It's been a year since my last tweet. My Patreon supporters already know I'd planned to come back this month.
I was very, very ill for the entirety of 2019.
Now things are even more complicated.
Multiple members of my family are healthcare workers in places impacted by COVID 19. My sibling’s family has COVID 19, are in military quarantine. One is in active respiratory distress.
I’m at home, staying as safe as I can be because I’m vulnerable. But I’m extremely concerned about the other effects of all of this, because I’m remarkably vulnerable to those, too.
I don’t know If I’ll be up to checking notifications or anything like that right away. But I will be posting some resources for online pedagogy and stuff like that, since that’s kind of what I’ve been talking about since 2013.
I’ll also try posting some resources for people like me, hand-to-mouth freelancers doing hard-to-categorize work and dependent on finding something to make the most basic of ends meet.

So the text in that box was added a bit later than it was painted but I've transcribed it as best i can here: medievalpoc.tumblr.com/post/696156408…
Basically, it’s a set of rather flippant verse that explains that although no one remembers much about him (including, apparently, his name) +
he was given a Christian burial and was a valued member of the household, with attendant wishes that he have a better afterlife than the life he had had (because of his race). He had a brother, who also played the horn, and who he did *not* get along with whatsoever.

Giuseppe Castiglione, also known as Lang Shining (郎世寧), was born on July 19, 1688, in the central San Marcellino district of Milan, Italy. At the age of 27, he received instructions to go to China where he served as an artist at the imperial court of three emperors.
While in China, Castiglione took the name Lang Shining (郎世寧), and adapted his Western painting style to Chinese themes and taste. This painting of Xiang Fei (A woman) in European Armour was made c.1760, and resides in National Palace Museum, Taipei.

One of my very favorite paintings is Maerten van Heemskerck's "The Triumph of Silenus"(c. 1536), also known as "Triumphal Procession of Bacchus." It's a surprising departure from the artist's usual fare of portraits and religious subjects

"Inspired loosely by Roman sarcophagi and by engravings after Mantegna, the composition is a living frieze."

It's hard to explain exactly what is so appealing about it, but I can say that if this was the cover of a book, I would definitely buy it.

I did not order it.

I don't expect anyone to believe this, but just now, I had the thought to check the q clock for posts on when this arrived. I didn't find anything that matched, but then I checked the q clock for yesterday, when I noticed it, I see it matches 2019-02-22:

1/ Texas BBQ is flourishing. The rate at which great joints are opening is staggering.

Our next top 50 list won't come until 2021, but we couldn't wait to tell you about our favorite new joints. Enter @bbqsnob’s Top 25 BBQ midterm report. #TMBBQmidterms txmnth.ly/2IPsdYf
2/ There’s never been a simple definition of Texas barbecue, and now things are even more complex.

From brisket banh mi to kimchi instead of pickles, Texas BBQ feels more global than ever.

Check out the list of best new joints, in no particular order. txmnth.ly/2IPsdYf
3/ @LeRoyandLewis in Austin has been ahead of the curve with BBQ trends since day one.

Their sauce contains beets, kimchi is standard on their sandwiches, and you might even be treated to fried rice inside their smoked boudin. txmnth.ly/2IPsdYf

A few personal observations ahead of the Spanish elections. A thread 👇 (1/n)
Barring a major upset, the Socialist Party looks set to win comfortably. This is a major win for PSOE if we look at the struggles the party has been through since the financial crisis and the sorry state of social democrat parties across Europe (2/n)
Conversely, this is a historically bad result for the Popular Party. Failure to break the 100-seat threshold would be catastrophic. PP is bleeding votes left and right to Ciudadanos and Vox and needs to come to terms with the new reality of their diminished role (3/n)

This is a terrible idea, actually.
Thanks for your question! I have a bit of time today.

It's not that people have a beef with holistic methods. It's that we have a problem with lies. It's dangerous to say you have a cure for something that you don't.
Sebi exploited very real and valid suspicions that Black people, in particular, have of the medical establishment. We know what medical professionals—supported by the gov't—have done to us. As a result, there is serious work for the medical community to do to gain our trust.
