I think you mean .75 years.

Hooray! Congrats!

And then the text on the chemically-treated fax paper gradually disappears if you don't photocopy it first!

We were just there last week!

@septa-social.bsky.social There’s no sign at 3rd and Market indicating that the 17 is not stopping there. Several people waiting on it as it made this detour.

I’m sitting at a restaurant table, holding a blue plastic shark over a tall iced drink with a yellow straw.

Nature is wild, man – v. 2678, part B. This is near Robert Smithson’s Spiral Jetty, on the Great Salt Lake.

Image shows a screenshot of two tweets discussing the film "Autopsy." The first tweet from @RiversAreDamp expresses a desire to talk about the film's ending. The second tweet from @cccamac mentions confusion about that ending.

Happy anniversary, @cccamac.bsky.social! We “met” on Twitter 16 years ago today.

In 2008, my mother donated a box of family records to the Holocaust Museum. Do I know anyone who can visit the reading room in Bowie, MD & make scans? Compensated, of course. Recommendations welcome! collections.ushmm.org/search/catal...

That seems likely. 😉

So cute! ❤️❤️❤️

So very sad for my alma mater. Some of the most prestigious programs. Not shown here, but I understand the world famous Historical Performance Institute (Early Music Institute when I was there) will no longer be accepting majors either.

Done!

post a ten year old pic of yourself

Dozens of cats were wondering that too! =^..^=

It screeches like an eagle, has a replica Lombardi Trophy, and is the most sought-after ride in Philly. Unless you’re a Cowboys fan. You’ll likely hear Mucha Nama’s minivan before you see it. From playing “Fly, Eagles Fly” to adorning it with decorations, his Birds mobile is a hit — for most of his customers.

I actually got this driver and his Eagles-themed car on a Lyft ride home one night in April. It was so wild! I wasn’t sure @riversaredamp.bsky.social would believe me so I recorded a bit of the ride to show him. I’ll post my video in the thread.

“and perhaps more importantly, earmarking additional grant funds to digitize and make available content.”

Agree, completely. At my archives the same dozen already digitized on the web images and videos are requested again and again over efforts to see what else we have that requires digitization.

Who stole the ‘gayest’ truck in Philadelphia? A 14,000 lb. flatbed truck with pink lashes and red lips that belonged to the Bearded Ladies was stolen from Mt. Airy.

Hey fellow terminated #NEH fellows @nehgov.bsky.social @altnehgov.altgov.info Sharing my #NEH Appeal of Termination, which I uploaded into the eGMS system. Mine is for an individual fellowship. Another example below. It is recommended that if you were terminated you get an appeal in today.

“Kinda-sorta hand”?

So we did a thing… 🧵

You’ve heard about the erasing of LGBTQ history on National Park Service websites. Egregious changes made to the Stonewall National Monument site (erasing all instances of trans and queer) & the disappearance of resources like the monumental “LGBTQ America” theme study.

They’ve included a *non-governmental email address* to receive “only urgent questions.”

These rumors have been confirmed, Blueskis.

I am enraged.

Latin Americanists and foreign film buffs: Trying to ID a Latin American film. Only have a meter of 35mm film. Might be titled PRESTAMOS. Kodak edge code suggests copy made in 1922, 1942, or 1962. Perhaps actors, military uniform, or locale will help with ID.
