Hello all you new followers! I'm a book historian/PhD candidate in Information Science. I work on bookselling/ownership in EM Navarre, Spain; the intersection of ILS+Book History; & applying quant and digital methods to Book History. I mostly post #DH, #DHmakes, #BookHistory, & quilting things!

Incredibly powerful opinion chronicling the awfulness in Whipple and the ways it interfered with the right to counsel.
One key part of the ruling (that ICE will likely appeal ASAP); Judge Brasel bars ICE from transferring anyone out of Minnesota within 72 hours of arrest.

Shout out to the student journalists that have tirelessly covered their professors' ties to Epstein. My job would be much harder without them. See thread for some of my favorite recent student news pieces.

Switching from Navarre work to Newton work this evening, apparently Newton wrote down a "cure" for nose bleeds and what seems to be menstruation documented by Robert Boyle:
"By this may be cured profuse bleedings at the nose, & weomen[sic] *at other parts*"

But I do despise how in-text citations can break up the flow of reading (looking at you social science articles with 20 papers in a single in-text citation!!!). I think if I was a humanist in a humanities dept., I'd be doing normal Chicago.

I get that with the initial footnote since you get full info, but after that point, it feels no better than in-text since you might have to go hunt for the first full one unless there is a bibliography! (cf. me hunting for the first footnote in some Spanish books recently with no bibs)

I settled on Chicago author-date for both my proposal and dissertation because it works well with both the social science and humanities bits of my stuff. And Chicago has way more style guidance. But I do my archival sources via footnote because those are waaaay too long for an in-text citation

The thing I have come over to about APA in the course of the PhD is how easy it is to cite/gesture at a whole work. It feels weird and wrong to cite things without a page number in Chicago note-style and MLA

Hey y'all.
A South African dev released a blackity black game during BHM and it's currently getting the usual suspects in the reviews.
Imma grab this up myself anyway, but can we all be some chums and help push the racists out of the reviews? 🙂

Doing APA or Chicago author-date in-text citations with early modern texts is one of my favorite things bc you get things like (Wingate 2025; Nebrija 1525). And here I even got to stick in a signature since there's no pagination in the preliminaries! #BookHistory

Analysis: Weeks before he set foot on the stage, Bad Bunny’s halftime performance had already become a media event.
But if you were looking for political commentary, the closest that you got was when he said “God bless America” in English.

Analysis | Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl halftime show was expected to provoke. Did it?
The Bad Bunny Super Bowl show nodded to injustices in Puerto Rico but mostly evoked wholesome family values that meshed with the more sentimental commercials.
