Oh Salem, I have such a complicated relationship with you.
Overheard: "I think it's so great to do research, as long as you don't have a topic."
William Merritt Chase, "Seventeenth Century Lady" (ca. 1895)
My father, on a magazine article: "I wouldn't have thought it was interesting, but it's the kind of thing you normally do, so I paid a little more attention to it than I usually would."
The Archive but it's a videogame from 1998.

This made me realize that we actually CAN have night scenes in modern film and television that we can still see, we just have to start using snoots again. We must study the old ways (lighting in film noir).

Not my model or figs or photo, but too nice not to post.
From a college notebook: "I noticed today that one of the Public Safety officers has a quasi-pet squirrel. He feeds it pieces of doughnut, and it is tame."
And for those who prefer their abandoned mattresses with a serving of nineteenth century history, in NYC, all rental leases expired on the same day, 1 May, leading to every renter moving their beds the same time. (Beds and mattresses were the most valuable items people left in early C19 probates)

I see some people are reading this post as being about Exeter but it’s referring to the University of Hertfordshire. And that’s Owen’s point. Less coverage about the axe falling there but it’s equally sad.

Currently thanking my past self for spending many hours at the scanners in B.U.'s Mugar Library where I scanned hundreds of pages of first edition books (my research is so historical, I'm always citing very specific editions, usually first editions-- often not digitized and often difficult to find).
It’s so important to know your bollard history. #WorldBollardAssociaton
Everyone here is incorrect. The correct answer is alphabetical within subject categories, unless you are in New York City, in which case the correct answer is according to the height of the books that will fit in this shelving space.
