New fountain pen day! This is a Pelikan Souveran M400 in red and black. I generally dislike plastic-bodied pens, but I tried the m200 and found the nib and balance so incredible I snapped up this gently-used M400 on a substantial discount. It's EF and I would have preferred F but it's still awesome.

Academic Coach Taylor: When you get that letter of acceptance it’s all worth it

From Helen Castor, “The Eagle and the Hart: The Tragedy of Richard II and Henry IV”

👀🤷🏻‍♂️ #WhatIsNewIsOld
and the common good. And that, for me, is what makes the tragic history of Richard II and Henry IV so chillingly resonant. Theirs is a story about what happens when a ruler demands loyalty to himself as an individual, rather than duty to the established constitution. When he seeks to create his own reality rather than concede the force of verifiable truths. When he demands that his own will should trump the rule of law. When he recognizes no interests other than his own. It's a story about the terrifying unpredictability of unfolding political crises; about the interplay of conflicts within states and between them; about the ways in which authority can be bent, shaped, and broken. Its drama is rooted in family and dynasty, 10/

This looks really incredible.

www.cambridge.org/core/journal...
This article examines the paradox of the humanities: they are simultaneously denigrated while non-humanities disciplines utilize (and champion) the very skills that are considered uniquely cultivated by a humanities education. My examination reveals that with the fissure between the humanities and other disciplines, knowledge about what the humanities do—and thus contribute to education in other fields—continues to diminish, furthering the cycle of marginalizing the humanities while also benefitting from them without attribution. I consider a time when a humanities education explicitly played a crucial role in the development of leaders, especially in business, because of the role the humanities played in the cultivation of analytical skills and the development of good judgement. I use this examination to consider what this lost connection means not only for the development of leaders but also for realizing the significant role that the humanities play across the professions and in our universities. The pedagogical role of the humanities in its development of analytical ability and judgment is crucial to public life from the flourishing of the business world to the lives we lead living with each other as fellow citizens.

There is a paucity of good evidence suggesting that these interventions reduce substantially the risks of neuropathology that attend participation in a collision sport like American tackle football.

One reason participation has rebounded since then is because leaders at every level of football, from Pop Warner to the N.F.L., have tried to address worries by teaching tackling techniques to reduce head hits, treating concussions more proactively and introducing new equipment designed to reduce the impact of blows to the head. Leagues have also promoted flag football as a safer alternative.

Prescient, ahead of its time, with incredible performances and chemistry between the protagonists and while some of it is is dated, the best episodes are shockingly current

Way up in the highest elevation “city” in the US, the former mining town of Leadville, CO (10,600”) there is a serious Cuban restaurant named Buchi that serves incredible pan con lechon and cortadito.

This is an important moment in the US for vaccine law, federalism, & #PHLaw experts & I am absolutely begging journalists and pundits to seek out the scholarship & expertise of those who have been studying this subject for years rather than winging it or asking people Who. Are. Not. Legal. Experts.
