The Mall. Exists. For loitering.

i don't really know how "the government is sending deportees to dangerous countries on purpose to imprison or kill them" is not a bigger story

Okay 🗃️ historian friends, I'm about to deep dive into spatial histories to talk about a Savannah River region that is equal parts Georgia and South Carolina. Y'all know any good titles on river regions that transcend state/country/other manmade lines?

Nothing makes me more grateful for birth control than my research

Kind of feel like we especially don’t need fancy law explainers at the moment. “Can the president just take money when he wants?” A third grader could answer this. A Yale law prof is likelier to write the wrong answer so their 2L can work for Alito

So you CAN get reparations you just have to be a reactionary white person who tries to overthrow the government because black votes shouldn’t count

this graduation speech moment is notable, and her amazed shock at having failed to read the room feels instructive. when you're inside the bubble, you think everybody else is. but everybody isn't.

Happy Mother's Day time to grade 25 blue books!

Sad week for Braves fans. Ted and Bobby!

2/ We found at least 79 children hurt by tear gas or pepper spray during Trump’s deportation blitz. It’s likely a vast underestimate. Kids were at home, sitting in strollers or attending a daytime protest with their parents. Then, chemicals left them gasping for air.

Logging off for the day. I don't remember the last time I felt this hopeless and angry.

“Use AI to brainstorm but not to write.” “Use AI to help you outline but not to write.” These are commonly proposed as “ethical” ways for undergrad students to use AI, but I’m sorry, brainstorming & outlining are just as integral to writing as the actual construction of sentences.

Is this also the most corporate-speak thing you've ever heard?

Since Neatline is gone, I'm probably going to have to outsource some digital mapping work I wanted to do. I can geo-reference the map just fine, but I'll need to add points and interpretation for a webpage. Is this a job for...geographers? Digital history students? How much to budget? Ahhh 🗃️ help

Having to watch the Braves on Apple TV feels illegal

Georgia tried to pass a lot of anti-LGBTQIA bills this year and FAILED. One of them was HB 104, which tried to stop trans kids from playing sports. So here's my spite donation of $104 plus fees to Protect Trans Kids University Edsbscharitybowl.com @edsbs.bsky.social @hollyanderson.bsky.social

Friends, 🗃️, do y'all know of a really good Reconstruction historiography at an undergrad level? Having a hard time finding an intro with authors names attached

"I had no idea that USAID did this kind of work," USAID's chief of staff told our client, former USAID Global Health chief Nicholas Enrich, as he described the agency's life-saving programs. "I just assumed it was just abortions." Which USAID never funded. More: https://ow.ly/PPyh50YITax

Excuse my corniness, I'm excited

The biggest story in the world right now is that the president of the United States is a demented old man who takes pleasure in torturing and killing people and is committing crimes with impunity. And yet most legacy media outlets are too cowardly to tell it like it is.

They're getting coooooked right now though

I knew Jessie Buckley could sing but I didn't know she could Cover Sinead O'Connor sing youtu.be/8fbc9DV1Pws?... (The bell-like clarity of her voice is both my favorite thing and the thing that makes this unlike the magic of the original)
