In 1977, Vincent Price starred in a one-man-show where he played openly gay Oscar Wilde; it was condemned by Anita Bryant. When asked about her condemnation, Price replied that Wilde had already written a play about Anita: “A Woman of No Importance”

Tragic news today about the destruction of the library, archives, and collections of the Theosophical Society in Altadena amidst all of the horrific fires there.
For anyone tempted to identify this as Divine retribution, please remember that the Notre Dame Cathedral was also destroyed by fire.

22 metres in height and 12 metres in width, the Great East Window is the size of a tennis court! At the time of its installation in the 1350s, it was the largest window in the world.

There are still a few weeks left in the year (though December is generally a quiet month for book proposals), but it looks like I’m going to close out 2024 with around 80% of total book proposals coming from men, 18% from women, and 2% from persons whose gender was not apparent/obvious.

Don't say you're going to work on the long flight. You're not going to do that, but don't worry you're not going to sleep either. Free yourself from your own lies, embrace chaos etc. Anyway hello from Sydney.

the use of the history of Japanese internment as a manual rather than as a cautionary tale really sums up where we're at politically

"Even the most alpha scientist at a conference is only two perceived slights away from re-living their first year of grad school."
Welcome all.
Life in academia is particularly hard right now.
Toward a modest improvement, consider sending Kudos Emails.
Reach out to a stranger and say you liked their paper. This small mitzvah can make a world of difference.
I’ve seen it happen.

This is a photograph of my great uncle, Jim Ida, in 1942. The photograph was taken by Dorothea Lange as part of her documentation of the Japanese American incarceration. He is sitting with his family’s bags, waiting to be taken to an internment camp. (Tanforan, I believe.) He was 17.

‘The legend lives on from the Chippewa on down of the big lake they call Gitche Gumee’
Thus began the ballad from Gordon Lightfoot about Lake Superior, the large freighter vessel known as The Edmund Fitzgerald, and the 29 sailors who lost their lives. This isn’t ancient history; it happened in 1975
