cover of an 1880s children's book titled "Queer People with Paws and Claws" with illustrations of animals in clothing. I see Country Mouse/City Mouse, the big bad wold, and Puss in Boots, as well as a porcupine, elephant, and possibly a fox. The colors are muted or faded, mostly yellowish and greenish

Your book may not be their book. Their book may not be your book. Someone else's book may not be for you right now, but could resonate later.

Just...let people read.

Full length front view of a pale yellow early 1900s evening ensemble with short sleeved bodice and long skirt. Both bodice and skirt are embellished with the outline of oak leaves and acorn motifs couched across the surface

A bodice detail of the yellow early 1900s evening dress that highlights the chenille embroidered oak leaves and acorns

I remember seeing this dress at close quarters during a research fellowship at the Fashion Museum in Bath many years ago. The oak leaves and acorns are subtly outlined in silk cord and chenille, the whole a vision in pale buttery yellow. House of Worth c1903 #FashionMuseumBath #FashionHistory 🗃️🪡

This also happens between the network and showrunners/producers. I’ve occasionally been called in when a show is in trouble or shut down, and you’d be surprised the number of times we’ve identified, if not *fixed* the problem when I ask “what show do you think you’re making?” and the answers clash.

Thaaannnk yoooouuuuu. I knew I was remembering SOMEONE working on it. :)

*it's a tract that could be read as fairly anti-monarchical, but is dedicated to King George IV. We're... confused. 2/2

Hey #BookHist folks - I have a vague memory that someone was doing work on early modern dedications? I've got a colleague who is trying to make sense of an early 19th c dedication* and I was wondering if looking at the work on EM dedications might give him some insights. Any recs? 1/2

oh nooooooo! Maybe it's just getting it out of the way early and will come back up and stay up? I hope you have the means to stay warm until it does!

I assume you've slogged through all of the ESTC listings? :(

that absolutely needs to enter my lexicon 😂

For me the money quote is: “I think they took as a starting point: ‘Why would he?’ And we took as a starting point: ‘Why wouldn’t he?’ And that simple semantic difference can lead you to wildly different conclusions,” said the official.

A reminder, before a certain movie probably makes a big thing of it again:

The most critical data came from HMS Hoste, alone out in the Atlantic.

I propose to make universal the old policy of the Blackfriars conference at the American Shakespeare Center:

If you do not end your paper on time, you will be forced to exit, pursued by a bear. Literally, a bear will come take your paper from you.

to quote a friend, they need a priest and a zamboni

yikes! 😬 this ice is really fighting back today.

I think this is the best comparative I've seen. Absolutely agree.
