My lack of presence is entirely due to professional chaos. From planning collections moves to conserving our miniatures collection to working on the huge music exhibit opening in September, life is insane(ly good in some ways). I miss writing and sleeping, but this might be worth it. 🤞

So @xeshema.bsky.social made an absolutely gorgeous 😍 custom leather notebook portfolio for me (with pockets!). This lovely artisan deserves all the commissions!

Stoked to finally have a copy of Women in the History of Science: A Sourcebook! Diving into familiar favorites and finding new treasures this snowy week ❤️

So if you happen through Evansville, IN, the Gerst Haus Bavarian is a MUST if for no other reason than this from-scratch, Heaven-sent pretzel that even @captainizzy.bsky.social couldn’t conquer. 🥨
