@pronounced-ing.bsky.socialReposted by @nichecanada.bsky.social"...Little public things—like designing postage stamps or National Park Service photographer stipends or spending the pittance of pre-DOGE NEA dollars on public programming—did something to cohere a nation.

@dissentum.bsky.socialReposted by @nichecanada.bsky.socialIf you have money to invite scholars to give talks on campus, you don't *have to* get the star people. Invite early career people! I have done it many times and it's a great way to boost people's careers. You can also invite non-star people who are also doing great work!
