Today I went on Twitter for the first time in many moons just so I could like a truckload of @DanDiPiero's tweets and watch him go semi-viral talking about gerrymandering #truelove
Since I've spent the last hr+ reiterating this in the comments let me say that this HUNDO P effects even our statewide races: federal dems/etc see us as a hopeless cause (bc the state gov't is so red BC we have been so gerrymandered) and so they ignore us. So yes THIS MATTERS.
@iluvsmokedsalsa @DanDiPiero @HC_Richardson but actually when the ryan campaign was completely ignored by federal dems because they see us as red because our state gov't is red BECAUSE we are gerrymandered to shit then YES -- it all comes back to how the GOP has been silencing our votes for a generation with these maps
@AB2kGR @DanDiPiero no -- but the fact that federal dems now completely ignore ohio saying we're a fully red/trump state (even though we AREN'T -- it's because we've been gerrymandered to shit so our state gov't looks red) is a HUGE part to blame for that
@IndyBlue100 @DanDiPiero @HC_Richardson federal dems ignored ohio, left the ryan campaign on its own while national news coverage was all "ohio is hopeless, it's a red state now, there's nothing we can do, we better spend money elsewhere yah yah yaaahh"//also the whole state did NOT vote for vance (47% is a LOT of us!)
I would like everyone to know that my partner, the author of this tweet, just me this tweet to make sure that I saw it.
Also this book is v good (so go read it!) and, as an art historian, may I just say: this comparison is IMPECCABLE.
SO NY STATE IS MAKING MUSEUMS LABEL ALL NAZI-LOOTED ART ON VIEW BUT THEY SHOULD ALSO LABEL ALL ART LOOTED THROUGH GENOCIDE AND COLONIZATION AND EXPAND HOW THE WORKS ENDED UP IN THE COLLECTION IN THE FIRST PLACE ACTUALLY THEY SHOULD RESTITU-

@SwitchedOnPop@JeanVal37813401 HARD ๐AGREE๐I am currently writing a long piece about all the James Bond Theme Songs and this is a HARD TRUTH that The World is Not Enough is not only underrated but also legitimately the best Bond Theme of all time
@theophelias are making some of the most gorgeously lush tunes in the world right now and @DanDiPiero is writing some extremely accurate and thoughtful insights about it. Beaming with Midwest/music/partner pride and love๐ฅฐ๐ฅฐ๐ฅฐ

I cannot describe what an inspiration these women are. This is what democracy looks like. @CoriBush is the kind of person we should all be: fierce, kind, and GETS THINGS DONE FOR THE GREATER GOOD OF EVERYONE.
Ok, #EarlyModern#Renaissance#Baroque#arthistory friends: I cannot for the LIFE of me remember where the quote that's like "the best painters are poets" comes from...it's not Ars Poetica, is it Vasari? Is it Aristotle? MY BRAIN IS MUSH I NEED HELP
