I thought Iβd go to AHA as an excuse to visit Chicago and see friends. However, itβs expensive, plus Iβm worried about ICE activity at the conference. Iβm on social media less than I used to be and wondered if I missed something. Tagging @nellstra.bsky.social because he knows everyone

John McGreevy on the new pope, via WaPo:
It appears they're already preparing celebrations downtown
The real question that everyone is asking: If the new pope is from Chicago, has he ever tried Malort?
Classes are over. I have made the annual bookstore stop, acquired mindless, fluffy books, and am now enjoying a story with a glass of wine (plus 1 cuddly gray cat).
At the end of class every semester I hit a bookstore and the thought of piles of new books to flip through on Friday evening is sustaining me through the final week
βAttempting to strip the institution of the stories that tell the truth about who we have been is an attempt to perpetuate a lie about who we are.β
