Sending out a random request to the universe — If there are any Borges scholars in my network, or if anyone has a connection to a Borges scholar and could DM me their name, I would love to find such people.

"But the rejections remain hidden, forming a shadow CV of declined manuscripts, unfunded proposals, and invitations that never came. Rejection, however, isn’t the exception in this profession. It’s the norm." 👇👇👇

Every academic career is built on rejection, but we don’t show it. 
CVs list publications, grants & awards, not rejected manuscripts, unfunded proposals, or failures. 
But those invisible rejections shape us more than our successes ever do. 👉 catherineeunicedevries.substack.com/p/fail-bette... 🧵

Wenn jetzt jede Jahreszeit ihre Romance-Bestseller bekommt, dann freue ich mich irgendwie schon drauf, wenn der deutsche Buchmarkt Karneval entdeckt. Nach einem persönlichen Trauma tritt [x] den Funkenmariechen bei und trifft dort auf den brooding Karnevalsprinz ihrer Träume.

Fellow authors, I love you, and I know it feels like we don’t have a choice, but B&N and Am*zon both scheduled sales this week to preempt Independent Bookstore Day, a hugely vital source of income for indie bookstores. Please don’t promote their sales; please promote your local indie this week.

‘Teenage Intimacies’ is now officially out in the world! It’s a history of teenage sexuality in postwar England that speaks to ideas of growing up, adolescence, friendship, family, identity, culture and education. It’s been a long time coming but I’m really proud of the end result! 🗃️ #histsex

Every 19th century German academic: after Abitur at the age of 16 they defended their thesis (17 pages, 3 footnotes) on Hegel at 23 in Tübingen, followed by a habilitation on Roman History at 25 in Marburg. Then held the chair of medicine at the Karl-Justus-Heinrich-Wilhelm-Universität for 55 years.

Wenig Überraschend: Die Novellierung des #WissZeitVG hat sich offensichtlich dank der fehlenden Parlamentsmehrheit von rot-grün erledigt. Das Fazit von @jmwiarda.bsky.social: "oft drängte sich der Eindruck auf: Es fehlt an Willen und an Können". #IchbinHanna www.jmwiarda.de/2024/12/05/d...

Das Nein der Union

Die Unionsfraktion im Bundestag will vor der Wahl keine größeren Vorhaben von SPD und Grünen mehr durchwinken. Was das Schicksal von WissZeitVG oder DATI endgültig besiegeln dürfte. Nachvollziehbar?

"these were the objections he had to urge at the moment, though no doubt, with more time he should discover more defects, and have more objections to state". Horace Twiss, writer and Tory MP, invokes the spirit of "Reviewer 2" on the reform bill in 1831.
