Nothing nicer than hearing from a former student worker that they got the job for which you served as a reference. Yay!

the people who are destroying all public goods and trying to kill you would like you to blame someone else, perhaps some Other whose immigration status you can deduce at a glance by putting on your racism glasses, who you can have sent to a concentration camp on the basis of your suspicion

A little light-hearted observation in an otherwise grim news day: even in 1873, NJ was a high tax state. Says William Still to his niece (who was selling his book on the Underground Railroad): "Your letter of yesterday’s date came to hand this morning together with my tax bill and also an order for

Good on Omeka for writing this and spelling out what their constraints aren't, as an independent project not under the auspices of a university. Still mind-blowing that these are the things one needs to say right now.
