We need the higher ed media to better describe what's at stake here. These are not "reforms," they're an authoritarian takeover. They're not "bold" or "sweeping," they're undemocratic and fascist. These aren't normal policy recommendations, they're a dismantling of higher education!

You know you’re a 20th century musical theater kid when you take one look at your chicken-like bed head and immediately drawl β€œBaalllllzaac” in your most disapproving matron tone.

Also, now old enough to play the disapproving matron.

Love this treat of printing history in a 1973 issue of Gay Community News where they gave the "GCN: 'Some of our best friends are straight'" award to Bob Getz of Two-Penny Press and their printer & typsetter, Joan Cameron, who helped GCN move from mimeograph to offset πŸ“œhdl.handle.net/2047/D20372304

Ms. Codex 849, written in France ca. 1522, is a small book containing recommendations for Francis I concerning the payment and collection of taxes. It's written in a clear humanist script with delightful gold initials alternating red and blue decoration.

I’d have to go look at the syllabi to be sure; it usually varies by professor. We hold both iterations in our collection. The 1st ed gets used more as β€œlook shiny” than as β€œcritical ed” mostly because if we have a Frankenstein expert on campus, they aren’t using our copies.
