Subscribo.

Just like every year, a friendly PSA: “Feliz ano nuevo” means “happy new anus.” “Feliz año nuevo” means “happy new year.” Wishing folks either one is nice, but make sure you’re using the one you mean.

People of Bluesky! Are you ready for the Top Squirrels of 2025??????

Since we’re talking about leaving canvas again today, here’s a thread from a few weeks ago I wrote about my experience in the Fall. I now know more about what needs to be addressed more deliberately to make the transition easier for students. Thanks to folks sharing their insights!

Emma Donoghue was doing yoga while we were waiting to board the Chicago bound flight out of the London Ontario airport, which wouldn't leave for like 8 hours due to the 2013(?) polar vortex.

We’re making mussels for nye (for the first time ever). I’ve read and watched the cleaning/bearding/refrigerating tutorials. Any bits of wisdom folks here can offer?

Some ppl around here might be interested in this. networks.h-net.org/group/announ...

For the 4th day of Christmas, a very shiny flan!

Vengo a confirmar que las mezclas de fruta deshidratada para hacer ponche navideño sí están buenas.

post a perfect album from the 90s that isn’t nirvana, pearljam, soundgarden or alice in chains

Today’s baking: frangipane pear tart (with very crumbly and slightly over edges).

Ok, after this 👇🏽 I rewatched Night Country and 1) it’s definitely a Christmas show or, more specifically, a solstice one; 2) motifs, character shifts, etc. are a ton more effective watching all 6 episodes in a couple of days than over several weeks; 3) because of that, it’s much richer upon rewatch.

Just like Christmas in Mexico City! 😬

Still life with Christmas spread!

Nobody: Mexicans during Christmas celebrations:

It never feels like you made a lot of cookies until you’re icing them.

Early morning baking means warm cookies for breakfast!

Jodie Foster: They should have sent a poet Poet: Aliens ahoy! A galactic sight. When you’re in space all day is night

This is funnier given than years later Jody Foster would star in a show where it’s night all the time. Galactic destiny!

Well, a student said I'm "the goat" in the student evals. I will gift myself the sweater...

We’re so excited about ASAP/17 in Madison in October! Check out the CFP here! And please share widely! Our annual conferences are so fun every year because so many different kinds of scholars and artists alike come together! www.artsofthepresent.org/conference/3...

Renew all my professional association memberships or gift myself that fancy sweater I've been eyeing for a month?

Yeah, I had to cancel a bunch of plans due to a cursed end-of-semester cold I haven't been able to will away but at least I'm catching up on things I've been meaning to read for the past couple of weeks.

This is all wrong

I wrote about some of 2025's big generative AI developments and their implications for historians: multimodal generation, deep research, and handwriting transcription. In short, we need to stop dismissing this as nothing more than "autocomplete on steroids." cblevins.github.io/posts/gen-ai...

I had been thinking about code-switching and LLMs and was thus interested to see the "pito" matter here. Do folks have references about it to point me to?

Add another 1854 words and @alexsaum.bsky.social and I pretty much have a full first draft of that article 🎉 #academicwriteathon

Estoy muy contenta por poder compartir la noticia de la publicación de nuestro libro colectivo colectivo “Comisiones e iniciativas de verdad y memoria en Iberoamérica: prácticas, desafíos y aprendizajes”. Los capítulos fueron escritos por queridas/os y admiradas/os colegas y amigas/os.

Funny animal videos no longer being trustworthy just fucking sucks all around. I love the wonder of animal behavior and what it says about the experience of being alive. It's because it happened in reality that it's so fun. It's not fun if it was just made up. There's no wonder there.

😩😨

This is an incredible example of the kind of synthetic book I'm after. #bookhistory

my [millennial?] [mexican?] mind does not understand foldover sweatpants.

Re upping this request for leads for images of genAI books or synthetic books in the wild. Not texts, images of books. Thank you! #bookhistory

Remezcla, it is not “the internet” who disagrees. Do a little research and you’ll quickly be able to disprove Hart’s racist hot take.
