A morning of wonder and calm exploring the Huntington’s cactus garden before the tourists arrived with an architectural historian friend who is delightfully sensitive to the play of light on the marvelous collection of succulents and cacti (that has woefully been stolen from).

A pleasure to collaborate with the intellectually generous, vibrant & deeply talented @luisacale.bsky.social , as well as the curious, rigorous & tenacious up-and-coming scholar Carolin Gluchowski, who had defended her viva the week before. Both papers framed the conference with critical key terms

Thanks to my elegant, brilliant & kind co-convener Adam Smyth, our speakers, & our audience at the Extra Extra! conference at the Huntington, for an exhilarating program of great papers on the history of the visually altered book last week. A🧵 in progress

“Fredric Jameson was arguably the most prominent Marxist literary critic in the English-speaking world. In other words, he was a fairly obscure figure: well-known — revered, it’s fair to say — within a specialized sector of an increasingly marginal discipline.” www.nytimes.com/2024/09/23/b...

A digital tsunami is coming and the National Archives desperately needs help—in funding, personnel, and infrastructure—to continue to do the amazing and democracy-fortifying work it does in maintaining and making publicly accessible our nation's records. wapo.st/47AEERp

Here to report for accountability that I wrote my response to the reader’s reports for my next book (thanks to the help of great & very smart friends) & finished my article! Won’t lie about not pulling any all-nighters. But I’m happy I got them done; it’s the kind of hard work I actually enjoy

Just opened my file drawer of folders from my library & information studies program. How lucky I was to have a chance to discover & enter this fascinating field at my stage as a scholar. It’s changed my perspective & I’ll never write again the kind of chapters and articles I used to

No day of mine would be complete without a portion of it spent on looking for my phone.

Grateful that the sign on my neighbor’s lawn is for Harris…and no one tore it down (yet).

Too disturbing to visit bsky now. Don’t want to know actually these domestic pet killing stories whether they are true or alleged. Please stop.

I can’t get over the fact that she said as an aside nothing’s going to happen to people’s guns…She and Tim Walz own guns.
