It's been a heavy week! The only heaviness these otters have to worry about is the weight of their favorite object. Rock on, otters! 🪨🦦

Honestly, I’ve been monitoring severe weather conditions instead of politics tonight, and the NWS alerts are not as clear or descriptive as they usually are. ⛈️
You will feel SO much better and more energized & inspired watching this extraordinary array of voices giving the “State of the People,” than watching Trump’s performance.

None of us can be sure what will “work.” You try multiple things and find your way in. Read some histories of the Civil Rights Movement by those who participated. They were never “sure” of what would work. Some campaigns fizzled out. But persistence, creativity, determination, and focus were key.

Great piece on university presses now: “The publishers who don’t run away.”
Excited to have a new piece in the Chronicle of Higher Ed (@chronicle.com). I’ve been in so many exchanges with people who’ve never heard anything happy about university presses. So I wrote an essay to share with them.

The focus on efficiency and innovation misses the point: We are producing fabulous books.
