Just learned that Utica’s also been hiding pusties from me, apparently the favorite local dessert I’ve never heard of. Mezzanini’s Taste of Utica book has a half dozen recipes for them www.saldetraglia.com?p=678

Aristotle's Rhetoric had a term for redeploying stick figures, chiefly associated with warning signs, to other arenas for expressive purposes. Unfortunately, the text is corrupt and no-one's been able to determine what the term was. If we could find it, it would certainly apply here.

auction catalogs lead me to so much interesting stuff I wouldn't see otherwise. Today, André Devambez's "Death Walking to the Cemetery." Never seen it nor heard of him, but want it on my wall. (2 1/2" x 12")

Saw this horse in an intro art course, blown away, wanted that experience again, declared the major to chase it, and here we are

I think we're going win, but I want to win hard enough that we start paying artists to paint murals in post offices again. (This time the post offices are also banks.)

First-rate #warningsign, no notes

Show someone who rocks a hat (who isn’t Indiana Jones)

ad fontes, dammit (and yeehaw)

I’ve got an academic conference joke, but it’s really more a comment

put some wavy parallel lines on there and it would work as a #warningsign for these windy days of late (grateful h/t to @chrisquixote.bsky.social)

One perk of working at a massive university campus is that you meet people working these mind-blowing jobs that you never knew exist.

All hail this undergrad who is just here to look at cunieform tablets despite being unable to read them.

Space is angry because we keep sending Ohioans up there.

Imagine being a meteor and landing in fucking Ohio

"sometimes 'asshole' isn't enough," jonathan richman reassessing pablo picasso tonight at baby's all right, a line he's probably used before but feeling pretty universal at the moment. what a miracle to be in a room with richman in 2026. (please don't tell him that i snuck a photo.)

One of the most important projects I've ever had the good fortune to work on. We're still working with the original collective to digitize more/more modern editions!

The archivist at my college purchased every single edition of Our Bodies Ourselves (except the first, which is digitized) so that my students could compare/contrast how the book has changed over time, reflecting different priorities and perspectives.

It’s impossible to convey how important Our Bodies Ourselves was to the generations of women before the internet. Monumental, positive impact for American women.

Happy national buzzards to all who celebrate, and if you don’t you should, so this is for everyone

If I failed to heed this #warningsign, I don’t think I’d be composed enough to call tech support
