Pleasantly surprised to see that my chapter, “Paper: A Sonic Archaeology of Some Vegetable Fibers,” for Unsound Supplies: Noisy Matter and the Making of Modern Soundscapes (OUP) is already online: academic.oup.com/book/61568/c...
It is a history of paper’s many (attempted) uses as a sonic material.

supplystudies.com/research-gui... Didn't realize this was online--I worked on this research guide for supply chain investigations in 2023-24 with @mhockenberry.bsky.social, and I think we did some pretty good work with it!

News editors reflexively use photos of container ships to accompany articles on foreign trade. In reality, much more of America’s exports to the EU ($370 billion last year) travel by air than in seaborne containers. The same is true with U.S. exports to China.

The EU said it will put its retaliation measures against new U.S. tariffs on hold for 90 days and leave room for a negotiated solution.

As we all know, NEH funding was already almost inexpressibly meager. It bears repeating that they’ve targeted NEH and IMLS exactly because they’ve been *incredibly* efficient at spurring new thought, writing, and community-building.
