Everyone is suddenly reporting what I’d already tooted/was already announced the other day, that #Trump will speak from #Florida on Tuesday after arraignment.
Dear The News:
Do not carry one word of this live. If he makes real news, report it afterwards, show clips if you must, but don’t play into his tiny hands yet again.
Who am I kidding? Sigh.

There need to be more good reconstructive recordings of Chaucer that distinguish all the sounds reconstructible for 14th century Middle English, and I guess if you want a thing done right you gotta do it your own self.
So here's me reading the first 78 lines of the prologue to the Canterbury Tales (the opening and the description of the Knight), complete with a somewhat freehanded modern English prose paraphrase.

Are you familiar with Bessie Smith?
She was referred to as the "Empress of the Blues", but it seems like she has been lost to modern consciousness. That makes me sad. Will you check out this amazing woman?

While it's very obvious that I'm launching a debut book at the end of May, it's less obvious how happy I am to be doing it mostly on @Mastodon.
I swing for a lot of cultural fences with The Dent in the Universe and I play fast and loose with quantum physics.
Imagining the kind of response I'd get from bad faith readers on Twitter makes me shudder. Conversely, the rewarding, supportive response I've gotten from Mastodon users has been amazing.

My newest artwork in soft pastel is a fox portrait. I am particularly happy with how the eyes turned out. I always strive to put some life into the eyes and think I've succeeded here.
See this wildlife art in my online gallery at https://mm-anderson.pixels.com/featured/fox-red-and-gold-mm-anderson.html and soon to be listed on the other sites in my profile. #PastelArtwork #TraditionalArt #WildlifeArt #ArtistsOnMastodon #MastoArt #art #wildlife #animals

Ron DeSantis fought Disney
Ron DeSantis got humiliated
Now Florida taxpayers are stuck paying $1290/hour in legal fees in addition to the millions it has already cost them to fight “wokeness”
😃

JUST IN: A federal judge has just ORDERED Llano County Texas to return "all books" that were removed from their libraries due to their content or viewpoint.
Library patrons successfully argued that "content-based restrictions" were likely unconstitutional.
The Texas judge is also prohibiting the officials from removing any more books while a lawsuit remains pending.
The books that were banned included a book for teens that calls the Ku Klux Klan a terrorist group, Isabel Wilkerson’s “Caste: The Origins of Our Discontents” and a comedic children’s book with three stories from Dawn McMillan’s “I Need a New Butt!” series.
The decision could set wide reaching precedent in light of recent book banning in Florida, supported by Ron DeSantis.
What a great victory for books! 💙

Knitters Say Stitching Helps Them Follow the Thread in Meetings
An official in Wales was called out for knitting in a virtual meeting, setting off a debate over etiquette. Experts say the fine-motor movement activates the parts of the brain used for focus.

A state you’re not allowed to take your pregnant daughter out of to procure a legal medical procedure in another state is no longer a state and becomes a dystopian prison.
Idaho is about to become a prison for underage girls.
I hope this is a wake up call for people who aren’t taking this creeping christofascism seriously — they are coming for EVERYTHING that doesn’t fit into their worldview.
If you ever wondered what you would have done in WW2 or Jim Crow, you’re doing it now.
