Biblionerd; interested in what books do to people, what people do to books. Early modernist by training, chaser of waterfalls and nurturer of plants by passion. All opinions my own and quite capricious.

The magic of @jcblibrary.bsky.social.. Charles Walker eminent historian of the Túpac Amaru rebellion, here to give the annual Bromsen lecture, points to a contemporary ref to Tupac that he’d never seen until… yesterday. 🤯🤓

Do the teachers at these schools still have to buy pencils and Kleenex out of their personal budgets, though? Because I bet they are doing so right now, and probably feeding a kid or two as well.

Because it's discriminatory and illegal, and used to cause homelessness for families with small children. In the US, we only outlawed it in 1968, which is way too late.

When I first investigated them in grad school, citation managers were terrible at citing unique copies. I couldn't use them. Haven't really tried since, as it's never been worth it on the article level. So yeah, some folks do still do all citations by hand 🤣

This applies to humanities funding too. Read the proposed changes and let them know your thoughts... As politely as you can. Most of the folks working for OMB are solid career wonks who care.

Baseball players have a walk-up song they use they come up to bat. I like to imagine what academics would do at conferences. A snippet of Aurora Leigh, a deep cut (two ways) from Pope, a banger from bell hooks, and that one guy who keeps using increasingly weird Nietzsche passages.

But seriously, sell cursive as discovering how to read and write the secret language of the past and you'll hook a bunch of kids (and it's true). Signing checks is not a great selling point.
