Great to see the 9th century Lough Kinale Book Shrine (found at the bottom of an Irish ☘️ lake) is finally done being restored! It will go one display on Thursday at the NMI (an amazing museum by the way) for “Words on the Wave: Ireland and St Gallen in Early Medieval Europe.” More book shrines, plz

Finally, my photo review of Partizan 2025. I focus mainly on the best of the Demo games because that's all I managed to get around. I missed most of the Participation zone because I was chin wagging most of the day and ran out of time!! 🤣

Thank you, @legaldefensefund.bsky.social, for the incredible honor at the National Equal Justice Awards Dinner, celebrating 85 years of inspiring work and leaders fighting for justice. The theme #AllRise was a reminder that now more than ever, we must stand united. #NEJAD2025

NYU has announced that they're withholding this young scholar's diploma over this speech. I'm an American-Israeli Jew and I agree with every word he said. I have degrees from Tel Aviv University, University of Chicago, and Dominican University (Chicago). Perhaps I should be stripped of them?

A better way to phrase this: "Up to 1,000 brave and patriotic Americans kicked out of the military for no reason by a weird, draft-dodging lout who wouldn't know courage if it offered to spank him."

So proud to have co-written this newly published book w/my brilliant friend Anne E. Lester; I just remembered the book came into being largely b/c of an #NEH grant Anne received in 2020-2021, allowing us to follow up on our pandemic zoom calls together. cornellpress.manifoldapp.org/projects/a-c...
