When Danielle Mužina and I proposed our #SECAC25 panel, we weren’t sure anyone would be interested. Not only did we have four amazing panelists (Casey Wolhar, Colleen Merrill, Claudia Wilburn, and Sarah Odens) but everyone showed up to hear about their work.

Look at this batshit voicemail I got today… the voice was the basic machine automated. These bots are taking it to the next level. #Zombies
Screenshot of voicemail transcript reading: ““Zombies at the location you have dialed the office has been evacuated. Please leave a message and we will return your call as soon as possible. Unless of course, the apocalypse occurs first in this event will likely have other priorities.…”

Really cool look at the conflict and collaboration between these two empires. If you can make it to Nashville, it’s worth the visit.

Visited the Frist Art Museum in Nashville with some of my some awesome early modern Italianists (look out for a review from one in the IAS Newsletter soon). The show “Venice and the Ottoman Empire” was pretty great.

Like what the actual fuck is this?
Did they use an LLM to write this?
This is embarrassing for this organization.

Shaming people ain’t gonna save democracy. Like all ‘red’ states, we’ve seen generations of defunded education, disenfranchisement, and gerrymandering. Fuck you if you are dunking on entire states rather than attacking the rich assholes doing real harm.
