The moon going from full moon to a red moon and starting to go back to a normal full moon, then my camera battery door fell off.
Here's my first edit on the March 3rd Lunar Eclipse. 15 moon shots, 1 foreground. Taken over a 3 hourish period.
Uranium glass no less!
Make this two journal articles and a book contract!
Things have been a little stressful recently, and yet I have somehow managed to pull together 2 forthcoming journal articles! Both deal with the politics of knowledge literature for popular audiences, amid 19c tensions about who gets to participate in the making of scientific knowledge-and why 📚 🔭 🐛
Well now we know what they did with all that work of ours our publishers/ academia dot edu sold to Big AI without our consent...
Watch this space for more soon!

My lightbulb moment with Long Covid "brainfog" was when they noticed it was substantially similar to "chemo brain"& I wish there were more research into it. I've experienced both, and while I've experienced the long-term effects shapeshift they are so little taken account of, I feel, in both cases.

Brainwashing, 2026 edition. This paper shows how X's algorithmic feed shifts people's views rightwards. It's a sophisticated, highly effective form of reorientation. And it is utterly chilling.

Thrilled HSS/ESHS have accepted my paper "In science we trust?: Hagiography, and the ethics of trust in constructing the public scientist" on our proposed session "Trust, Distrust, Faith and Disbelief" - who else is going to Edinburgh? #histsci #scicomm
I was once told that the Book of Revelation (shortened to "Revelation" in footnotes) was actually "RevelationS" & a work called the "Principles of Psychology" ought to be spelled "Principals" (this person was a native speaker, and they were adamant). I imagine your person's reviews are like that...
This is why humanities students *read* conference papers& write essays with ChatGPT: b/c they're anxious about being judged for something dumb like that that's absolutely no reflection on their intellectual capabilities, and actually an insult to them.
Feedback like that serves absolutely no one.
What is the point of that? Peer review should aim to filter out shoddy research/methodologies, and make sure, publications that do go through, are best it can be.
And honestly: who among us has never submitted an MS with editing errors?
I've found this to be specifically a humanities issue: science & industry publishing just delete stuff like that and move on, no judgment, we're all busy- whereas humanities peer reviewers give these big long scolding sermons over...nothing, as if it's some intellectual deficit & you're an imposter?
about "unreadable" passages ... full of erroneous language". One such "unreadable passage" (which is highlighted) reads "It begins It begins"- clearly an editing error (that, ok, shouldn't have happened) but instead of writing a condescending piece of prose they...could've just deleted the phrase?
I sometimes don't understand humanities peer reviewers. Recently got a v gentle revise & resubmit, basically the review should have read "here's 5 awkward sentences, and maybe you can add a line or two about this background thing" (which is fine) - instead I get a strongly worded wall of text...
