Does anyone have a work-around for all Gallica direct links now being blocked (I presume to stop bots)? I have SO MANY saved links and stupidly didn't always note down the full citation. So now I have all these links to "evidence" that don't work. 🫠

Love to hear Francesca Berry questioning the default binary arguments around domesticity and women--ignoring that men also inhabited the domestic, and that some women most famous for their domestic work have much work that is not that.

De Young shows the Parisienne as a role that was performed and heavily judged, used to describe a host of imagined, idealized, and criticized women--racialized structures were used as tourist draws, and these types didn't reflect but also shaped culture.

My biggest teaching surprise of the Fall is that while I'm fine with teaching a 2-5pm class, I absolutely despise teaching a 3-6pm class. It doesn't seem like one hour should matter that much, but it does. I will never do it again if I can help it. 😅

It took a highly sophisticated Jacquard weave to create the incredibly detailed oranges that form the fabric of of this early 1890s dress. You can almost smell the citrusy peel. There so many details to observe here, the pattern matching, the cuff trim, the drama! #V&A #FashionHistory 🗃️🪡

Last week a German journalist contacted me after finding my book at MoMA, so I of course had to go see it there for myself! ❤️ My first time seeing it in a bookstore! Very exciting. 😍 Anyone who goes to see the Sargent show at the Musée d’Orsay in Paris, please snap a pic of my book in that shop. 🙏

Saw a lot of posts about academia dot edu today and smiled because I haven't logged in since the 2010s.... ... anyway it turns out I never formally deleted the account. Went ahead and did that today. In case you, too, decided in 2018 that if you ignored it it would go away.

I'm virtually positive the 2 women on the left are the same and the 2 women on the right (boater/red hat) are the same, but do we think they're all the same woman? What about the 2 blondes? I think they're the same, but are they yet a 3rd woman? These are all paintings by Louise Abbéma. #arthistory

Then another white woman in a straw boater and striped orange and blue shirt with blazer. Then same woman in red hat and taupe jacket with black blouse.Blonde woman with bangs with her hair up in pink bodiced dress, red flowers in hair and at her chest. The same woman drinking tea in a purple blouse. Curly hair.

this iconic advertising copywriter named Kathy Hepinstall Parks died over the weekend and I wanted to share something from her website I thought Bluesky would like

Why should I write better when a machine can do it for me? Because actually no one can do it for you, because your voice is unique among all the people on earth. Siri never petted a horse's neck. Alexa has never been ghosted by the captain of the football team. But you have lived, your heart is beating, you have suffered, and you have something important to say. It's a human's job, to use words, and whatever job you give to a machine, that part of your brain goes dark. Maybe it's worth it when it comes to remembering phone numbers and directions, but when that part of your brain that uses words goes dark, that's a vast area that's very close to your soul. Don't let some internet platform convince you that what you have to say and create isn't worthwhile. Words are the echo of your soul. Honing that echo matters.
