I just submitted a CHOICE review for The Victorian Novel on File by @flockingwhere.bsky.social. It's so good! It was a pleasure to read such a well-written book that explores the famously capacious Victorian novel in the context of information history. Highly recommended!

NEW—Trump WH has blocked all CDC science reports (eg MMWR) & suspended all CDC / FDA / NIH external communications of all HHS agencies until further notice... including all FDA & CDC Health Alert warnings & all social media. Public health be damned. Gift 🎁 link: wapo.st/4aqfN44

I’m enjoying finding people again here and discovering new people to follow (hello!) but I’m disappointed so many orgs are still only on the dumpster fire formerly known as Twitter
