1. Danny Lavery tells us The Problem With Being Edited (it’s my problem, too):
I react with the same baffled fury and impotent rage of Mary Lennox in The Secret Garden: The idea of revisiting something I have already written puts me in the most confounding of moods, and I become sulky, contradictory, and capricious, unwilling to say what I actually think (“I don’t want to look at what I’ve written and think about it a second time, I’m unprepared to defend any arguments I might have made or furnish sources for any claims; please just do whatever you like for the second draft and let’s forget I ever had a hand in writing this”)
2. Bookbinding stuff: a collection of end papers from 1890 – 1930.
3. More digital archives: a collection of motifs used in tatreez, or traditional Palestinian cross stitch. (Gorgeous!)
4. Niche Manifestations on TikTok are my new favorite thing:
