Yep

I just watched this on another thread and then I just googled them all

So so bad. Edmonton School Board’s list seems to have been a tactic to dramatize how ridiculous the legislation is? Gotta think ESB is pretty progressive.

I'm joining Quakers Fast for Gaza. Not that my refraining from eating, in the midst of plenty, will feed a single starving person. But perhaps it will put pressure on the US and international community to stop facilitating genocide. Join me?

Just saw this, reeling

The Danes Resisted Fascism, and So Can We Danish resistance didn’t arrive all at once during World War II. But taken as a whole, the Danes’ actions are a testament to what’s possible when we work together to fight fascism.

"When asked to betray your integrity: hold fast to your ideals, gum up the works, disobey when able. Question everything, say nothing. Keep meticulous records. Leverage your advantages and harbor those who have none. Get in the way. Tell the story. Archive the truth." Link in comments.

haha, my second post crossed with this. FUN FUN FUN

Creepy: Funeral in my Brain, Because Stop for Death, My Life Had Stood a Loaded Gun. Sapphic: Going to Her--Happy Letter! (this was the original pronoun, later changed for publication), Wild Nights, Ourselves Were Wed One Summer. FUN.

Not a 19th-century specialist, but have taught GM in conjunction with creepy sapphic Dickinson poems. It's great.

We're serving a Vichy-like regime at Texas public universities now, and increasingly, this is true across the country.

Keeping the Texas DREAM The CrisisOn June 4, 2025, the Department of Justice (DOJ) sued the State of Texas to block the Texas Dream Act, a 24-year-old in-state college tuition law. Just hours after the DOJ filed the lawsuit ...

Undocumented students in Texas are facing a new law stripping them of their in-state tuition rate, even though they are Texas residents. (At UT Austin, the difference is from $11K to $$48K.) Student status also unlocks jobs and rent money. Please help if you can.

Right-Wing Crackdowns Drive Academics Away From UT and the U.S. Staff morale, federal funds, and state confidence dry up

It's very Vichy over here. I don't know how to do a good job of this job I love anymore, except by trying to mitigate the worst harms--which in itself is something of a moral injury.

I had a chance to read your essay in draft, Robbie, and thought it was great. It led me to read your book, which I then discussed in a forthcoming essay in ALH on important trends in 18th century studies. I love it when our projects bring us into new conversations.

4.6 Billion Years On, the Sun Is Having a Moment In the past two years, without much notice, solar power has begun to truly transform the world’s energy system.

Believe it or not...an encouraging article from Bill McKibben. Apparently solar and wind power are increasing geometrically and are now cheaper than fossil fuels, and on track to be more widely used, very quickly. This cheered me up. YMMV.

Audain Museum, Whistler, BC. O how I love a mountain town.

Vancouver. Yummy.

Art, scenery, family, outdoors. Visit to BC was like a beautiful dream.

Sounds like we need a gossipy lunch! (All the good info on Delany is gossip.) Maybe at MLA? I'll be there bc my kid lives in Toronto now

We appreciate you!

Love Joyce Wieland. I wrote a review of her show at the Agnes Etherington Gallery at Queen's in the 1980s and I still have the catalog(ue).

SUCH good news!

O Canada

So good!

post link to column pls!

You'll get RFK to write a forward, of course?

Just like with Mad Men, I could never skip the credit sequence
