My forthcoming book just earned a Kirkus starred review. What!?! Thank you ⁦@UNC_Press ⁦@GreatCircleBks⁩ @KirkusReviews⁩. Everywhere the Undrowned: A Memoir of Survival and Imagination (Great Circle Books) a.co/d/iMKFqR6

@UNC_Press's Great Circle Books is 2 for 2! Both of the first 2 titles in the series have earned starred reviews from Kirkus: @steep_smith's EVERYWHERE THE UNDROWNED started us off and now Maria Pinto’s FEARLESS, SLEEPLESS, DEATHLESS earns that 🌟kirkusreviews.com/book-reviews/m…

We are living in the dumbest timeline in human history. 😳

@Martina Maybe he gave it away and this is his way of letting us know.

Jesus… not sure it’s dementia or he is just this stupid

Since we passed the Affordable Care Act, Republicans have tried over and over to repeal it. And over and over, they’ve failed — in part because millions of people now depend on the ACA for quality, affordable health care. Now Republicans are trying something different: quietly weakening the law and hoping you won’t notice. We can’t let them.

@LimogesRobynne @calyxpress @SonyaBonczek @UNC_Press Thank you! And I’ll share your comment with the reviewer.

@PepeAMDG @lithub Good advice!

@steep_smith @lithub I find pockets of fascinating, engaging life here, just like there are oases in a desert. That’s why I’d be sad to see @lithub go. (I thinking limiting time online in general helps!)

@PepeAMDG @lithub I go back and forth on this, too. But I’m exhausted from the angry mess.

@lithub Abandoning the world’s largest digital public square—messy though it clearly is—voids your opportunity to influence culture. I hope you will reconsider.

@lithub On my way!

Let their be wisdom

This morning, we won a court order blocking Elon Musk, the world’s richest man, from accessing Americans’ private data. Musk and his DOGE employees must destroy all records they've obtained. I've said it before, and I'll say it again: no one is above the law.

Recently, two of our authors have had their US visas revoked and talks canceled. As a university press, we stand with our authors. For over 100 years, we have stood for academic freedom and open discourse, and continue to do so. Read more⬇️ uncpressblog.com/2025/01/31/aca…
