It's true: I wrote a book. And what's more, the book is done and soon you'll be able to own a copy. And what's more more, if you want a hard copy you can order one for 50% off now, with the code SAR50. And if you want it digitally, it'll be open access!

I really do need to find someone to pay me to teach my c19-20 book history/bibliography class here in Atlanta. I mean probably when I have bandwidth I’ll do it on my own because I believe in the value of the class but it would be nice to get paid for it!

I do not know of a single public university president or chancellor who has even _tried_ making this point to the student body and their parents. It is such a pathetic abdication of leadership
Here is UW - Madison's budget. Our <largest> funder is the federal government. 25%. It used to be the state. Either way, the university in its current form ceases to exist if these federal cuts really happen. But The. Public. Doesn't. Know. This. And our leaders are absent from the public debate.

So captivated by this Lavender Baedecker from the @roselibraryemory.bsky.social collections. Circa early 1960s. Of course I had to look up Birmingham to see where the gay bar used to be
