BOUQ:

To the University of North Florida for receiving a Preservation and Access Education and Training grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) for 2025. The college was one of only eight institutions nationwide to receive the award. Grants are awarded to support projects that address major challenges in preserving or providing access to humanities collections and resources, and prepare the next generation of conservators and preservation professionals.  

 

BRICK:

To President Trump for signing an executive order withdrawing from participation in the World Health Organization, a group founded, in part, by the U.S. in 1948. Since its founding WHO has saved countless lives in this country, protecting us from smallpox, polio and other diseases now under control due to vaccines, among other accomplishments. It should come as no surprise then that Trump withdrew from WHO considering he once said 99% of all COVID cases were totally harmless. (Because he’s an immunologist, you know.) What’s next? Closing hospitals to open pickleball courts?
