One of the spots I wanted to add to my #Pittsburgh snowglobe series was the giant ketchup bottle on the Heinz History Center & the conditions couldn't have been any more perfect this morning. The ground was covered and the snow was really coming down, making for a magical scene.

This tiny boxwood peapod (10cm) was carved in 1500 AD, by a North German artist. It opens to reveal little peas, and then those peas open to reveal ten little carved scenes from Genesis.
Now housed at the Museum of Decorative Arts in Berlin.

A huge honor to be this year’s guest editor for The Best American Short Stories anthology (the last for @HeidiPitlor as series editor😭). I love short stories. I love these writers. We’ll be celebrating at Selected Shorts (10/23) & The Lynx (12/6). 🧡

Should we consider math a language? @benorlin considers new ways to think about—and have fun with—numbers, variables and equations.

Just sent in my application for @CatherineProj . Very excited to see if I'll be getting up at 5AM on Mondays to read Icelandic sagas, or stay up until 11PM on Thursdays to discuss Thucydides... or any of the other courses I ranked. Such a fantastic initiative.

"The LIFE OF THE MIND SEMINAR opens up the territory of the great books to beginners. We enter into conversation with their authors and with one another, setting aside our preconceptions and pursuing questions without knowing where they might lead."
