The Boston cooler is delicious and if you have Faygo, a Rock n Rye float is also worth trying!

Also! You might enjoy this as well. Amazing musicality, and improvised bsky.app/profile/noup...
They don’t know what song the DJ will play. Sometimes the dancer gets something they really know and it’s amazing — like this one where The D Soraki, a Japanese dancer who at the time was 19, got Diana Ross “I’m Coming Out” & hit every syncopated drum break. All freestyle, not choreography.

Echoing that it's just fantastic choreography that's very attentive to musicality. They do perform this number on stage as well, and it looks great even without the camera work

Can you add me? Thanks!

Ugh, yes, same

Me! Thank you!

The stickers in MI this year are great!

I work with a lot of history undergrads, and I think some of them pick research topics based on whether they'll need to read handwritten materials (others, of course, very much want to do this). A lot of digitized manuscripts aren't transcribed, and OCR can be iffy even for some printed materials

Dee Garrison? That's who I was thinking of
