I do want to add - thanks to this course, my cataloging for the 1490 Mishneh Torah that Congressman Adam Schiff swore on a few days ago, was greatly enhanced thanks to @aarontpratt.bsky.social and the course he taught at @calrbs.bsky.social

My first day teaching at @calrbs.bsky.social was a BLAST!!! My students are so cool (and also stylish). I can’t believe I have this opportunity to teach this thing that I made up 🥹

CalRBS has two codes to this site available. Do you know of a book, library, academic, or professional organization that needs one? Would like to facilitate more organizational/society activity here!

When @sarahpyke.bsky.social and I put the #QueerBibliography CFP together last year, we could never have imagined that it'd become an annual event. Very excited for QB 2024 which will be hosted by @calrbs.bsky.social. (And for future events in other locations: 2025 and 2026 are already spoken for!)
