An incredible cover has landed for an incredible book - Philippa Hetherington's "Circulating Subjects: Sex Work and Migration in Russia, 1885–1935." More on how to pre-order a copy of her "riveting" and "radical" @cornellupress.bsky.social book here: www.cornellpress.cornell.edu/book/9781501...

A book cover with a poster at center showing a woman in a purple skirt, orange top, and black boots waving to a distant crowd, opposite a taller looming woman in white. At bottom is the book title, Circulating Subjects, in black and at top is the author's name, Philippa Hetherington, in orange type.

Earlier today I saw a pickup truck flying a red and black flag, the colors of Nazism and Bandera. But on closer look, I realized that it was the flag of the United Farm Workers, with a black Aztec eagle symbolizing the long Mexican presence in California. We all need more moments like this.

I meant my first post on blue sky to be on something to do with my research, instead I am in horror how deep an esteemed colleague can fall. How can anyone justify going to Valdai these days (or really ever).
