Sailor Lewis West’s letter describing the October 1863 attack in Charleston Bay on his U.S. Navy vessel, the USS New Ironsides, by Confederate submarine the David is one of the more striking Civil War primary sources I've encountered. That & much more in today's post! 🗃️ @civilwarmemory.bsky.social

Cuaron was asked when he made this (2006) how he created such a convincing, organic-looking future Britain. He said he looked at what was happening at the time and then just assumed for the movie that everything would keep going on much the same trajectory as it was then, for twenty years or so.

After all, as I argued in this Labor Day column, no history of the holiday or labor in American should exclude enslaved Americans. www.saturdayeveningpost.com/2022/09/cons...

I’m a Dartmouth professor. Pres. Beilock implies in this piece that she speaks for us as a college. She does not. I don’t permit AI in my classroom. Not because it stole my work; because as I wrote in @chronicle.com, most of my students hate it—and feel betrayed by the college—even more than I do.
The Atlantic@theatlantic.com · 2w agoMany educators are trying to make AI simply go away—but in doing so, they are abdicating a sacred commitment that has guided American higher education for centuries, the president of Dartmouth College, Sian Leah Beilock, argues.
ProPublica spoke to dozens of people who had lived in homeless encampments when cities cleared them out in “sweeps.” We distributed notecards so people could tell us about the toll in their own words. ➡️ This is what they wrote:
Trying to imagine the current editors of the SF Chronicle sending a cryptic message via their pages to a houseless police abolitionist.
Matt Seybold@mattseybold.bsky.social · 2w agoNever miss a chance to remind people that Twain went to Angels Camp (& wrote Jim Smiley & His Jumping Frog about it) because he was hiding out from the SFPD, who he had been "after with a sharp stick" for vigilantism & racialized policing, & his friends were afraid they might murder him.

"My piece was inspired by Picasso's Guernica...The patterns near Renee Good and Alex Pretti’s mouths are actually their last words in Morse code: ‘I’m not mad at you,’ and ‘Are you okay?’” -Jennifer Nelson (quoted in the linked booklet, alongside other extraordinary pieces)

My colleague wasn't willing to wait until a new kiln fit in the budget, so he built one from scratch with reclaimed materials. This is professoring.
Finished print: "We need spaces of refusal: to prioritize us safe free protecting each other; recognizing proximity to tech is only technofascism's expl!c!t lure". If we're dreaming futures, why choose a nightmare? <3, Bartleby.

Internet Archive@archive.org · 3w agoWe've been getting a lot of questions about how the Internet Archive digitizes books. The short answer: page by page, by hand. You may remember our viral 2021 video of Eliza Zhang scanning a book. That's still how we do it. Meet Eliza, and learn how we scan books: blog.archive.org/2021/02/09/m...
Dolly Parton knew what it was like to struggle as she fought for working families her whole career. From providing free books to kids to giving working women our "9 to 5" anthem, she was an icon and an inspiration. Rest in power to our union sister. We will always love you.
Up and running! Say hello to Dolly, BC’s new Pearl no. 11. We named the press after the absolute icon and legend who passed earlier today.
