OK, a quick pinned I guess.
- I'm a middle-aged cishet white male. I entirely understand if that is distasteful to you, I'm not entirely proud of my bros myself.
- I work for a University library. I support the library. I loathe the University.

Spent an hour on and off with Spotify online support just trying to find out where to file feedback re: ICE ads. After asking what the feedback was, all four reps ended the chat immediately when I mentioned ICE. This has to be direction from above. Save your time and just cancel now.

Amazing post on 16 century Indigenous life in the Middle Appalachian region including what is now Saltville (Manaytique) VA today.

Here is a fairly drafty first draft!

I am so thrilled to tell the story of these two Appalachian Indigenous women from the 16th century, a story that is just barely tellable. Please let me know if you use it!

Violence doesn't have a place on college campuses, and yet, there it is. Over and over again, it is there. We stare, agape. "That shouldn't be there," we intone, our mantra. We look at our class rosters. Uh-oh: violence is taking our class. "That shouldn't be there," we say.

This is the first time your existence has been revealed to me, this smear of words which is grammatically correct but entirely devoid of meaning. May it be the last time.
