- 腊八蒜, day one (yes I know 腊八节 was last week, but the dumpling party I throw for the grad students is not until the 28th this year due to my having a conference in Chicago the week of the Lunar New Year)
- Why art historians shouldn't translate poetry, a thread: because my soul is hopelessly rooted in the material and all I can think of is whether any of these things are actually green IRL
- I've been sharing some of the old protest songs I grew up on with the teenagers, for obvious reasons, and told them about the time a bunch of us mostly US Sinologists were asked to participate in an event marking the July 1 anniversary of the founding of the Chinese Communist Party, in Dunhuang.
- In memory of the liberation of Auschwitz, and therefore on International Holocaust Remembrance Day, our own family story of survival and resistance (open access!). Uncle Aharon lived a long and good life and his memory is a blessing.
- Going back to this because I was just teaching perspective in my mod/contemp China course, and part of the background to understanding how 18th-century painters received, or declined to receive, Renaissance-style optical perspective is to look at perspective in premodern Chinese painting (thread).

- I gave my students an in-class writing assignment in which I asked them to reflect on whether visual art styles can be inherently political. One student gave me a magnificent rant on the recent rise of politically conservative art styles. (1/3)
