The last while i have been struggling with some things, but then there always comes a book along that shares a beautiful story, with real trans joy. Anyway, this is one of them. Thank you @rykaaoki.bsky.social

One thing I'm enjoying most about creating this book is the antagonism between Cheney as interim Southern Reach director and Lowry as more or less the head of Central. That period of time is creating some very funny and yet relevant narrative. Along with Whitby's sad powerpoints. Out Spring 2028.

Just a beautiful queer Southern Gothic novel. Beautifully tough and tender. Sometimes we carry things alone, and sometimes we carry things together. Just beautiful @leemandelo.bsky.social

I am chilling at a public library in MA. The library's lore is that a rich guy from Harvard left a bequest and some books for a library. The truth is, he died without a will and his sister inherited automatically and said "You know, this town could really use a library." I've fixed Wikipedia. 📚

Title:
Who is Haunting The Library of Forbidden Tomes?

Image: five panels showing characters in a gothic library

22% - tormented souls, frozen between life and death (a ghost reading a book)
4% - dank, fetid horrors from the icy depths below (a black slug like creature with a single eyestalk reading a book)
15% - cold, lifeless bones possessed by a corrupt sorcery (a skeleton reading a book)
11% - frigid and malevolent ectoplasmic vapours (a shapeless apparition reading a book)
48% - regular readers happy to away from the heatwave

We have been discussing the first two points a lot in our dept this week. We teach hands-on exploration, embodied cognition, thinking through making, so this forfeit and refusal of friction and process is hugely damaging to learning. I do think NZ academics in general are avoiding point 3 though.

reminder of cryptogyny, the hiding of women's contributions to science, technology, engineering, and medicine: "although three men received the Nobel Prize for penicillin, women participated significantly in the team effort that brought the drug to medical usefulness." www.jstor.org/stable/jj.55...

Although the twentieth century finds male practitioners firmly in control
of formal Western medicine, women doctors and healers still have important
inventions and innovations to their credit.
For example, although three men received the Nobel Prize for penicillin,
women participated significantly in the team effort that brought the drug to
medical usefulness. Women had discovered the mold’s usefulness centuries
or perhaps millennia earlier (Halsbury 1971, p. 19; Raper 1952, p. 1), and
one nineteenth-century Wisconsin woman, Elizabeth Stone, an early antibi
otic therapist, specialized in treating lumberjacks’ wounds with poultices of
moldy bread in warm milk or water: she never lost an injury patient (Stellman
1977, p. 87). In the twentieth-century development of the drug, it was a
woman bacteriologist, Dr. Elizabeth McCoy of the University of Wisconsin,
who created the ultraviolet-mutant strain of Penicillium used for all further
production, since it yielded nine hundred times as much penicillin as Fleming’s
strain (Bickel 1972, p. 185; O’Neill 1979, p. 219).4 And as Howard Florey,
leader of the British penicillin team, was quick to point out, it was Dr. Ethel
Florey’s precise clinical trials that transformed penicillin from a crude some
time miracle worker into a reliable drug. It was also a woman, Nobel laureate
and X-ray crystallographer Dr. Dorothy Crowfoot Hodgkin, who finally deter
mined the precise structure of the elusive penicillin molecule (Bickel 1972,
p. 216; Opfell 1978, pp. 211, 219).
Women were also involved in developing the sulfa drugs that preceded
penicillin. For instance, it was a married pair of chemists, Prof. and Mme.
Tréfouėl, and their colleagues at the Pasteur Institute in Paris who split red
azo dye to create sulfanilamide (Bickel 1972, p. 50).
At least two women have invented new antibiotics for which they receive
sole credit. Dr. Odette Shotwell of Denver, Colorado, came up with two new
antibiotics—duramycin and azacolutin—during her fi…
