The Senator’s empathy and anger on behalf of the many families facing devastating diagnoses of a loved one with diseases like Parkinson’s & Alzheimer’s, who must now worry about losing essential support from the government, hit me hard. Thank you @booker.senate.gov for speaking for us.
Listen to Sen Cory Booker rip into anyone who voted for the CR!
He’s pledged to hold the floor tonight for as long as possible.
Let’s lift him up and show him support as he gets in good trouble!

I’ve been saving cataloguing several little booklets of ornament prints as a special “treat.” I needed them today 😔 Here are a few lovely little details from the booklet featuring Adriaen Collaert and Etienne Delaune to help offer a momentary break from the tragedies filling our timelines.

This 1800 print that I just catalogued isn’t in good condition, but I love that it was published by Lackington, of the Temple of the Muses bookstore fame - and therefore feels like a ticket into that space! (See v cool trade cards from British Museum, touting a stock of 200k volumes for sale!)

Our article in Digital Humanities Quarterly is Open Access. It's a case study, so even if you don't study Nashville, the Civil War, Slavery, the South, or even Black Studies, there's a lot of discussion here about how to do a co-creative DH project. 4/4

Ugh, the rebooted @rijksmuseum.bsky.social collection search is awful!! It’s style over substance: finding advance search very challenging to navigate, and am bombarded by (never thought I’d say this) waaay too many images (my eyes and RAM hurt). Bring back the perfectly good previous iteration!
