Last night at the @batashoemuseum's exhibition launch for "Exhibit A," co-curated by @AMatthewsdavid, I learned that the "sneaker" comes from sneaking around undetected. A great exhibition on footwear and crime and a dive into the speakeasy. Be sure to check it out.

Goofy, we’re so glad to hear that you greeted Dr. Gammel on campus. But make sure to visit our MLC Archive as we have many modernist periodicals featuring your fluffy friends. 🐕🐩

[Irene Gammel @MLC_Research]

Walking the @TorontoMet campus on this bright sunny March day, talking with many faculty, staff, and students. At Gold & Victoria streets, I'm greeted by Goofy, who LOVES the smell of hot dogs! 🌭 I told Goofy he should run for the official TMU campus dog race. Go Goofy Go!

"Fiction offers freedom and play for the writer," says @amywaldman. Non-fiction is about the facts but doesn't always reveal the truth. What an amazing class visit by the author of the powerful post-9/11 novel The Submission. Very inspirational!

Our MLC Quilt Task Force Member Sarah Durland shares a quilt section from the 1840s in this Durland family heirloom. 🪡 We are marvelling at the rich fabric, the artful embroidery, and the longevity of this object. #Familyarchive #quilts

"Many thanks, too, for Ulysses in Paris. It recalls the moment when Miss Harriet Weaver brought us the MS of Ulysses and we tried without success to get an English printer to print it."
