My eyes cannot get big enough

Ooo! It's this a thread where we can show our photos of magnified wood? Because I have some pretty pictures of 1000 year old wood charcoal. But I respect if it's mainly a fossil photo thread.

😆 My friends who love her Temeraire books also love the rest of them, so I feel confident in reccing them! I particularly love the Scholomance trilogy, but her folk and fairy tale retellings are really great too. Especially Spinning Silver.

I've done it! I finished Critical Role Campaign 1!!!

It took me a long time because it was my working-in-the-lab show and sometimes I don't work in the lab.

I'm happy to share my thoughts of anyone is interested because I sure have them!!

Gabrielle Zevin Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow. Andy Weir Project Hail Mary. All of Naomi Novik (except hey dragon stuff, but that's a me thing). Most of Taylor Jenkins Reid. T. Kingfisher is coming out with a new book soon that's on my list...

Same! I cannot listen to the sexy parts of romance.

The best audiobook in have ever listened to is Lincoln in the Bardo.

For books that I've enjoyed in no particular order: Rebecca Makai The Great Believers and I Have Some Questions. Emily Tesh Some Desperate Glory.

Publications by Non-Tenure-Track Historians Since we began publishing in 2019, Contingent has assembled lists of books and articles by non-tenure-track historians released in that calendar year, and we’re doing the same this year for 2023 pu...

It's that time of year again! We're collecting monographs, journal articles, and book chapters published in 2023 by historians working off the tenure track. Lists will be published the week after US Thanksgiving. Use the form to submit your work--or that of a friend! 🗃️

Same audiobooks. Different story. Libro.fm makes it possible for you to buy audiobooks directly through local bookstores.

What sort of books are you looking for?

Lincoln in the Bardo is an amazing audiobook.

Libro.fm works exactly like Audible but the money goes to an independent bookstore in the US. You can buy all released audiobooks as long as they aren't under Audible exclusive contracts.

Same! Every year I make sure to pick up her May/June release. It's a must read for me even though I usually go in very different directions with romance novels.

If you have any interest in Romance stories at all, Nora Roberts is the way to go. Her standalone books are TOTALLY compelling and never dumb. I recommend her romantic suspense novels to anyone who wants to read some good romance novels.

Russia is taking my friends one by one – and now I struggle even to write about them | Oleksandr M... In Ukraine, the second summer of the invasion has been a season of unbearable goodbyes: to our teachers, our artists and our loved ones, says Ukrainian writer Oleksandr Mykhed

"I can no longer write requiems for my fallen friends. It is becoming difficult for me to put pain into letters. Russia is taking away my friends and loved ones. Tearing out my heart piece by piece"

After all the effusive praise, I feel like maybe as a fan I don't do enough? It's a very weird feeling to feel from Dropout.

Observation from my international colleagues: "Americans have so many friends! They are always refering to people as friends!" Do Americans have a cultural habit of counting more people as friends than other cultures? Or do I work with very friend-conservative colleagues?

Blasphemy!!!!

It's important to note that I'm pretty sure I will always know language 2 much better than language 3, but I will use language 3 way more often than language 2.

After spending 3/4 of life bilingual, I have recently moved to a country where I am trying to become passibly fluent in a third language. Some days I have no idea WHAT language I'm thinking in, especially when I try to think in language 2 but 3 bubbles up unexpectedly!

I can't wait to see @jwcartwright.bsky.social on D20. He is a delight. As a traveler on the D20-->Naddpod-->3BH-->Transplanar (@byconniechang.bsky.social) pipeline I want it to be strong and fruitful forever.

I love both of them!

Once upon a time I was part of a collective action that formed a union with UAW. Solidarity forever.

I came on here to rep Inkscape! When I was screwed over by Adobe licensing while writing my dissertation (university didn't renew their license) I vowed I would only use Inkscape and other open source programs. Gimp is the open source answer to Photoshop in case people need it!

Doesn't he haunt us all? Once introduced, you can never escape.

Shush you... we are all 25. Not that I want to be 25 again, but I certainly don't want to be grown up advisor age either!

Awesome time in Porto presenting at #Anthraco2023. Always nice to find a your very small academic niche. Photo credit: Stephanie Bodin. #archaeology #anthracology ⚱️
