"'Twas the Night Before Christmas" is now 200: It was first published in the Troy (N.Y.) Sentinel on December 23, 1823.

Since my family has an unusually large collection of copies, here is a 🧵 of the poem—with some of the best work of illustrators from the last two centuries. Image 'Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house
Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse;

Undergrads: Take electives in arts & humanities unrelated to major.

Writers out of school: Pitch book reviews. (Happy to discuss how.)

Everybody: Try new things, go to shows & art museums. Read widely, esp. smart criticism. If $ is short, public libraries are amazing resources. @here_to_talk_1 So find some publications you'd like to write for and look at the masthead to figure out the correct editor to reach out to. And spend some time reading the kinds of things that they publish. Familiarize yourself with the length and tone and style of their pieces.

Another year, another mess of material pouring into the public domain, as remaining U.S. copyrights on works created in 1927 have expired today. A little thread... All of the original Sherlock Holmes works by Arthur Conan Doyle are at last in the public domain. 'The Case-Book of Sherlock Holmes' came out in 1927, and its contents couldn't be republished in the U.S. without a license before today.

Some great philosophers, illustrated—a 🧵.

These are in no particular order, but we really must start with Sockrates. Play-doh Plato

This week, charges of antisemitism were leveled against a prominent figure in the otherwise quaint, charming, and frankly quite awesome community of fountain pen collectors and enthusiasts. (Really.)

Here's a short thread. A man named Nathan Tardif founded the "Noodler's" brand of inks and pens. He's wildly innovative, and has created many inks—some very popular—and a range of affordable pens designed to be easily taken apart and put back together. I gather that Noodler's is a one-man operation. ImageImage

APROPOS OF ABSOLUTELY NOTHING AT ALL: Can I say a few words about a handful of pieces we've published recently in @TWSculture? I just want to highlight a few of my favorites from 2018. 1/ I'll start with this brilliant piece by David Skinner (@EditorSkinner). It's HUGE—and it's the best essay you will ever read about dictionaries. It's brand-new—it's on the cover (!) of the mag this week—but David started work on it back in March. 2/
