I love The Morning Show. Now I’m tempted to come into your feed daily and recommend it!
Eventually today's boring payroll record become tomorrow's fascinating database.

Stunned and thrilled that the Amy Lowell Letters Project was funded in this round with a Scholarly Editions and Translations grant!

The MSA needs someone to take over as Treasurer this fall. Many members feel intimidated by the position, but the current Treasurer promises it's not as scary as it sounds. The organization can't run without a Treasurer! Please consider putting your name forward. Email or DM me for more details.
INCREDIBLE Ruling!
Judge Reyes just ruled that transgender people have served honorably in the military, judges Trumps trans military ban - which states trans people are inherently dishonorable - as unconstitutional and motivated by animus.
Trans military members may continue to serve.
Following. I have no idea what you’re talking about, but I do love very, very thin French fries.

“Kennedy paused a multimillion dollar project to create a new Covid-19 vaccine in pill form on Tuesday, and the Food and Drug Administration canceled an advisory committee meeting on updating next season’s flu vaccine.”

16,000 people died from the flu this year. It was the worst flu season in 15 years.
Now Trump & company are helping ensure we're not ready to keep our seniors safe next year.

A square canvas. Only the top corner is filled with Harings distinctive figures, rendered in Lavender, the rest is blank.
Keith Haring died of AIDS aged 31 on 16 Feb 1990.
One of his last works, Unfinished Painting, was deliberately incomplete, reflecting the devastating, unquantifiable loss to the arts due to AIDS.

THIS IS IT. The special general elections for Florida’s 1st & 6th Congressional Districts are on APRIL 1, 2025. If we flip these seats, we can STOP Project 2025. No excuses! Mark your calendars! Show up!

If you've tried to access the new MSA website and got an error, it's possibly because the site hasn't been fully indexed and your university/ work server is blocking it. Try again in a few weeks, or try when you're in a different location.
Jfc cis people, we really fucking need you on this one. Barring people from accessing bathroom facilities is barring people from public life, and if they succeed here they’re going to move on to barring them from every other possible place.
Call your reps please.
So happy about this beautiful new site and grateful to Steve Nathaniel for his work making it!
The CFP for the MSA Conference in Boston (Oct. 9- 12) is now out! www.moderniststudies.org/conference/M... Please share widely!
