May your year be blessed with accepts subject to minor corrections.
If it were and he had proof, why didn’t he challenge it? Why didn’t the student challenge it?
I'm on my way to a Chanukah event. It should be a celebration but instead our community is once again mourning.
I will be thinking of everyone in Australia and those around the world in the Jewish Community who know this fear and loss.
We stand with you.
The anti-Semitic mass shooting in Australia will cause a national conversation and policy change. We know this because the 1996 Port Arthur massacre led to significant restrictions on guns.
The shooting at Brown will do nothing. We know this because it occurred on the anniversary of Sandy Hook.

I think wearing a glove is pretty essential. I risked slicing my finger! But with gloves I sliced 1kg of apples!
This time I have baked it using the mandoline (yesterday I cut my finger using it to slice some red cabbage without the glove!)…but I had also baked it without a couple of weeks ago and then I cut the apples by hand.
You can also see my grammar is wobbly! 😄

I am not here very often these days. But the semester is almost over, as I am marking, this is the best coping mechanism.
No, you aren’t. And what is exactly your point?
And surely, small-boat come on motorbikes or cars…go figure. Who wrote this stuff??
I can easily believe these exchanges! Kids and bugs…you need to talk with somebody who gets it! 😁
It was announced in the HSS business meeting, so I can share some exciting news: I am one of the new co-editors of Osiris, with Prakash Kumar, Hugh Cagle, & Monica Azzolini, serving in a 5-year term. I am honored and thrilled to be on this team, and eager to embark on this new endeavor! #HSS2025
So excited to work with such a terrific group of colleagues! The collegiality of the HSS family is one of the best part of this job! I am really looking forward to working to support authors and editors to publish innovative research in Osiris. This is a dream come true.

I have a little problem with the amount they are asking. A little short at the moment! 😁

I so wish there were workshops like these when I started! Get as much support as you can get! Fabulous initiative.
The Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh also had exceptional links with slavery, including owning a plantation for a period. NHS Lothian Charity has done some impressive and thoughtful work with the Health Board on this shameful history: org.nhslothian.scot/aboutus/atla...
Fabulous job (STS/sociolegal studies of medical disinformation) in a wonderfully collegial, intellectually stimulating research center:

Material culture is so much more interesting; more texts and objects for historians of science.

Insanely warm in Edinburgh. First stop: bookstore.
Better than nothing?
Oh Greg, you interviewed two of my former colleagues in a week! I just saw a clip with @frankcogliano.bsky.social while you were recording! We will be listening to the July 4th special! And we are heading back to Edinburgh next week for a two-week stint as aliens (well, me! They’re British citizens)
Yes, the hypocrites. They want immigrants to do the hardest jobs and then leave rather than be able to stay and vote.
And they also encouraged people to not vote in the recent citizenship referendum....
They also said that taxes were going down: the fiscal levy is now at 47%. It has never been so high. People should pay attention to facts and not words. They do the opposite of what they preach.
