Timeline cleanse: Long bus delay and a young woman and I got chatting. She started school when she arrived here age 11. A college student, she's now a decorated poet and nat'l competition winner. Plans? Law school and working at the UN. She will. There is still hope for us, even us olds if we listen

I spend a lot of time thinking about how to write about Chicago, especially right now, and the late, great Tony Fitzpatrick gave me a perfect metaphor: Chicago is a boxer. dansinker.com/posts/202…

I got no answers for you but so so much sympathy. It is such a hard road to be on.

Been working on a large establishment today - they've just completed a £14,000,000 car park and the construction company have said that they can't allow any road salt there as it is a steel structure. Every car that drives in will be dripping a water / salt solution in it come winter. £14,000,000

Learn about the great cartoonist and illustrator Ethyl Hays. colleendoran.substack.com/p/ethyl-hays

A summary of the career of cartoonist Ethyl Hays: After years of war, the American public clamored for optimistic, light-hearted entertainment. Ethel Hays captured this spirit with her drawings of young, liberated American girls. The Hays heroines were sleek, well-dressed, athletic, exuberant flappers. Her peerless draughtsmanship and elegant linework, combined with her penchant for pretty girls, made Hays one of the most popular cartoonists of the time. Features a snippet of one of her cartoons showing a spoof of male and female 1920's dressing modes.

Little distressing to google a Stegmüller number of a biblical commentary and get pages of links to Smith and Wesson pistols...

THREAD. A collection of photographs of excellent sheep I have met on walks.

You will find the captions to each photo in the alt text.

A morbidly inclined sheep, who likes to hang around in graveyards, detests parties and owns original pressings of the entire classic run of Leonard Cohen LPs from 1967-1974.

Ryan's an absolute gem I agree! As I understand it, the press will be running promo too, but given my schedule now I had the time to do this today and had to leap on it--can now RT when the press starts theirs heh.

Kathleen E. Kennedy @themedievaldrk.bsky.social · 1d

tyty! It's ambitious and very new but hopefully will be useful, even if just to argue against lol. idk about UK distribution, I'll ask about that, BUT it WILL be available OA on the Concordia website by the summer, so electronically available for sure (and I expect eventually to the UK too in paper)

Kathleen E. Kennedy @themedievaldrk.bsky.social · 1d

The press process has been an absolute game-changer too, Shannon--so humane at every stage! You can be proud of your press!

Kathleen E. Kennedy @themedievaldrk.bsky.social · 1d

I hope the media people see it. I hope the medievalists and book people see it. We'll see.
