jeez, let’s get back to comics, eh? I’m trying to avoid current events as much as possible to stave off insanity (witness my last post, wherein I succumbed). Herewith, for those of you on FB, a minuscule portion of the photos we got in a recent donation… www.facebook.com/126490/posts...?
