Aren't they something. They're like butterflies, or little pieces of wrapping paper blowing around.

Maria, if you'd call them up and tell them you're interested in giving a heap of money, and then pull the rug out from under them after you'd strung them along for a while . . . I might laugh.

I've told everyone I supervise that if they need to get the hell out of here and find someplace where it is easier to breath the code words are "I'm going to the stacks to do research" and I will give them cover if anyone comes looking. I actually had a week's warning and saw a draft of the letter, but it still made my heart stop, so I can't imagine what it is doing to the people who got it as a surprise today.

I wore all black today: my new black Banana Republic dress, black boots, black cashmere sweater. I'm in prospective mourning for my job. And my free time.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

I might laugh.

I would definitely laugh. Especially if I insisted that the gift was contingent on allowing pro-choice guest speakers when the topic has nothing to do with abortion.

Good god: some assholes destroyed $25m of Italian wine: [link]

I've had Brunello di Montalcino, although not the (very expensive) kind that was destroyed. It was good.

Always Anti-fascist!

I hate it when I get worried about something and become convinced it's real. I have to remind myself that I do, on occasion at least, get paid to make shit up.
