A person working with a stick, trying to put freshly printed paper sheets on a line or wooden object near the ceiling of a print shop. Nearby, the pressmen are doing their work at the printing press. This scene is from the so-called hand-press era of early modern Europe.

He's hanging up the freshly printed paper sheets to dry - and rest for a few hours. Ink needed its time to dry, and one needed space to let it dry. #bookhistory

Enjoy this view into an #earlymodern print shop, and be reminded of the many (small) steps that made in the end a physical 'book'.

His comments were magisterial.

My Beppe had a picture of her and Juliana in her kitchen.

Also why does my iPad autocorrect boy to bow?

I am not a political scientist but I am a historian who thinks a lot about martial masculinity and bow howdy has the last week been a lot about that!

People on FB asked me to share this. Too long for a text post.

When I (a Celtics fan) went to a 76ers game in grad school. All my friends made me swear by all that was holy not to say one damn word. I quickly learned the wisdom of their advice.

I've heard rumors that Philadelphia is next for the ICE invasion after Minneapolis.
Maybe I'm wrong, but
1) More than 11% of all ICE agents are in Minneapolis, and they've utterly failed to pacify the city.
2) Philly is 5x the size of Minneapolis.
3) "Minnesota nice" is a thing. We don't have that.

Because the world is just awful right now, I bring you something beautiful. A peacock from an 11th century book of hours:

Once on a journal editors panel with STEM editor. He was utterly shocked that as a doctoral advisor I did not put my name on my students’ articles. “Didn’t you read them?” “Ofc” “well you need to be on the article then” “umm no. Not how it works” he was simply stunned.

I feel like I really win.

The opening paragraph (as a writer) is simply a joy. Iranians and mayonnaise. Did not see that coming.

About Last Night: MAGA Reeks of Death There are nights in politics when the country leans over, taps you on the shoulder, and says, “I told you I was sick of this.” Last night was one of those nights.

I really enjoyed our conversation.

That is awesome. I had a senior class last year create new wikipedia pages for women from history who deserved a page but did not have one yet.

All I get is a guy who writes (well) about sports for Esquire, and Naomi is out here being a superhero!

Do not mess with Germans and their dogs!

That’s like a toddler win, a mom win, and a gramma win all wrapped up in one little dress!

The memorial sessions at SCSC will be out in either ARG or CHRC (I forget which). They were magnificent. Mack Holt and MWH won the day though. I would put a decal on my computer. I’m looking for an Andor one now! She’d have liked Andor.

I feel like there is a market out there for Team NZD tshirts or stickers for laptops.
