I started sending friends postcards as a way to connect with something that brought me joy during my childhood. I have already received several in return and to see handwritten notes from friends brings a smile to my face.

Made a friend along a trail this week. Stopped by today for one more belly rub. There are homes along the trail, so he's taken care of.

One of four British block houses along the Rideau Canal. Construction started in 1832, and it sits north of Kingston, ON, at a place called The Narrows. Quite a sight on this beautiful day!

I had such a fun experience selling vintage clothing on Saturday that I wanted to write about how those garments connect us to the past. We wear the stories of the past and are curators of our closets. open.substack.com/pub/thetatto...

I have a new blog post coming up tomorrow morning to start your week. It's totally free to read and subscribe!

Spent yesterday selling vintage clothing with my wife at Stratford Vintage Market. This was our first time setting up as Yankee Vandal Vintage and it was a wonderful time! The name Yankee Vandal comes from a troll who called me that in the comments of a livestream one time.😂

So happy to hear that @ww2tv.bsky.social is getting WW1TV fired up on YouTube in the near future. Consider subscribing to both of his channels. He brings on some fantastic historians and Paul is a good guy.

The number of times that I have been labelled "stupid," "dumb," or some other derogatory terms I won't repeat because of a post supporting libraries is telling. There are so many angry people out there. I truly hope they find happiness.

Unlearning "asks you to turn around and look at the stories that you have been carrying...It compels you to sit with the realization that some of those stories were never built to hold the full truth." My latest blog post is now available on Substack: open.substack.com/pub/thetatto...

What are some of your favourite museums? Let's list them in the comments!

Drove past a sign that read: “Unlearning is more challenging than learning.” It hit harder than I expected. Most of the real growth I’ve done as a historian and citizen has come from letting go of the stories I was handed, not collecting new ones. New piece goes live in the morning.
