Also makes me think of my beloved Baby-Sitters Club books, though as a kid plowing through them, I never really questioned how there were so many (and so many different spin-offs!)

Not to mention the effects of the wind and rain. I was recently reduced to trying to salvage my sopping fringe* under one of those high-speed hand dryers**—and yes, a colleague did walk in while this was happening.

Grammarly window showing "Scott Weingart" helping me out with a helpful writing tip.
I just made up the most inane-yet-me-sounding 150 words I could think of and shoved it into Grammarly, and indeed the first 'AI expert' it came up with to help was me.
A screenshot of a handwritten record of a list of names, in which the name 'Jeremy' is highlighted from 'Jeremy Prycke'.
Look, I have a lot of time for OCR in modern digital databases, but I cannot help but enjoy having searched for 'Sodomy' in East India Company records and gotten ...
'Jeremy Prycke' as a hit.

This is exactly what I decided to do! (In Word, where I have all of my little shortcuts and things set up the way I like them.) And it's an Overleaf template, so at least I should be okay when I get there. Thanks!

Ah, my first encounter was with a template. If it can be blank, I could manage that! And pen and paper plays a big role too (as a collaborator is unfortunately learning).
How on earth do people write in LaTeX? A blank Word document borders on being too linear for my early drafts.
NEH's budget is tiny—not just compared to NSF/NIH, but compared to humanities funding in every other wealthy nation. What little was there was largely rescinded and several programs were cut in full last year. It decimated not merely individual projects but whole corners of the humanities in the US.
fwiw, I really liked Wuthering Heights, so this is not me about having a bee in my bonnet about accuracy or fidelity or whatever.
I actually have no other thoughts right now. It’s been several years since I read the book (which I loved). I did not love this as much as the book.
Later, we learn that he shares a printer with Lady Whistledown’s Society Papers AND that this anonymous printer uses American-style dates.
In this scene, Will is clearly frustrated that a toddler has scribbled on his paper and ripped it to scraps.
I’m not normally one to complain about these things, but the documents (print and ms) in Hamnet were SO BAD. If only there were a way to know what these things looked like.

1510 probate record with a seal depicting the murder of Thomas Becket
Spotted in the searchroom this week was this 1510 probate with a very interesting seal! It appears to depict the murder of Thomas Becket and is in pretty good condition given its age! 📷 D/EBP/E33
Don't be fooled by the appearances! At first glance, these look like early printed books, but it is an ingenious chest of drawers. Has anyone seen this elsewhere?

Almost sent an email with "All beset" as the salutation and, well, yeah.

Madness. I cannot handle having more than a few tabs open at a time, but I sense some, um, generational differences between myself and my team.
