Going to be so annoying about baseball for at least one more week before returning to my other hyperfixation: books older than the United States

A man named Big Rig has 9 strikeouts through 4 innings and if Cleveland could score, we'd be partying right now. #goguards

Todays special collections teaching: Cleveland Play House stages Much Ado About Nothing across 80 years.
Yesterday's special collections teaching: Early Modern worlds. Luther pamphlets and Erasmus; heliocentrism and geo-heliocentrism with Galielo, Kepler, and co.; alchemy and chemistry; Hooke's plates of bugs under the microscope; and geospatial imagination with Mercator and Nurmberg Chronicle.
These are now listed for sale, and Mary's is 22.5k and Percy's 17k. Lol. AS IT SHOULD BE.
Kate Ozment@grubstreetwomen.bsky.social · 2w agoI am a confirmed Percy Shelley hater and handling a letter where he's complaining about being censored for incest overtones in his poetry is really confirming my biases. Mary, meanwhile, is asking for books to review.

Cleveland is 15 rookies in Jose Ramirez's trenchcoat and I guess that means Im ready to be hurt again because I got ALDS tickets
For once, I 100% know what's going on at a sporting event. Children dressed like the bunny from the Christmas story are running towards home base while a man in cutoffs and a cowboy hat is warming up to pitch. I'm locked in.
I finished my first week as a special collections librarian with the help of the office tea set 💞
The Cleveland Guardians have taken the division lead in September with the smallest budget in the MLB and a negative run differential. They have a buy for the first round of the playoffs and have played 13 rookies this year including Parker Messick with his 2.57 ERA. Sure! Why not! Makes sense!

I'm going to help Cleveland vote so effectively....
I'm not online enough to know what's going on in the Clancy trial (not an invitation to catch me up; I'm good) but I'm online enough to see a startling amount of misogynistic posting about it at a frequency similar to the Amber Heard trial. It smells like astroturfing but ... why.

I got my women's studies certificate from Texas A&M. I took courses on Black literature. It made me a better scholar, and sparks of patriotism I have are from the folx I learned about who made democracy real by fighting for their rights. Not an ounce of this brings us closer to our true foundations.

Please don't librarian like they do in The Mummy. You should wash the corpse off your hands before handling parchment, and shelves sound be secured. Preserve provenance when angering cursed spirit books. Please DO wear fabulous glasses and button ups while practicing paleography.
