Graffito on a page in a copy of Tristram Shandy: a line drawing in profile of Slawkenbergius, recognizable because of his large nose.
Niche but cool. I mentioned in class that there was little evidence that #18thc readers had ever responded to the invitation tendered by the blank page in Tristram Shandy & drawn the Widow Wadman. & then a student revealed the portrait of Slawkenbergius she found inscribed into her copy of our novel

Willow Boughs designed in 1887 is one of William Morris instantly recognisable patterns. Entwining stems and delicate willow leaves combine in this enduring design which defines Morris's abiding reputation.

beautiful piece by my friend Hugh Foley on Ashbery and grief:
Very little has changed in my conception of what the ideal life might look like. You sing a song and this provides for you to sit with your friends a little while.

“If you wanted to create a tool that would enable the destruction of institutions that prop up democratic life, you could not do better than AI. Authoritarian leaders & tech oligarchs are deploying AI systems to hollow out public institutions with an astonishing alacrity.”

This is my first attempt to capture a live event of this size.
I’m thankful to @dan-sinnamon.bsky.social & @johannawinant.bsky.social for letting me adapt the launch of their tremendous book.
I think these episodes will be an additive supplement to it.

Distraught woman says ICE killed her wife in video after deadly Minneapolis shooting "They killed my wife," the distraught woman says, adding, "They shot her in the head." An ICE agent shot and killed a 37-year-old woman who was driving an SUV in Minneapolis on Wednesday. / Screenshot/@Breaking911
"They killed my wife. I don't know what to do," the woman says through sobs in the footage, with a damaged SUV visible in the distance behind her. "We stopped to videotape, and they shot her in the head," the woman cries. "We have a six-year-old at school," she says, almost unable to breathe, as a chaotic scene in which federal officers prevented at least one doctor who was on the scene from assisting the shot victim unfolds. "We're new here," the distraught woman says in despair.
You and your wife drop your 6-year-old off at school. You just moved here. You see ICE terrorizing your new neighbors. You film them, as is your legal right. Your wife complies with orders. She is then shot in the head. You still have to pick up your child later today.
This could be you.
I wasn’t sure they were going to publish this. So good for them.

Poor @erinbartram.bsky.social is worried abt the black box thumbnail but it feels representative of how challenging it was for @hartmann-villalta.bsky.social & I to compile the list this year.
Kudos to the authors! Pls read, cite, teach, buy, & share their work—& know there is much more out there!
A photo of a hand holding a yellow book with a cartoon image of a woman in a hat. The title of the book is The Best of Barbara Johnson and it lists some of Johnson's most important works, including Stick a Geranium in your Hat and Be Happy and Splashes of Joy in the Cesspools of Life.
I'll make shirts for anyone who wants one. Also, this is the image my student sent me that I tried unsuccessfully to email.

A blurb that misspells the author’s name: Glavely instead of Glavey
I’m into being adverbialized but it is funny to be in the sweet spot career-wise where people ask me to blurb their books and then misspell my name
