This morning, Paul Ryan called for the complete elimination of funding for the NEH in his FY2015 budget plan: http://cqrcengage.com/nhalliance/app/write-a-letter?5&engagementId=42941

Oh, no, it’s a year-round kinda fool.
Replying to @rdhyee and @naypinya
There is a fool involved, but not of the April variety.
Replying to @naypinya and @rdhyee
Beyond the possibility: the issue is recurrent cuts. In adjusted $, the NEH budget is a tiny fraction of what it was.
Replying to @naypinya and @rdhyee
And the agency’s funding ratio is currently the lowest it has been in its history.
Replying to @naypinya and @rdhyee
Percentage of applications that are able to be funded.
Replying to @abbymullen
It is April, and there is a fool involved, but alas, no.

I can definitely smell something.

Yes, congrats — fantastic news!

Hey, happy birthday!
Replying to @CJ_Daugherty
Fantastic! So excited.
Replying to @CJ_Daugherty
You must feel that way. But the glorious laughing-last is about to begin!

I love it!
Good morning, Vienna! After a slightly bumpy start, I succeeded in getting 9ish hours of sleep last night. Now breakfast and a bit of work.
We'll see how well my jetlag avoidance program for this trip works. Arrived yesterday morning, ate breakfast, took 2-hr nap, walked 4 hours.
Had a lovely dinner and managed to keep myself awake until after 9 pm. And then couldn't really get to sleep until 11.15, but slept until 8.
I'm hopeful that all that walking in the sun helped with the clock-resetting. But I guess I'll find out.
Other tips on jetlag mgmt for short business trips, for what they're worth: eat twice as much breakfast as usual, and drink ALL THE COFFEE.
Replying to @tenderosa
I will do so!

Ooh, I missed this yesterday. Congratulations, Jeff; should like a great opportunity!

I was very lucky that my director forced me to think abt the arc of my dissertation & the narrative it related.
Replying to @saragoldrickrab and @gmbritton
It really changed my understanding of how scholarship ought to communicate.
Beginning the trip home from an energizing conference in Vienna, put on by the SSRC and the IWM, on Threats to Scholarly Knowledge.

I wd probably cite the kickstarter page for the project using the format for any web page, but I’ll ask around!

Once at a party I gesticulated wildly with a beer bottle, which slipped out of my fingers & landed perfectly on its bottom.
Replying to @CJ_Daugherty
I brought an entire room of people to a halt. Finally someone said, “Do that again.”
Rock on, @captain_primate! \(And I hope you get that nap\.\)

Charles & Ray were actually husband & wife. A fascinating couple.

I often wonder what it would be like to go through life with a design sense like that.

Oh, my! So completely adorable. I hope all of you are doing wonderfully!

I will send you good diurnal vibes — and will hope for plenty of rest, in any case.

So maybe the upside of the sudden return to winter will be that it puts the kibosh on my spring allergies? Yes? Please?

Hey, maybe we could talk Amazon Instant Video into producing that last season of Deadwood?
Replying to @alanyliu
This feels like a pretty broad brush. There are lots of projects that are not one-offs, but open platforms to be built on.
Replying to @Ted_Underwood and @alanyliu
A very high bar - and one that requires serious institutional & other kinds of support to clear.
Replying to @alanyliu and @Ted_Underwood
I totally get the chagrin. I hope that we can find ways to support big thinking of the sort you’re looking for.
