Baseball players have a walk-up song they use they come up to bat. I like to imagine what academics would do at conferences. A snippet of Aurora Leigh, a deep cut (two ways) from Pope, a banger from bell hooks, and that one guy who keeps using increasingly weird Nietzsche passages.
If anyone knows any excellent and experienced data engineers who would be excited by a Richmond-based job in the cultural heritage sector, have them get in touch.

Happy 8th anniversary to the tweet that changed us forever. Look at this absolute unit.
Oh. There goes the other agency I worked for.
I’m team couch rotting tonight, personally
Astronauts: just like us.
I've finally thought of a generative image AI service that doesn't ick me: one where you take a picture of your 99.9% complete jigsaw puzzle and the company mails you the one piece your family lost the last time it was put together.
But seriously, sell cursive as discovering how to read and write the secret language of the past and you'll hook a bunch of kids (and it's true). Signing checks is not a great selling point.
As part of our commemoration of the 250th anniversary of the founding of the United States, the JCB will host a series of virtual sessions with experts on major topics of the revolutionary period.

Yeah, I'm both happy it's getting traction and reliving it in a vaguely traumatizing way
Goddammit Ingrid you can’t just go around coining all-timers like “sloppelganger” and not put it on the blockchain
This brings joy

I spent some time today browsing through the hundreds & hundreds of new (to us) image cuts at Skeuomorph & pulling out my favorites. There are so many options, but the winner may be this little frog riding his velocipede
Helen Smith does the Acknowledgments and Dedications chapter. Mine on To The Reader epistles would be less helpful, but possibly relevant?
Book Parts, 2019, ed Dennis Duncan and Adam Smyth...
Does he also believe in unicorns?
⚖️ ICYMI: Over the weekend we shared a major update in our lawsuit defending the National Endowment for the Humanities.
Newly released documents in the case reveal how DOGE and NEH officials decided which grants to cut during efforts to dismantle the agency.
Catch up on what happened:
New sideline for former English professors? Asking for a friend.

The entire budget of the NEH couldn’t buy more than three jets. The budget was tiny. And it was great ROI for the American people.
Optimist
Lord Nelson was 5ft 6in. His statue is 17ft 4in.
That’s Horatio of 3:1.
