Inflatable animals and eucharistic processions do different things and reach different audiences and communicate different messages and it's all important. This feels like one of those moments where people need to remember not everything is for them, specifically.

Yes, he could write, and he *cared* about writing! And a very distinctive voice, which became increasingly personal over time.

Jenny Shaw on The Women of Rendezvous. Or Keith Wrightson Ralph Tailers Summer. Both great microhistories that are good reads but open up worlds - so methodologically helpful

The public meltdown happening between the world’s richest man 🙄 and the President of the United States 🙄🙄 once again begs the age-old question: are men simply too emotional to be in positions of power?

Here is Senator Alex Padilla's entire full statement after being detained by Donald Trump and Kristi Noem's Department of Homeland Security.

Like he said, if they're doing this to a sitting Senator, imagine what they're doing to other people.

Unconscionable.

This is what Trump's government thugs are willing to do in broad daylight, to a US Senator, with cameras on.

They are sending the message that anyone who disagrees with Trump isn't safe in America.

This is authoritarianism.

An English mother (Mary Morgan) in India in 1779 writing to her aunt about the importance of “inoculating” her toddler son against smallpox: “the catching of it is very dangerous.” Yep.

Cutting lines or even whole departments is the frontal assault on higher ed, but another low key war of attrition is the slow accumulation of grinding, meaningless additional tasks concerning syllabus templates, learning outcomes, institutional pablum, and ever more intricate evaluation hoops.

I did! That's what made me remember it. Pinter had been invited to do something at Brown (honorary degree, I dunno) and they appear to have forgotten until too late that his wife was a scholar and writer. So David went downtown and had coffee with her, and then Pinter joined.
