Is this why we can't afford meat up here? They sold it all to Britain?
(only kinf of joking)
Honestly I could not be happier
Paperwork signed. I’ll be joining the history faculty of Oberlin College & Conservatory in the fall semester as visiting asst professor. 🤩
What an absolute dream of a year I am embarking on ✨
See, aren't I fun?
The next vapid thought: talking to my main group chat and realizing that my mom really did a number on me by raising me on ST:TNG because every man I have dated as an adult and all the men I am currently talking to are just reiterations of Jonathan Frakes over and over and over again.
There are a million reasons my homesick self cannot wait to be back living in the US, but this morning I am motivated by being able to buy Ryse Cinnamon Toast protein again because dammit that shit is so good in everything.
(I'm sorry, I'm only posting vapid thoughts for a minute)
Damn. That’s really too bad.
Yaaaaaaassssssss
If I ever get tenure, I’m going to stop participating in daylight savings time.
Do not ask me how these things are connected.
They just are.
Thank you.
Isn’t it just so fun!
You’re welcome!
Yeah, I never learned what the hand writing styles would be called, but so different.
Sample of handwriting from Mexico 1640
Oooh but then we get to the 1640s and the handwriting is my favorite (the one I know best lol)
I’m sorry I cannot transcribe it right now but it is an example of handwriting from Mexico 1610
Example 2 - 1610
I am so sorry, I am unable to fully transcribe the image, but it is a page with three versions of handwriting from Mexico in 1589
OK - Example 1, 1589
Ooooh, let me see if I can pull up some examples. I’m not sure if those are the words I would use, but maybe?
Oh yes, for Mexico the handwriting difference between the late 1500s and early 1600s is DRAMATIC
FRIENDS, IT HAS, IN FACT, BEEN POSSIBLY THE BEST 24 HOURS OF MY LIFE (non daughter related)
The Bundy standoff was over cattle ranching and BLM land
Pictures emerging from today’s heavy bombing of Isfahan. Damages to the mirror works, tiles, floors, and carved wooden doors of Safavid palaces of Aali Qapu and Chehelsotoon. Both of these are within the UNESCO Heritage complex of Naqsh-e Jahan Square. These are 16th-17th century bldgs.
When I was living in NV during the Bundy standoff in Bunkerville.
Early modern scribes:
OMG so accurate. No rules. Only vibes.
Oh, and if you can get to it and it's open to the public now (I think it is) Parque Quetzalcaotl is amazing
But there is a huge punk and goth scene there, I think check what's coming to Tianguis and Gato Calavera is a good place to start
There's no lack of good work cafes around the Hippodromo in Condesa, but they're no secret
