crowdsourcing for my MA students: do you have a scanning app you like for archives? I used turboscan and save documents as pdfs within box/folder folder system in dropbox that mirrors the archive's system--but is there something newer/better that you do and that works?

Washington Warned Us About Trump Our first president valued national unity and feared a despot who would exploit "the ruins of public liberty." A reminder for this Presidents’ Day.

It's as if he was looking into a crystal ball.

Our first president warned abt remaining united & being on the lookout for a despot who β€œagitates the community with ill founded jealousies and false alarms, kindles the animosity of one part against another, foments occasionally riot and insurrection”

If you are wondering what words the all-male Congress found so "blasphemous" that they felt compelled to literally scrape them off the monument, they were: ''Woman, first denied a soul, then called mindless, now arisen, declared herself an entity to be reckoned.''

Hosting Mardi Gras at Home? These Classic New Orleans Cocktails Bring Big Easy Vibes Anywhere Did someone say French 75?

I had an Obituary Cocktail at Fives bar to kick off Mardi Gras weekend, and I somehow made it to throw beads and more in the Iris parade!
