And so it begins. Syllabus prep and thinking about how to engage more than 200 students think through and embody visual analysis.

I realize now I may be the only humanities person who is mad at the assumption we have bad math scores.
I'm not saying SAT (or GRE) math is hard, but I don't think their assumptions about the scores of non-STEM faculty would hold up at all.
This article advocates for the “Faculty Merit Act” that would — get this — require all faculty applicants to submit their *SAT* scores. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Holy shirts that’s hilarious.

Counting the days by pressure, not by dates—
the weight of hours stacked in untidy rows.
This year arrived as letters loose in trays,
each one reversed, nicked at the edges, dull
with ink that bled where hands were over-wet.

My last Public Collectors booklet of 2025 is available to order: CB Radio Postcard People #2. It's a second rough little collection of the hand-drawn postcards people who talked to each other over CB would exchange with each other (the first is out of print). halfletterpress.com/cb-radio-pos...
CB Radio Postcard People #2
A new mini Public Collectors booklet about the art of QSL cards: specifically black and white cards with rather rough drawings of people or their surrogates.

Always make time to hold letters. And it’s time again to disassociate while creaming butter & sugar.

So I am making cookies—this is why.
Because the oven warms the kitchen air,
Because the sugar cracks and spreads and browns,
Because small choices still obey my hands.

Always, librarians. Librarians are usually the start to so many answers or the start of so many questions.
I haven't read anything, and appreciate these pointers. I am very susceptible to rabbitholes but/and also don't quite know what I'm after; I should probably go to the library and talk to a librarian! But monumentality of paper sounds very interesting

Be disgusting and disgusted together. My article "Piss, Poison, and other Paths between Scotland and England in Caricature since 1745" is available now in the Fall 2025 issue of Journal 18, www.journal18.org/8011

If you saw my earlier posts with this same intro header, Tasks for the National Guard in Chicago, they have become the latest Public Collectors zine. I finished it this morning. It's a single folded sheet and I made 425 copies. Get one free on 8/31, 11-6 at the Hairpin Arts Center, at #ZineMercado

You have to fight this. You MUST fight this. This is the first fight in 8 months that you, as a person without a law degree, can personally win against the Trump Administration. We still need a bit more critical mass from Democrats. Keep calling. Demand (1) statements and (2) investigative hearings
