I dunno if you meant this as a deliberate reference but we were literally just talking about this at NAVSA this weekend. From Anna Tsing
What if we imagined intellectual life as a peasant woodland, a source of many useful products emerging in unintentional design? The image calls up its opposites: In assessment exercises, intellectual life is a planta- tion; in scholarly entrepreneurship, intellectual life is pure theft, the pri- vate appropriation of communal products. Neither is appealing. Con- sider, instead, the pleasures of the woodland. There are many useful products there, from berries and mushrooms to firewood, wild vegeta- bles, medicinal herbs, and even timber. A forager can chose what to gather and can make use of the woodland’s patches of unexpected bounty. But the woodland requires continuing work, not to make it a garden but rather to keep it open and available for an array of species. Human coppicing, grazing, and fire maintain this architecture; other species gather to make it their own. For intellectual work, this seems just right. Work in common creates the possibilities of particular feats of in- dividual scholarship. To encourage the unknown potential of scholarly advances—like the unexpected bounty of a nest of mushrooms—re- quires sustaining the common work of the intellectual woodland

My department friends got me the greatest birthday gift of all: kerning.
An image of a coffin shaped felt letter board. It says "Enter freely and of your own will" which is what Dracula says to Jonathan when he gets to the castle

The map is the map for real reasons.
A map of reported lynchings in the United States sorted by the race of the victim. There's essentially no blank areas in the South.
