The introduction alone is a master piece and a must teach in every class
ask them if they know Gloria Steinem or better yet, show them her picture with Dorothy Pitman Hughes and ask them if they know who these women are. You’d be surprised.
Wrote new 1000 words in a new chapter. #SpringForward. #amwriting
It's a combination of a few songs, not just Bella Ciao, which makes it even more powerful. Thank you for sharing.
AI also hallucinated an article that I wrote. and while I wish I had written it, the entire experience was really disorienting
I feel that 1200 words is the sweet spot for most things. And in most cases it can also be 1000. I can read and enjoy 3000 word pieces, but many could have easily be 1200
The most depressing thing is that the best chance for the first thing to happen is that the second thing will not.
Thank yo. I think they are doing a promotion of 14 months in the price of 12 until mid March, so now would pro be a good time to renew anyways :)
From Noah Wyle to Harrison Ford to SAG-AFTRA president Sean Astin, all reminded us that actors tell stories but that they are also workers, and as such they know the power of organizing and solidarity. And that unions matter. Art and labor are connected, always were. youtu.be/oqZNoxdX3qY?...
That’s even worse. Hoop skirts were *the improvement* to the petticoats. they were lighter and had more balance - why do shows cant read a fucking book about fashion
I can’t watch today, I will pick it up later in the week, but please #HATM tell me that the dress reform/suffrage line is not about how corsets are not comfortable???? Please tell me some fashion historian was consulted???? I’m not sure I can take another “corsets are awful” show
It is also frustrating that these “hidden heroes” get a nice little book together, but publishers reject more full analyses of these women or refuse to believe they can carry a book on their own, because in reality they are famous enough to have their own biography
March has come in with more administration lyin’, which means all the more reason to share my 265th #ScholarSunday thread of public scholarly writing, podcasts, new & forthcoming books from the last week. Add more below, share as widely as you can, & solidarity, all! 🗃️ +
I didn't even know you can get such a thing, you learn something every day
Mine is also not labeled “real id” even though it is called that way. It only have a star on it that indicates it is “real id”
Mine is from Ohio, but I always use it in domestic flights, never had a problem
Interzones was one of the best books I ever read that combined gender and urban history. What a huge loss to the field. His work was such an inspiration
Happy to share my first issue as the managing editor of Cleveland Art. It’s been only a little over 3 months since I started my job at the CMA, but it has been a great experience so far.
I approached the editor of the journal and they didn’t seem to care —what’s wrong with people?
It is weird. word also doesn’t like women designers - which is more my line of research. But with persistence we might be able to teach it to accept these qualifiers
I think word is fine with “female doctors” but I agree that we should stop treating women as animals and word should accept that
For basically the second part of January we had a second winter break because of snow/cold. I think we just gave up at some point. but the parents got so mad that I think now the district will never cancel school again this year.
I’ll try. this is so perplexing
Oh, the article is very real, but the citations (at least some) are fake
The day has arrived: I found a citation for an article of mine that I have never written (although I wish I had) in an academic publication (that was supposed to have gone peer-review). AI is among us in so many different ways.
This is basically a confession of guilt
In what would be a trifecta for today I ate dumplings, a king cake, and sweet pastries (that could be applied for ramadan/purim). I think I did my share (I also ordered Pączki from our favorite bakery in Cleveland to be picked up this weekend).
Exactly. I used to show students clips from T2 for my class, and was really surprised that none saw the movie. And I keep thinking about it everyday since AI took over. there are real implications for loosing cultural references. we are all going to regret it.
As always a great thread from @americanstudier.bsky.social to wrap up the week. And thank you for the mention
Dressmaking and fashion can be a radical, as well as a pleasurable activity, like it was for Rosa Parks. Check out my Black History Month #CommonThreads column for @satevepost.bsky.social on the dress that she made 🗃️
