This just arrived from a friend at the Smithsonian. Really cool addition.

You should read this. You should read this right now.

Blueskis, I am the first @draftingthepast.bsky.social guest to return to the pod! To celebrate, @katecarp.bsky.social and I are going to mix things up a bit. Get ready! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

If you’ve ever thought “wow I’d like something that tastes like cough syrup but comes in a can and there are 12 of them in a pack” well I have great news about Mountain Dew Dragon Fruit

THREAD. 🧵

That was really, really good.

I first visited Puerto Rico in 1998 and I’ve been in love with the island ever since.

A conversation I had with the boys’ mom last night. We are divorced 11 years this year. But I’m really glad I can have a partner in parenting like her.

Good morning. The President of the United States was in the middle of the most serious child sex trafficking ring of the last quarter century. He is referenced not a dozen times in the case files. Not 100 times. Not 1,000 times. He’s referenced 38,000 times.

BREAKING: The Epstein survivors are releasing this ad on this Super Bowl Sunday to send the message that they will not “move on” from the largest sex trafficking scandal in the world. #standwithsurvivors

Coming to Reckoning with Jason Herbert tomorrow- @profwehrman.bsky.social drops in to talk about how debates over smallpox and public health worked to forge a national identity in the early Republic

I don’t know that much about American politics, but whenever I see a clip of Ossoff I think “why is there not more presidential chatter about this guy?”

🎧 New episode: a deep dive into the psychology of the Nuremberg Trials, where history, justice, and morality collide. Can we understand evil without losing our humanity? Tune in. Share it if you like it.

I am tired of having to verify that I'm human to bots that are not human.

It’s funny. I seem to remember my hairline starting way earlier than this

Thankful for this pod that introduced me to @jreedmo.bsky.social I am typically not speechless. But Julie leaves me speechless as she talks about the story of her people, which is also her story. I do not often buy a book before I hear the author speak on @herberthistory.bsky.social’s pod, but

Wow! What sounded like the entire AEW Dynamite audience in Las Vegas tonight chanted "Fuck ICE! Fuck ICE!" in unison before the main event

When you become a historian you dream of writing the Big Important Work™️. Well, this isn’t that big, but I still think it’s important. Full story below. ⬇️

Thank you so much! I’m thrilled you liked the series & found it enlightening. “Forgotten America: Rediscovering Events that Changed the Nation” is available through The Great Courses Plus or Audible. 🗃️ bit.ly/4omm0oi

You think you know Cherokee history—until you hear Julie Reed talk about land, language, and women. cc: @uncpress.bsky.social Links below. #Cherokee #CherokeeNation #EasternBandofCherokeeIndians #womenshistory #NorthCarolina #Oklahoma

This challenge coin just arrived from a friend at NPS. I’ve got BLM already. Who is next? Corps of Engineers? Fish and Wildlife? Trading these is my little pastime.

I’m not great at self-promotion, but my new book enabled me to highlight so many people I admire and respect, especially artists, who have helped me see a wider array of primary documents available to scholars.

Land is not scenery. Language is not metaphor. History is not neutral. And women are not on the periphery. This conversation with @jreedmo.bsky.social wrestles with what Cherokee land and language reveal about power, memory, and who gets to define meaning in America.

Wow. What a movie. Thanks everyone for being here tonight. We’re gonna take the week off for the Super Bowl and we’ll be back in two weeks. Let’s have a great week together. #HATM

FOREST SERVICE!!!!! #HATM

Getting older is a hell of reality check. #HATM

There’s a lot of talk tonight about forest fires. I can tell you that with the utter lack of precipitation this winter we are all very aware that it could be a very big season for fires. #HATM

I lived in Kansas for five years. Can confirm. #HATM

"That's because you Minnesota fellas don't know anything about history." As a guy with a Ph.D. in history from the University of Minnesota, that one stings a bit. #HATM

OK, between this movie and Sinners, which one do you think has better cinematography ? I would like to see sinners win yet somehow I feel this has a more natural quality to it. #HATM

I'm enjoying these glimpses back and forth. #HATM

Wanna know more about railroads? I got you, boo. #HATM amzn.to/3ZHXCSL

The most often asked question I get since I started working for the Forest Service: "What's it like working for the National Parks?" #HATM

I am once again petitioning for a meet cute with Felicity Jones. #HATM

Good lord the cinematography in this film is already insanely gorgeous. #HATM

Joel Edgerton is one of my favorite actors. He's just so good. #HATM

I mean, I guess I’ll go with Daniel Boone National Forest, because it’s in Kentucky. #HATM
