pre-writing a devastating obituary for your enemy is god-tier hating of a kind you don’t often see anymore. renaissance haterism. beautiful stuff.
A Sharon Begley byline, almost 5 years after her death.
Upon hearing the news James Watson had died, a STAT reporter said in our Slack, "I wish I could read what Sharon would have written."
Incredible news: Sharon in fact did pre-write a Watson obit. And it is masterful and excoriating.

Looking forward to being back in Leuven and at KADOC for this seminar on the Catholic Church and the city at the turn of the 20th century. My paper is looking at the parishes constituted in the Dublin diocese between 1890-1910, and the identity of the ‘workers’ parish’. @ulhistory.bsky.social
