Sadly, rumors now suggesting that this was just the beginning. I spent 13 years working alongside many of the people at NEH (& in collaboration with IMLS, NEA, IMLS, & others). The value they bring to our country, our states, & our profession is beyond measure. Additional info below:

Hoping that our valued colleagues at NEH are holding up while they are grappling with what I’m sure are incredibly difficult and destabilizing circumstances. And what a blow to humanities research.

No NEH summer stipends this year. Shocked face.

Today I learned there is a bookstore in NYC devoted almost entirely to Winston Churchill.

This is great! I worked on a much older version - so interesting to see reflected so much wisdom of experience. My favorite part may be “(3.d) Clarify Expectations If a New Hire Is Expected to Start a Program.”

Dipping a toe into random posting. Is it a new thing that you can’t actually log out of a Google account on a mobile device? You have to remove the account itself? This feels awfully sticky. Which I’m sure is the point, but still. My alts are finding it crowded in here.

Sure

Victoria Szabo @vszabo.bsky.social · Nov 8

I still wanted to monitor the conversations (such as they are) but just can’t take the “your body, my choice” posts on top of it all, at least rn

Happy Autumnal Equinox!

Compound Interest | Chemistry infographics @compoundchem.com · Sep 23

Today is the autumn equinox in the northern hemisphere, so here's a look at the chemical cause of the yellows, oranges and reds in the fall foliage we'll be seeing shortly! wp.me/p4aPLT-sn 🧪

Infographic on the chemistry of the colours of autumn leaves. Green is caused by chlorophyll, carotenoids and flavonoids give yellows, and oranges come from carotenoids, which also contribute to reds along with anthocyanins.
