the ancient art of barbachronology
How was Robert Knox, son of an EIC Captain and captive in Sri Lanka for nineteen years, immediately identified as an outsider aboard ship when it was inspected on his arrival in England in September 1680?

His beard was long and old-fashioned. #earlymodern #skystorians

PS: how to edit your settings to remind you to add ALT text.
If you always mean to add ALT text but you forget until it's too late, there's a toggle to prevent that in the accessibility section of your settings!
Screenshot of my settings screen. The accessibility section with “require alt text before posting” is highlighted by a hand drawn dark pink oval drawn around it.

Brown is out! They had to do more dancing in their letter because they previously capitulated and needed to reference their previous agreement but, at its core, this reiterates MIT's letter.

The clock is now on for all other institutions.

it's amazing to have a zoom with a colleague that refreshes and energizes you at the tail end of a series of zooms. that said it's also time to sit on the roof and let the wind write these recommendation letters with me

Israel is reportedly forcing 154 Palestinians freed from Israeli prisons as part of the ceasefire deal into exile and deporting them to an unknown country. Experts say the move is a violation of international law.
154 Freed Palestinian Prisoners Reportedly Being Forced Into Exile by Israel
“Exiling Palestinian prisoners is the continuation of captivity by other means,” one legal expert said.

I'm usually pretty meh about the provenance of manuscripts, and in general about 16th C printed books... But Ott.lat.1902 is the copy of Copernicus that was owned, read, an annotated by Tycho Brahe, and has his notes about orbital mechanics bound in at the end. digi.vatlib.it/view/MSS_Ott...

which is to say you can craft poems, and many do, and they can be rather good, but there is a something else that appears when a poet is attuned to a communal state of listening that can be described as magic and no amount of art can get you there

I'm no early modern historian or expert on indigenous peoples, but I am a medievalist who teaches modern medievalisms, and Indigenous futurism often starts with precolonial eras. Here are a few of my favs, my small attempt to lift up some indigenous voices on Indigenous Peoples Day #medievalsky

“American kleptocracy is built atop a system of extraction which requires nearly universal and largely voluntary participation in an attention economy activated by mountains of debt”.
Inspired by Northwestern students protesting EdTech-delivered loyalty oaths, by the student-led Luddite Renaissance, by Matthew Josephson, Connie Bruck & @tressiemcphd.bsky.social, I tried to track how kleptocratic antitrust policy enables a surveillance megalith.

yearly reminder to people insisting that we view Christopher Columbus as "a man of his time" that *the people responsible for the Spanish Inquisition* thought Columbus was out of pocket
Christopher Columbus was dragged back to Spain in chains by a crusading knight, convicted of tyranny and immeasurable cruelty, pardoned by Isabella but banned from returning to Hispaniola.

Fuck Columbus.

Living between the abject horror of state violence and the sweetness of the solidarity we are all building to face said violence—canvassing our neighborhoods with KYR literature, migra watch shifts, signal chats full of love and outrage. Thank God for everyone stepping up to meet this moment.

People think the first thing Gutenberg printed was the Bible. This is false. The first things he printed were a political prophecy, propaganda about the Turks’ threat to Christendom, & a popular school text. If you want a parallel to AI, that’s it: making $ from conspiracies, racism, & school slop.

The Virginia Senate just told UVA it’s not getting state funding if it accepts the compact since UVA exists to serve Virginia, its residents, & their interests—not be a tool of the federal govt.

repost this if an editor has ever saved you from yourself
An actual hot take: Too many authors are afraid of editors watering down their voice or whatever and not afraid enough of editors letting you put any old slop on the page.
