I am, however, very excited to say that I am a bookseller again! Try as I might, there is no escape. Starting next week, you will find me (pictured) at Inquiring Minds (also pictured) in Saugerties, NY nearly every day. Come say hi! Send me galleys if you have ‘em!

After two fabulous years, today was my last day at @deepvellum.bsky.social. Proud to have played a small part in this org’s constant upward trajectory, and honored to have worked with such great people, incredible books, and brilliant authors & translators. I made a fun hat and a lot of memes. 1/

In Response to Today's Announcement Melanie J. Bernitz to STUDENTS-ALL-ULIFE Dear Students, I understand there may be questions and concerns about today's announcement regarding Interim President Armstrong's update to the community. These may be driven by certain incomplete or misleading media reports. Interim President Armstrong has been clear. She is committed to doing what is right for Columbia and never compromising our values of academic freedom, freedom of expression, open inquiry and respect for all. It is important to know that the updates in policy announced today have been in progress for many months. When she was appointed in August 2024, Interim President Armstrong laid out a set of key priorities and today launched a website to provide updates on our efforts. The University has been very transparent in sharing this information, including posting the document that was provided to our federal regulators in response to their March 13th letter. Some media reports and social media posts lack context and are often published with the goals of getting "clicks" and creating division within our community. They can create distress and anxiety, and don't always tell the full story. I encourage you to continue to refer to University communications to stay updated. Should you need additional support, you may access the resources below. As we head into the second half of the spring semester, it has never been more important to come together to focus on our academic pursuits and your success. Standing together for Columbia, Melanie Bernitz, MD, MPH Interim Executive Vice President, University Life Senior Vice President, Columbia Health Associate Clinical Professor of Medicine (in the Center for Family and Community Medicine)

do not bid to rent an apartment. class traitor behavior.
Manhattan apartment rents jump to record as bidding wars spread Bidding wars have become increasingly common in the hyper-competitive market, cultivated by real estate agents who urge potential tenants to offer to pay more than the asking price. Almost 27 per cent of last month's new leases were signed after bidding wars, a record share.
