Just found out about this amazing example of #manuscript #recycling . The whole manuscript is made up from the margins of an earlier liturgical manuscript, cut out and rearranged (hence the unusual format), the (mostly) blank margins then used to copy various magical texts in the mid 16th century.

🚨🚨 North Carolina constituents --> some of your House Reps are WAVERING on their support for H.R. 1, maybe feeling emboldened by Senator Tillis's No vote.
A strong call log of constituent opposition can help then feel protected if they choose to go against party leadership and vote no. CALL NOW!

Getting a job at my alma mater and finishing my dissertation in the same library where I spent so many evenings in undergrad feels… appropriate yet strange.
