The Polar Express. Inscribed by Chris Van Allsburg. Later Printing. Houghton, Mifflin. Boston, 1985. SOLD

This is just a friendly suggestion to avoid TurboTax/Intuit to file taxes. For one thing, there are better free options. I like FreeTaxUSA.com. But another thing: TurboTax/Intuit lobbied to end the IRS's free tax filing services. They are a repugnant company: itep.org/intuit-helpe...

BREAKING: The two federal immigration agents who fired on Minneapolis protester Alex Pretti are identified in government records as Border Patrol agent Jesus Ochoa and Customs and Border Protection officer Raymundo Gutierrez.

Things would be different today if we had monuments and holidays in honor of Jane Addams.

Why does Tom Homan look like a stooge cop from a 1920s British period comedy I just can't not look at him and imagine the police cap and billy club

Counterblast. By Marshall McLuhan. Designed by Harley Parker. First Edition, First Printing. McLelland and Stewart. Toronto, 1969. SOLD

Welp, today's the day for me, the day I decided to test the hype and configure a coding assistant into my IDE. Didn't wanna get chopped, cooked, or mogged... Didn't wanna be unc, so trying to keep up with the times.

This is a true statistic. According to Minneapolis's Crime Dashboard, there's been one non-negligent homicide in the city so far this year. Add the two ICE executions, and you've got 2/3rds of the city's murders at the hands of ICE. www.minneapolismn.gov/government/g...

The general strike in MN should be the biggest trending story right now. It’s a model which should inform national protests moving forward. If you’re not taking notes, plz look inward. I hope to God we get our shit together and mobilize a national strike soon.

We're not in MN, but we're closing tomorrow in support of the communities and businesses there! Please consider joining us. The general strike is simple: refuse to continue as normal when the federal government is unlawfully harassing, detaining, and shooting American citizens.

I just watched Mark Carney’s entire speech and my god I am jealous of Canada

Blessings to this pup, Sir Francis Bacon, who reminds us to take breaks from doomscrolling and work

“I’ll get some work done at the airport!” I said to myself, months ago, in a state of optimistic delusion.

I guess StackOverflow is done.

#MLA26 is this week?! I'll be part of session 652: Student-Centered AI and DH Practices, talking about LLMs and writing pedagogy and what we can do to help students know what this technology is doing, really, tho. Hope to see you there!

This all seems pretty unbecoming of a FIFA Peace Prize winner

I have a feeling that 2025-2026 will turn out to be a dyad in history. We won't be able to measure whatever the F 2025 was without also factoring in 2026. Idk if that relationship will be a compounding one, or one of revolution. But this NYE, I have the sense we're still in the midst of things.

We Have Always Lived in the Castle. By Shirley Jackson. First Edition, First Printing. Viking. New York, 1962. SOLD

Turns out, my 84-year old dad—who loathes modernity, technology, & sci fi—loves the Avatar movies. He doesn’t know why, he’s openly surprised by it. But my theory is that it’s because they’re actually westerns, coded with all the ridiculous and offensive stuff of that genre. It’s what he grew up on.

We're at the point where we can accurately assess the impacts of tariffs & trade wars on our business. It's not good. At Evening Land Books, we had 75% fewer international orders this year compared to last year... And that's in a year where we increased the number of books in stock. Thanks, Trump!

The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test. Signed by Tom Wolfe. First Edition, First Printing. Farrar, Straus, Giroux. New York, 1968. SOLD

Unpopular opinion: sometimes, small businesses actually suck. Sometimes they're managed by crotchety people with no customer service skills or interest in doing a good job. Yet they still expect the favor of conscientious consumers who want to support small businesses in general. No bueno!

A History of Minnesota. By William Watts Folwell. First Trade Edition Set, First Printings. Minnesota Historical Society. St. Paul, 1921-1930. SOLD

We are choosing our Christmas movie lineup for the year. So far, we’ve got: - Bad Santa - Die Hard - Home Alone - It’s a Wonderful Life - Muppet Christmas Carol

What a lovely snow today in Champaign—fluffy, bright—making the outside so quiet

I’m enjoying Pluribus mainly because it’s just impressive to see a show stick so firmly and seriously to a ridiculous premise

A Book of Days. Signed by Patti Smith. First Edition, First Printing. Random House. New York, 2022. SOLD

Sir Francis insisted on taking a selfie, interrupting my writing

Hey #booksky or #rarebooksky, if you want to join @bibsocamer.bsky.social but can't afford it, let me know and I'll try to cover your membership dues. (I'll do as many as I can afford, but I may not be able to cover everyone if the demand is too high. Thanks for understanding).

In the process of buying and trading in vehicles via driveway.com. So far, would not recommend. I've had to coordinate with five different reps. Small details in paperwork have been difficult to clarify, creating delays & confusion. But will reserve final judgement for when vehicles are exchanged.

Question is, how many times will I rewrite this proposal before I go back to the first draft and only change a few minor details? Because that's the writing process, baby, that's just how it goes!

What if, instead of letters of recommendation, we did publicly available reviews? You could solicit former professors, managers, mentors, etc., to post reviews of you and your work and then simply point to those reviews as part of an application process, if asked.
