We’re celebrating 250 years of Jane Austen in 2025! The “For Love or Money? Jane Austen at 250” exhibit at Baker-Berry Library was created by students in professor @carolyndever.bsky.social’s Reading Jane Austen first-year seminar, showcasing their deep engagements with four of the author’s novels.

I got laid off today, with the rest of 18F.

18F was an elite federal software shop. We made gov't websites work better, more efficiently for the American people. We saved taxpayers from getting screwed over by contractors. And were fired for it.

We made this website to tell our story:

I wrote this piece in The Nation about the cuts at WVU and how small states will crush their R1 unis to cash grab for big tech. WVU is the only R1 in WV and these cuts will shred higher ed in the state. Please read and share.
