*sigh* It's too soon, but on the day of his retirement from public service, I think that it's important to recognize the contributions of Brett Bobley to the work of the National Endowment for the Humanities and the field. #ThanksBrett for your leadership, your good cheer & your home-baked goods.

To @brettbobley.bsky.social‬ - Massive thanks to you for everything you have done to foster an innovative, thoughtful, and vibrant DH community! NEH's ODH was where I cut my teeth as a peer reviewer for grant proposals & I'll ever be grateful for those experiences. #ThanksBrett

On a day like today, a saving grace and comfort: a playlist I'd completely forgotten about is momentarily blunting the despair. Music IS joy.
