I've had students try to tell me that core readings for the course are busy work. I think they're telling on themselves about how much they value the subject I teach.

I've been really happy with this textbook in the capstone seminar I'm teaching. The students have to put together a prospectus and literature review for their capstone project to be completed in their last semester before graduation.

I never saw that, but I had to leave the room crying when they showed ET in preschool. It was that scene with all the white suits and ET was sick, and I was both scared of and for ET.

In 1837, the *Public Ledger* joined the other London dailies in dropping volume numbers, indicating its publishers were no longer assuming the issues would be gathered and bound together for posterity, argues @jimmussell.bsky.social #RSVP2026

@jimmussell.bsky.social thus uses the numbering of issues in mastheads to assess how proprietors link their newspapers to —or decouple them from— their prior incarnations (and volume numbering —or not— as their relationship to archiving and posterity). #RSVP2026

@3volumenovel.bsky.social fiction from the penny press moved into the select circulating library. This is significant because the penny press was widely derided as "trash" and Victorians thought that respectable types never read it, but the differences are only light editing #RSVP2026 #PrintinMotion

#RSVP2026 #PrintInMotion Katherine rejects divide between qualitative and quantitative analysis. There's a lot of unjustified leaning on quantitative methods as more objective. e.g. data is a form of writing. Universities (science and humanities) need to defend knowledge production together.
