Sweet Barnum has been looking for his forever home for about 3yrs
He’s never been to a foster home, he’s never been adopted. He went from the streets right to our Adoption Center
Can you give Barnum a chance?

You know what we won't need once handwriting recognition software has done its thing? Archivists, curators, conservators, catalogers, codicologists, or paleographers. We won't need archives either. We won't need diplomatics, editorial theory, book or media history, or material culture studies 🗃️🧵

Don't pronounce a eulogy on dogs yet. We'll want them around to understand the Tamagotchi we do have, build more Tanagotchi, work on breeds big companies don't care about, and evaluate when electronic pets go wrong.

I meant to grade papers today, I swear I did, but then I got distracted by a group of Harvard Divinity School students who spent 1834 buying pornography and then turning in the people who sold it to them. One of them, Frederick W. Holland, also ended up with a copy of Walker's Appeal around then 🗃️

I think of myself as a pretty good teacher, and in the past half dozen years, I have put more of my hope, energy, and dedication into teaching than anything else. But this semester, I just taught badly. There. I said it. We don’t talk enough about when things go sideways in class, and I wish we did.

TFW students go on vacation, and an entire flagship university campus becomes your personal dog park. Tulip could not be happier!

I would never in a million years have chosen a dog so wild, so mischievous, so energetic, or so relentless as Tulip, but having ended up with exactly that dog, I could not love it - or her - more. Her constant shenanigans are a complete joy! 🖤🌪️🐕🦺

It’s Thanksgiving Break, so Tulip got to run around campus off leash and enjoy the leaves.

On reflection, perhaps bringing Tulip to class the same day I brought donuts to class wasn’t the best thought out plan . . .

My last research trip was very spur of the moment, and I ended up hiring a cat sitter from Rover who stole a bunch of books from my house. It took a month and threats of police involvement to get them back. So, @kawulf.bsky.social, now you know that Lineage is so good that people will steal it!

How did #Paris smell in the seventeenth century? According to the account of the visiting englishman John Evelyn, it stank ‘as if sulphur were mingled in the mud’.

The Smellscapes of Cities
Peter Burke sketches in this text how urban smellscapes from the early modern period to the present shape cultural perception, structure memory, and serve as an invisible yet historically revealing map of city life for visitors and inhabitants alike.

Hello #DressHistory Bluesky! Can somebody explain to me the difference between womens shoes and pumps at this period? (1771) If you can point me to illustrations that would be fabulous!

If I ever need to improve my day, putting a fresh set of strings on my guitar usually does the trick. Today, I also replaced a cracked pickup ring, and gave the guitar a polish and intonation. Now everything looks good and sounds lush and chimey. Voilà!

I’m basically surviving day to day on Zoloft and dog hugs right now.

Hey Raleigh folks, it looks like ICE has maybe gotten Apple Maps and Google Maps to remove the listing for their local operations center. If you want to write them a letter, here’s the address they don’t want you to see:
