Time to bring a twitter series to Bluesky: Given the incredible number of 20th-century churches in Northrhine-Westphalia (the topic of my dissertation), I’m going post one or two every day. None of these images are mine, they're all credited in the alt text, and I'll take any down if asked

#325: Fritz Klapthor, Pax Christi, Essen-Unterbergerhausen (1959, originally called St. Albertus Magnus)

The main negative response I've seen towards the excitement over this Louisiana US Senate race is "He WonT WIn AnYwAY!" I find it annoying because voters in this state haven't had much to be excited about in years, and change starts with people believing that change is possible in the first place!!

#324: Greyer and König, Chapel in the CBT Senior Residence Emmaus, Bonn-Bad Godesberg (1987; windows by Hubert Glaser)

The on-ramp to academic monograph publishing is very long, and I used to delay my gratification until the moment a publication was alive, but I'm a new me, and I will celebrate every milestone now. Friends, I give you a webpage for my forthcoming book. uk.bookshop.org/p/books/impr...

whether you're covering cornball orgies in dimes square or silicon valley, i read hunter s thompson i loved hunter s thompson and you sir are no hunter s thompson

NEW: "Donald Trump was an active participant in Jeffrey Epstein’s sexual abuse of young women during the mid-to-late 1990s," per new House Judiciary Dem report. Report has new allegation that Trump raped a 24-year-old and then promised the victim a visa & NYU admission, demanding she stay quiet.

Many comments on the great election victories in Brazil and Serbia state that the authorian right is in decline or that voters have rejected far-right authoritarianism. That is a wrong interpretation of what happened. Progressive movements mobilized and beat the authoritarian right. That's different

ONE BRAZILLION YEARS LULAG

BRAZIL'S LULA: WE DEFEATED FOREIGN INTERVENTION THROUGH DIGITAL PLATFORMS

The achievement of Serbian students overthrowing Aleksandar Vučić can't be overstated. In 2024, they began protesting. In 2025, they transformed a protest movement into civil dissidence. In 2026, they became a political party — and two months later, crushed a corrupt state-entrenched authoritarian.

It's impossible to imagine a Conservative leader having made better decisions over the past two years than the ones Kemi Badenoch has, apparently:

The pedophile protection party’s president is laundering right-wing conspiracy theories through the most corrupt DOJ in American history. Whenever the news turns bad, this creep reaches for one name: mine. So let’s make it crystal clear. My name has always been Ilhan Omar.

This doesn’t count but Michael Stipe produced Being John Malkovich and here’s him and John Malkovich looking identical at the premiere

We made a book! RURAL INDEXING: A COLLECTION OF AMERICAN BUILDINGS, SIGNS, AND SYMBOLS arrives from Rizzoli in March 2027. Our favorite themes and subjects from the thousands of places we've visited since 2010—450+ photos, many never published before. Preorder: linktr.ee/ruralindexingproject

#323: Bruno Kessels, St. Lukas, Düsseldorf-Derendorf (1957-59; tower 1985)

new york forever. FUCK ICE.

FYI I’m on the market again this year & would love to teach your students and/or help run your humanities, writing or FGLI programs. I have 15+ years of teaching & admin experience at Ivy+, top SLACs, & R1 institutions. If something interesting comes across your desk, consider passing it along!

We found that as of right now 73% of your campaign donation goes back to the consultants and vendors (!!!), four times more than just 20 years ago. Only 13% to ads. Even I was shocked.

Lmao Btw this sub only allows vetted conservative accounts to post so this probably isn't a liberal/leftist troll

#321: Eberhard Kleffner, St. Bernard, Essen-Dellwig-Vogelheim (1958, demolished 2000)

#322: Otto March, Church of the Reformation, Cologne-Marienburg (1903-05; rebuilt by Heinrich Otto Vogel, 1958-61)

EXCLUSIVE: Pete Hegseth wanted Gen. Dwight Eisenhower’s globe for his office. His staff broke it. The Pentagon denied us access to take photos, but we obtained some anyway. A story in global affairs: wapo.st/3WF2YQo
