I’m at 999 followers! (Including trolls and bots, no doubt) Who’s going to be lucky (hopefully human) #1000? I’m a historian & librarian, interested in #earlymodern #JewishHistory, esp #WomenWhoWrote , #bookhistory, also #HigherEd. Oh, And in democracy. Deeply invested in democracy.

Wow, I had totally missed that the British Library has an exhibition on materiality of women’s writing! Diff from & closely related 2 #herbooks & #womenwrote #womenwhowrote. Who’s going to fly me to London asap? Have a look @mmargolis.bsky.social & #skystorians. Temp escape from annus horriblus 2025

We are in a war on knowledge, a war on facts, and a war on truth. The atrocious sacking of the 11th Archivist of the United States, Colleen Shogan (which she announced on her LinkedIn account last night) heralds a new era of burning of the books. www.linkedin.com/posts/activi...

sounds just like #HigherEd

Jumping to the top of my reading list. I’ve got a pretty strong hunch this book is relevant all over #HigherEd

Things making me happy right now: @orkneylibrary.bsky.social ! Many thanks to you; I’m in need of some joy & some glimpses light!

This is the worst imaginable remake of Groundhog Day.

The university where I work is also caving. We need a strategy. We need to build alliances & work together. We need to figure out how to not be Weimar G. www.artforum.com/news/smithso...

Welcome to BlueSky @yiddishbookcenter.bsky.social ! The Yiddish Book Center is an amazing source for everything #Yiddish, lots of Jewish #bookhistory, cultural solace in hard times.

More fascinating, important news at the intersection of #JewishHistory, #Holocaust history and #BookHistory.

On this International #Holocaust Remembrance Day, we at Brandeis Library are honored to have our project to identify Nazi-looted books in our collections featured in local news. In #Boston, we're supposed to be on CVB (Channel 5) at 4 pm local. And last Fri in the Boston Globe. PM for help w access

Shame on any Jewish org that doesn’t call this out.
