I have for several years been obsessed with so-called PKM tools -- it's what I play with instead of Being Productive -- and I think I've finally found an actual long-term winner with the db version of logseq (which is still not formally released).

A black hole fell into a star – then ate its way out again

Stars often fall into black holes, and now it seems the opposite can also occur, producing an extra long-lasting explosion as the star is consumed from within

Preparing, with delight, to teach Christina Rossetti's Goblin Market later this term and seriously wondering why there is no soft drink called "Goblin Dew" (line 470).

Waiting now for the marketers to beat down my door.

(An advertising slogan is ready to go: "Eat me, drink me, love me." (l. 471).

Dante Gabriel Rossetti's black and white engraving illustrating the moment in the poem when Laura snips off a golden curl from her head to pay for the fruit that the Goblin Men --who have non-human faces and tails and resemble, respectively, a cat, an owl, a wombat, a rat, a ratel--are offering to her. In the background we can see her sister Lizzie leaving the scene, but looking behind her. The caption is "Buy from with a golden curl."

The grey stone walls, the broken country, the meagre trees, seemed to be telling him afresh the story of that painful past which he knew so well by heart. But no story is the same to us after a lapse of time; or rather, we who read it are no longer the same interpreters.

Dorothy Berry @dorothyjberry.bsky.social · Aug 20

Excited to finally announce the release of my first ever book, and the first ever book from we here press. It is a pocket-size guide to my archival theories and experiences in the form of essays- some you may have heard in part as lectures, some which are unpublished until now.

www.weherepress.org

Book cover. The top of the image is covered in overlapping black&white and sepia photographs of Black pas from the early to mid 20th century. Below that, against a seafoam green or robin's egg blue (depends on your view I suppose!), the book's title "The House Archives Built & Other Thoughts on Black Archival Possibilities" is printed in black. There is a small white rectangle inset that reads "Dorothy Berry"

Someone asked me this week what's good about being a professor.

Today my answer is, I bought the bad edition of Spence's Anecdotes because it is printed from the corrupted copy of the master MS that Garrick read, which Johnson used in writing his Lives.

It gives me perverse satisfaction to cite.
