This is it. I've found my nemesis. Jokes aside, @gallicabnf.bsky.social is an *amazing* resource and I couldn't be working on my dissertation without it -- or at least not in such privileged conditions. But man, I just need to go through multiple pages. I'm not trying to attack you DDoS style!

💥 I’m excited to share my Informal Guide to Archival Research📜📚 1/ As a first-time archival researcher, it took me a long time to learn how archives actually work. Not because archivists weren't helpful (they are amazing!!!), but because it involved a skill set that I had never been trained in.

Given the current mood over here, I'd suggest Howler.

Great profile of the leading AI detector, Pangram, and the people behind it—including a former English major who wrote a thesis on Ishiguro (me too). Fascinating snapshot of our cultural moment with AI, and a sober reflection on the future of the internet, teaching, and human communication.

I profiled the startup behind Pangram, the AI detector everyone’s talking about. It works really, really well. I wanted to understand how they did it. and also: why people still don’t trust them. (also, news: Penguin Random House is using it.) gift link! ✨

You never know where the Transcendentalists' footsteps might take you! Here are a few snippets of my visit to the Adam Mickiewicz Museum in Paris, which also houses the Frédéric Chopin salon 🎶 Check out this medallion depicting Daniel Stern, one of the first French readers Emerson had in Paris! 👀

Snapshots of a day off spent hiking in the mountains and reading this lovely new edition of Thoreau's 'Winter Walk' prefaced and translated by @tconstantinesco.bsky.social! Thoreau's 'arctic summer,' but make it Alpine?

Some unexpected treats to top off the absolute treat that teaching this class on women's writings in the 19th-century United States was! Feeling immensely lucky to have had such engaged students and thought-provoking discussions in this course! 🌟
