iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

Well, new business can be in order unless your bylaws prohibit it, but the agenda was on the consent calendar, and assuming the agenda had been previusly accepted, it can't be changed without a 2/3 vote. That's just, like, the law of nature.

I'm sorry, but if you wish to make a motion to abjure Satan, that belongs under new business.

I stopped listening to an audio book when the narrator pronounced petits fours as petite 4s

I’m giving a talk at the Mütter Museum tomorrow, October 8, and cannot tell you how excited I am! For the past few years, I’ve been working on a book on the American freak show for @onesignalbks.bsky.social, and this is the first public peek at what I’ve been up to 🎪 muttermuseum.org/events/meet-...

Eh, this isn't that different from the research statement, which used to be pretty standard.

Would you like to learn about the strange and scandalous way some 18th-century Venetians got out of dysfunctional marriages? Read my new article (open access!) about annulments for affinity by fornication! #earlymodern #18thcentury doi.org/10.1017/S073...

WATCH: In late 2024, FBI investigators had enough evidence to launch a sweeping bribery probe of politicians including Sen. Susan Collins — until Trump gutted the unit in charge. ProPublica revealed the existence of the case for the first time. www.youtube.com/watch?v=jqyiFFB7Kjg

True that. Some students never will. If I can get maybe 60-70% to do it, that's enough for a productive class.

The answers are quick to read and often pretty fun!

I do frequent in-class quizzes / writing exercises that amount to: "convince me you did the reading." (Short, open-ended questions like "what did you think of the change in narrative voice in Ch. 3?") I still have people who don't read, but fewer, since it makes my expectations more visible.

Cover reveal! The keywords I sent the press were “historical,” “natural,” and “multimedia” and I’d say they nailed it. Featuring my (book’s) main man Humphry Repton on the left there. Coming from Yale University Press this fall.

Image of a book cover with the title The Book of Improvement, subtitle Media Landscapes in the Global Enlightenment, and author Rachael King. The cover features a tree in the center with two men with surveying equipment to the left of the trunk and two men reclining under an umbrella to the right of the trunk. There are a river and rolling hills in the background.

I will die traumatized by that movie. If I don't do my best to live a good life, I'm convinced that at the end it's going to be those red-eyed bunnies coming for me.

It was Watership Down, and I'm not posting any images, because no one needs that.

It is not fun. And when "leave it" works on Dog 1 but not Dog 2, well, it's hard not to have thoughts about the whole thing. I know he's not an evil little goblin, but I wish the call of the wild were not so loud coming from bunny nests.

Sympathy. There was an Event with one of my dogs and a baby bunny two years ago and I've never looked at him quite the same.

I'm only about 200 pages in, so may be too early to say! It's a challenge to read, but also engaging. Progress is slow but I find myself thinking about it in between.

Would 100% go to there. Little concerned about the lighting, though. Some of us have bad eyes and are trying to work through The Rouse.
