The sheer pleasure of a nearly empty campus gym on a Sat afternoon. Great workout sessions this week while I watched clouds roll in from the top floors. Lifting more, pushing harder. Making my 70s the Decade of the Gym. Ski season starts in a few months #histgym #emory #skiing 🏔️👟⛷️

A line of eight treadmill machines with no one on them.

Four kinds of gym weightlifting equipment with no one using any of them.

Screen shot of one of my folders for the AN - photos from cartons from the C series (Fr Rev legislation). The photos are in the order in which they were in the carton. This is def not a sophistcated as some other suggestions here.

Reported for misleading info and blocked. Please consider doing the same. The account seems to have been created solely to spread lies about #Fauci

screen shot of account osk49.bsky.social with statement that Fauci grafted aborted baby scalps onto rats. Called Fauci a pyscopath.

In the midst of democracy’s possible collapse, I took a suitcase weighing 46 lbs full of my ATL plants to my BFFs in Houston. Weeded & redid a bed. So much mud! So much joy! #gardening #histgarden

4 photos showing a light yellow craftsman home and the flower bed along the side of the house. One photo shows weeds, while three others show it weeded, then with plants. A photo of the suitcase filled with plants.

my first one - a Kaypro 10 in 1987. A huge purchase, about $2000 in 1987 dollars. I paid $133 a month for it for quite a while. It was miraculous, tho, compared to a typewriter. I still have the floppy diskettes from it around somewhere. LOL

I just posted this on FB. Some friends also feel like their algorithms have changed recently. Getting more much more ugly stuff there lately. #FaceBook #AltRight #Trump #ICE

Screen shot of a FB post asking, "Is anyone else suddenly getting really wild far right, Trump- supporting stuff in their timeline? I keep blocking the accounts, but they do not block. Then more pop up with similar names. Very weird. Like Zuckerberg suddenly changed my algorithm and is flooding my timeline with pro-Trump stuff." Then two images, one supporting ICE and more deportations from a FB account names Susanna Barrows and one about crime in Chicago and blaming it on the "woke" mayor, demanding that he be fired and that a state of emergency in Chicago be delcared, posted by an account named Supreme Legends Hub.

I have more than a few beefs with the refs, but I'm so relieved about the French victory. Allez les bleus. Onward to Boston! #france #worldcup

French team celebrates at the end of the pitch. They are wearing blue kits and jumping up and down.

Was outside doing 4 hrs of yardwork in 90-degree heat. Rehydrating now & eating dinner. Going to start the documentary Will enjoy catching up w the #hatm discussion. ❤️ Very unimpressive photo of the area where I dug up masses of weeds.

10-yard section of my grass with dirt where I dug out weeds.

#AmReading & maybe #AmWriting. After a day spent on MRIs & at PT, I am finally settled on the sofa picking up a bk chapter on the late French Revolution, politics & art in 1797, more precisely. Photo of a random treatise from 1789. What you are working on? #academicsky #18thc #FrenchHistrory

Fontispiece from French pamphlet from 1789 entitled Vérités agréables ou le Salon vu en beau from the French National Library.

Judith A. Miller@1789jam· Jun 15

#hatm just one example of how jarring some of the film shots are.

Judith A. Miller@1789jam· Jun 15

Oh, they have been delayed for at least an hour because of thunderstorms. You'll still be able to catch them after Muriel's Wedding. LOL #HATM #UFC

It looks like the #UFC main events start at 8pm. Here’s what the weather radar predicts. Kinda love it for them. ⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⛈️⛈️⛈️⛈️⛈️

So, while the world is on fire & Trump is supposedly neogiating a BIG TREATY w #Iran, #Rubio is hanging out in LA with #FIFA pres Gianni #Infantino at the #WorldCup. Priorities, man, priorities.

OAN screen shot. Gianni Infantino, wearing a navy blue suit and tie, raising his hands, while Rubio, blue suit and red tie, beside him, looks on from a booth at the World Cup.

and a better one from right about then. Man's head and two hands. #kennedycenter

Glimpse through the side of the tarp on the scaffolding at the Kennedy Center. It appears to be a man's head and his arm hammering & pulling at one of the letters.

Judith A. Miller@1789jam· Jun 13

As soon as the tarp was secured, hammering commenced, then a cheer as something fell, & about 8 mins after the tarp was secured, a glimpse through the side at an arm hammering for a split second. It's at the very bottom of the shot. #kennedycenter

Judith A. Miller@1789jam· Jun 13

it does look like this crew is leaving. Fistbumps, backpacks, pats on the back, taking photos. If so, wonder how long before the AM crew arrives. #kennedycenter

only a few workers (6 or 7) left in front of the Kennedy Center, shaking hands and putting on backpacks.

Judith A. Miller@1789jam· Jun 13

Looks like they're getting instructions. Wish that the sound had not been cut so that we could hear some fragments at least. #kennedycenter

Group of 8 workers in yellow vests seated in front of the Kennedy Center scaffolding. Appears that one or two leaders are addressing them.

Judith A. Miller@1789jam· Jun 13

anyone know who the man in the suit is? talking to the police and motioning to people?? #kennedycenter

Small group of men talking in front of the scaffolding at the Kennedy Center and motioning to others.

Judith A. Miller@1789jam· Jun 13

Damn. They are putting up a tarp while the crowd yells at them: "Fuck America" "Have you no shame?" "Fuck Trump." #KennedyCenter

Kennedy Center scaffolding with white tarp being moved up to the top of it.

Judith A. Miller@1789jam· Jun 13

are they effing getting ready to leave? #kennedycenter

workers moving their harnesses down lower on the scaffolding of the Kennedy Center

Judith A. Miller@1789jam· Jun 13

11:59 I swear they are waiting till after midnight and then will walk off the job. #kennedycenter

scaffolding at the Kennedy Center with workers standing there doing nothing, just staring down at the crowds.

Judith A. Miller@1789jam· Jun 13

Seriously, when Russia invaded the Ukraine & got stuck in the mud, we had amazing experts on Russian tanks & truck tires. So many folks here w real expertise on Iran's geography. Where are the scaffolding experts? #KennedyCenter

Scaffolding being built way above Trump's name by the workers at the Kennedy Center.

Judith A. Miller@1789jam· Jun 13

Could someone who knows something about scaffolding explain why they are going so high? #KennedyCenter

The front of the Kennedy Center where workers are putting up scaffolding well above Trump's name.

Good session at the #Emory gym yesterday. Some weight work also. Great podcasts. Today will be lighter. #histgym @justinwolfers.bsky.social #DrNickTrubee @garmin.com

#hatm those of you who know more about cinematography/editing, it has seemed to me that the 1990s romcoms used very conventional methods. So different from the scenes that blew me away in, say, an indirectly "wedding" movie like The Graduate. Yes?

1960's scene: A woman's calf, wearing a stocking in the foreground, with a young man in a beige sportcoat, barefooted, staring at it in the back of the shot.

Long back seat of a 1960s bus, isolated figures: a young woman in a messy bridal gown and a young man in a polo black shirt and light pants.

I made a point of teaching my **freshman* seminar (Jane Austen's World) about the "long S" -- we read printed materials & handwritten materials with it. Took them 15 mins to catch on & read it w no problems. How does an editor in the field NOT know about it? #18thc en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Long_s

Two images of a Long S, which looks like a small lette f without the full line across it.

Read books. Lift weights. Fight Fascists. …and listen to ski podcasts. Good workout at the gym. Ski season is only about 7 moms away for me. #histgym
