Numbered #1093

@TLDuryea I love living in #Massachsetts because #GunLawsSaveLives

OMG... Author, #Harvard #historian, and #NewYorker contributor Jill Lepore, exploring her childhood #publiclibrary, invokes a surprise role model ... I will never hear her voice again without picturing a grown-up Lisa Simpson.

Lepore's #podcast "The Last Archive": The third season finale has a basement room that "smells like knowledge," the story of her #Massachsetts hometown, half hidden beneath a lake since 1895... and the sound of a Harvard historian giggling.
