Mr. Burns’s mayoral hopes tanked *overnight* when he spit out that bite of radioactive fish. It was a different world.

Ever since we took a family trip to Sweden six years ago and I friended a bunch of distant aunts and cousins on Facebook, my feed looks like this every Midsommar.

Who’s this porker who shoves the woman with the cellphone for no good reason? (And then I guess arrests her ... for getting shoved?) I bet he’s well known to local bakery employees.

I got an out-of-office email today from a librarian at Columbia University, where the medieval manuscript I recently edited is housed, and it concluded with this message.
Columbia’s administration might not know what time it is, but its librarians do.

![Email message:
In the meantime, for anyone planning a visit to Columbia’s Rare Book & Manuscript Library, please note:
• Per the university's protocol for ICE visits to campus, ICE can enter non-public Columbia spaces without a warrant if there is a perceived “risk of imminent harm to … property.”
• On 8 March 2025, Columbia University allowed ICE to abduct SIPA '24 student Mahmoud Khalil, a lawful permanent resident of the United States, from Columbia-owned housing. (You can read the Columbia Spectator’s coverage here.)
• If you are not affiliated with Columbia, your access to campus will be predicated on registration of your name, email, and planned movements on campus with Columbia Public Safety.
• On Friday, 21 March, Columbia announced the hiring of “36 special officers who will have the ability to remove individuals from campus and/or arrest them” and that Columbia would “continue to rely on [their] relationship with the NYPD to provide additional security assistance.”
We don't know who can expect to be safe on Columbia campus or on Columbia-owned property right now.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:5mgvukmad66covy4gft55yaw/bafkreig3pjhp3g7dbw6dme2bi5ewotfsj3j3xcjevgoyn5jjudiaqoozuu@jpeg)

Yes, but Tressie McMillan Cottom is brilliant, and Masha Gessen is as clear-eyed about the way fascism operates as anyone you’ll ever read. I mean, this was cold.

A nice tribute in the NYT Book Review to my former boss, the legendary children's editor and founder of Greenwillow Books, Susan Hirschman -- from one of her author-illustrators, Kevin Henkes. I can confirm that her office really was a wonderland of books and toys.

Hi, new Bluesky friends. I have a book coming out soon from @mip-medpub.bsky.social, titled The English Apocalypse: A 14th-Century Translation of the Book of Revelation.
Here's a sneak peek of the cover image, taken from a manuscript at the Cloisters. (My daughter, a big fan of dragons, loves it.)
