When your favorite video game lets you make #StreetsforPeople = šŸ˜šŸ˜ šŸ˜. Can’t wait for the Jersey barrier bike lane DLC!

Don't mind me, just spending the Orange Line shutdown AI imagining a pedestrianized Boston, with #streetsforpeople, and a city inviting for everyone to walk and bike in.

Sorry, if it’s not from the Wayne County denominazione di origine protetta and cooked on regulation drip pans, this is just sparkling flatbread.

Bristling and tragically relevant thirty five years on; published with characteristic integrity and careful annotations by the crack team at Jewish Currents

Spent the day with Michael W. Twitty's characteristically beautiful new meditation (Kosher Soul, aptly) on congruence and friction of Black, Jewish, and gay journeys. Between culinary wayfaring, portraits of teachers / students, and loving / painful moments of belonging & un-belonging.

Just finished Sue-Lin Wong 黄淑琳’s ā€œThe Prince.ā€ Riveting political documentary (thought a lot of my own time in Hu Jintao’s China) that makes me wonder what a similar account of India’s turbulent politics over the last decade might sound like.

Great conversation but the best part was the Tanvi Madan's deservedly glowing plug for @DrJSarkar's "Ploughshares and Swords" at the end! Haven't forgiven her for leaving us for University of Glasgow but a fantastic book's a fantastic book.

Leading life sciences journal scraps accept / reject decisions in favor of publication with peer reviews appended. Insane open source publishing $$ aside, how would those of us in history work differently with a model like this? #twitterstorians
