@fstflofscholars Right back at you! I took these pics for my brother in Seattle. Irises always remind us of our Great Aunt Berenice, born in 1906. She grew them in her enormous garden. Who do your patch make you think of?

Today would be my radical mom’s 99th birthday. Use her papers for projects on migrant labor, second wave feminism, domestic violence, disability and more @UIowaLibraries And guess who in this photo is Shirley M. Sandage (1927-2012)

With all the attention paid to Prediction Markets in recent days, it’s a good time to bump this article on the work of Jackson Lears. Some of us are reading Lears’ 2003 book “Something For Nothing” and this piece by Christopher Caldwell is a good complement to that. https://t.co/qP5eNb796q

@RichardPCondon Wow. The things that thrill us.

Not everyone needs to, nor wants to, use LLMs in academic research, and Taylorizing the scholarly enterprise does nothing positive for the pursuit of a better understanding of society and the world.

The world-renowned acoustic duo of Jay Ungar and Molly Mason will perform several songs throughout the day during our March 21 symposium. You've heard their song #AshokanFarewell featured in Ken Burns' documentary on the #CivilWar -- and they will perform it for us!

This year's ALI Book Award winner is "Born Equal: Remaking America’s Constitution, 1840–1920" by Akhil Amar -- the definitive history of how the ideal of birth equality reshaped the Constitution, from debates over slavery and secession, to emancipation, to women’s suffrage.

@gabridli @BarryBienstock and the late great @janellenlewis had their books organized by color in Maplewood NJ, and it was GLORIOUS. I’d be talking to Jan about, say, rural capitalism, and she’d holler up the stairs, “BARRY! Can you look in Orange for Hahn and Prude?”

I'm continually grateful that I have never seen any bookshelves organized by color

@raulpacheco If I could ban five, they would be posit, privilege, foreground, eponymous, and curate (in the hipster sense).
