There are fewer and fewer tenure-track jobs out there. So when someone asks you to write a letter of recommendation and the deadline is over three weeks away say "yes" and send the damn thing in on time. Don't write to the posting Department and ask for another week or two. We're all busy, and it'd be nice to not have to write so many letters, but your letter could potentially help get someone a job they've spent decades in some cases working towards; not submitting…

On the weathered, light-colored concrete wall behind the fence, black spray-painted capital letters spell out the phrase "I BELIEVE IN WERNER HERZOG". The wall shows signs of aging with peeling paint and dirt along the base.

P.S.
The answer might be a social network, that is, recommendation letters, personal contacts, meeting people, being invited to talks, being introduced.
But that brings with it all the insider dealings and power structures of well-connected people. It's somewhat anti-meritocratic. How should excellent people from outside the system enter the system then if they first need to be "discovered" in a world full of noise and ostentation?

“Do you think emojis will ever become part of formal language? Are we going to see emojis in laws or letters from the pension fund?” - Emojis are mainly used in informal language, because (or that’s why?) one of their main functions is to signal closeness, familiarity and a lack of hierarchy between the conversation participants. This is also the reason why a lack of emojis from a personal chat message may trigger questions like “what have I done?!”, because it could signal that the friendly relationship is disturbed. So I think emojis wouldn’t be used in legal code. But in official letters, maybe! I once received an email from a university administrator with a ☺️ and I appreciated it a lot.

The Constant Gardener by le Carré. Beautiful pale blue sky-evoking paperback cover with three randomly placed bees in flight. Author and title in gold capitals, short blurb in smaller black letters.

my letters and words ran from right to left, reversed as if in a mirror.
Being left-handed, I was imitating the hand strokes of my right-handed teachers instead of reversing their strokes to replicate the letters.

I get the concept and how that’s
supposed to work but in cases like this Liquid Glass could ditch the realism aspect in favor of aesthetics.
Don’t highlight neighboring items font in the bar if they are not selected at all. The glass blob selector should not even let them shine through.

Screenshot of the DHL app cropped
to the tab bar at the bottom. The second item is selected and colorfully highlighted and the other items are muted. EXCEPT tiny bits
of the neighboring items letters inside the Liquid Glass selector which are also highlighted.

I just learned that #Fedle has a training mode. Today's English clue is: 5 letters, starting with T. My first guess was "train". Instead of counting "train" as a guess, Fedle put me into training mode, and I had to solve another word before returning to today's word!

Let me say something fun about the #Polish language.
When you name the letters of the alphabet, "G" is pronounced "gye" (with "g" pronounced similarly to "good", not "George").
"Gie" also exists as a euphemism for "gówno", or shit. It has the same pronunciation, it's derived from the letter "g" in that word.
Well, we were prepared for #Google.

The executive branch plays no role in making election policy or regulating election administration
—the Constitution explicitly leaves those responsibilities to the states and Congress.
The “Proposed Rule: Ballot Mail for Federal Elections” therefore conflicts with the Constitution.
Beyond that, it is bad policy that will make it harder for election administrators to do their jobs,
runs the risk of potentially disenfranchising voters
and increases the chance of …

Mullin threatens states that refuse Trump's election demands
Mullin also repeated his threat of withholding Federal Emergency Management Agency grant funding to states that don’t work to “secure” elections.
“If they’re not willing to do it, it should raise serious questions.
It’s not that hard. This isn’t a partisan issue,”
the homeland security secretary said.
This also comes after the Trump justice department sent letters to election officials in every sta…

My fellow Mastodonians, can we all give this idea a little bit of praise, please?

A cartoon illustration of a yellow elephant centered on a solid yellow background. The top of the elephant's head is formed by the nozzle and ridged cap of a squeeze bottle. Yellow liquid splashes out from the end of the elephant's trunk in several droplets. The elephant features large ears, ears, a small tail, and an open-mouthed smile. Below the figure, the text "mustardon" appears in white lowercase letters with a dark brown outline.

Between May 29 and July 9,
roughly 51,000 comments were posted to regulations.gov
(and over 200,000 more had been received but not yet published).
The verdict on public sentiment is clear and lopsided:
about 94 percent oppose the proposed rule and only 6 percent support it,
with fewer than one percent marked as unclear.
The opposition is overwhelmingly grassroots rather than orchestrated.
Form letters make up only about 16 percent of all comments…

Threats to prosecute sheriffs in Minneapolis and Chicago,
cities that have experienced some of the most intense immigration enforcement of the Trump era,
are a new salvo in the president’s campaign against state and local officials
who refuse to embrace his administration’s crackdown.
The warnings have been conveyed in a series of letters that federal agents began hand-delivering in early July
-- to Sheriff Dawanna Witt of Hennepin County, Minn., which includes …

A note from my journal that I just stumbled across again.
It's fascinating how you can always put things in a new context just by flipping back through old entries.
Almost as if the process of coming to terms with things continues way beyond the last entry.

A handwritten note in blue ink on lined or textured paper, framed within a hand-drawn blue square. Inside the square, the text reads in capital and cursive-style letters: "A GREAT JOURNEY always includes OTHERS". Fragments of handwritten German text surround the framed square on the top, left, and bottom edges.
