- *Incredible* drama between 16th-century shipbuilders
- Visual poetry about Thomas Becket
- VOLCANOES!

I stopped by the @uchicagopress.bsky.social table at #RSA2025 and they have a whole wonderful exhibit featuring Renaissance Quarterly! I got the last RQ umbrella swag, but there are still bookmarks - and of course, many books and other journals (we're in very good company!) 😍

On the walking trail near my house, someone left a lot of little ceramic creatures to greet you in various semi-hidden spots. I took these pictures this fall; some of them have since been washed away by the tides and weather, but they will live forever in my heart.
