And also one of our staff members “loves” (her words, not mine) this system and could probably help if you need it

Yep! I got one sent back today because the restaurant said we had 4 in our party and we had 5. The 5th person was 5 minutes late, so the tab was not updated. I had to write a set of comments on why I had listed 5 names. The amount of money saved is much less than the amount of money spent on time…

Same (Reed), carried it through grad school, and still feel the same. Most of the students I teach now get it, and I can often bring the more cynical (or preprofessional) around to get there, too… makes for more fun all around.

How did Tolkien write so much? The answer is he didn't have two-factor authentication for every aspect of his life

Thinking of creating some snarky academic starter packs like: Academics who think their ideas are WAY more important than they actually are Academics who peaked a while ago Academics whose questions are more like comments Academics who always go over their allotted time

I wrote about the coordinated right-wing campaign to manipulate voters into believing Trump is the favorite to win the presidency, and highlighted some trustworthy data that might make you feel slightly better about things. bad-faith-times.ghost.io/you-are-bein...

I wonder if I know someone who might be interested in buying it? (Who's the dealer?)

Same! Going on Sundays--or very early Monday morning--ugh!! How about when a slide you really needed was misplaced? The worst.

Julie Nelson Davis @juliendavis.bsky.social · 10/06/2024

I miss it, too (and being with you there, too). Slide room was a great place to catch up on all the news and gossip. I also took carousels with me to conferences and talks (and had slides get stuck because of failing labels).

Fabulous Kyōsai catch! What's the anatomical book? So cool to think of the thread going back to the Laocoon. . .

Gonna check the book and see if he's also had an eye rubbed out!

The New York Times revealed that the #Smithsonian possessed a century’s worth of “posture” photos of college students. Beth Linker explains why this was only a part of the incredible #history of 20th century America’s #posture panic. hubs.ly/Q02z9Hf50

Thanks @paularcurtis.bsky.social for posting some of the saucier images from our workshop! Here are a couple of action shots of us looking at rare (and rare-ish) Japanese illustrated books. #ArthurTressCollection

Will's outreach made it possible for many of us to do new work in special collections, and his encouragement and support was incredible. He was an advocate for open access--"free the images!"--and for playing with ideas. I am devastated to lose this vital and inspiring intellect, wonderful friend.

Such an amazing lineup!!! Smith literally wrote the book on Shōgun & history ("Learning From Shōgun," 1980), Pitelka wrote a book on Tokugawa Ieyasu (the model for "Toranaga"), Berry wrote a book on Ieyasu's predecessor Hideyoshi (the "Taikō"), and Hubbard wrote a book on English sailors c.1600.
