Thank you, @ValerieFoushee, for visiting the Center yesterday to speak with this year's fellowship class.
It was great speaking to fellows with @NatlHumanities to discuss the state of our democracy and federal funding cuts.
Cuts proposed by this Administration create uncertainty for many Americans working in humanities, and I will continue to fight to counter these actions.

It is always fantastic to welcome @RepDeborahRoss to the NHC to speak with Fellows and staff.
It's always a pleasure hearing from the fellows at the National Humanities Center about how Congress can better support them in advancing our cultural and artistic capabilities.

Thanks to @NatlHumanities for supporting my research on the surrealist special issues of the 1990s American journal "Race Traitor" which I will discuss in my lecture tomorrow night @CourtauldRes in London. I hear it's going to be a big crowd. Cool.
