Oxford repping in Cambridge’s NYC office at the InterPress mixer last night. Who says we’re awkward you’re awkward. P.S. can you spot the sneaky @princetonupress.bsky.social photo crasher? @theweaknessinme.bsky.social @hannahdoy.bsky.social @damsel14.bsky.social

Can’t stop thinking about these two stats from the @harpers.bsky.social index today. Maybe it’s time to reread Ling Ma’s “Severance” & for all of us to get Production Editor jobs in Bibles publishing for the end of days?

We join with publishers, authors, booksellers & librarians to affirm that the White House executive order recognizing only two sexes constitutes censorship and has no place in a free society. University presses strive to give voice to the breadth of human knowledge & experience. 1/2

I interrupt your Bluesky feed this AM with a photo of my cat, who was adopted in Brooklyn 4 years ago. She no longer owns up to her previous life as a dumpster kitty; we celebrate her adoptaversary with only top shelf treats. “You’re welcome,” her look says.

The difference between Kelce and Hurts seems a perfect illustration of the fact that that being "nonpolitical" rn is a deeply political act. Happy for my Philly friends, & all those who dare to take a stand. OK that's all. I'm off to forget everything I learned about football in the last 24 hrs.

Me in my 20s: drinks 6 cups of black coffee What a lovely normal day at the office! Me last night: I think the barista gave me regular instead of decaf this afternoon. I’ve been drugged. I’ll never sleep again.

"When a book from a university press is feted by celebrities or becomes a NYT bestseller, is it an outlier? Sure, but outliers in other areas of the university--a Rhodes scholar, a Nobel-winning physicist [...]--are justly held up to reflect positively on the larger endeavor..." ^THIS

The dottores are in the house! 'twas a truly magical night at the #MetOpera last week, watching OUP authors at work supporting singers as they pull out all the stops for Tosca. Surreal to see the contents of our books in practice. Bravi, Drs. Jenny Cho & Tony Jahn! global.oup.com/academic/pro...

So many new people on this app! Don’t mind me; I’m just out here following every single account for UPs, publishing folks, & music scholars. Excited to build this new community with you all! One which will definitely not be ruined by a megalomaniac tech bro (Right? RIGHT? Plz tell me I’m right 😭).

“I’m still catching up post conference!” - apologetic - deflecting - implies poor time management “Some foul horomancy has beguiled us this past fortnight” - enigmatic - witchy - definitely not at all too dramatic for the situation at hand

Officially back in the wintry hellscape that is NYC but still smiling at these photos from last weekend at #TMEA24 in sunny San Antonio. Just look at these happy authors and their beautiful books!
