I think about this almost everyday lately, rounding the age some of my mentors were. How busy they were, and in turn how generous their investments in my person were. How *young* they were to be looking out for me the ways they did.

That’s next month.
Still some stuff to say, but time has, as hoped, given perspective.

Take a moment, take heart, take what you need. From a class today titled Empire, Nation, and Immigration using 1968 Paris Protest posters from the Ludlow-Santo Domingo collection:

Today, I talked with students about asemic writing, which is a thing I learned about in grad school and can never remember the name of when I need to. Here, now you can look at this and always forget what it’s called, too:
