On Black & White & Read All Over, we have a resources page for academics to find publications to pitch their work to, an announcements page to celebrate the accomplishments of our colleagues, and a page that's literally just pictures of our cat Biscuits because we understand this community's needs.

Proud to be part of this Starter Pack: go.bsky.app/DVvnBGh

Happy Dorothy Day Day! memorydaycalendar.blogspot.com/p/november-n...

Happy Herman Mankiewicz Day! Ain't that American film & culture? memorydaycalendar.blogspot.com/p/november-n...

I reviewed The Godfather Part II (1974) this week and am actively nervous to share it because it's a comparative study. Be cool, everyone just be cool and know that I'm sorry. Here's my latest: The Godfather 2½: Simba's Pride

Honestly, a banger of a lineup on this schedule. You won't want to miss it! Also this is my first ever keynote and is due in large part to @lizwfab.bsky.social and their neverending support!

Teaching Faulkner in Am Lit II this afternoon, the first time I'll do so since Dad's passing. Which will be another tough moment of course, but also an occasion to share--with them, & with y'all--the third & most impressive of his DH projects, Digital Yoknapatawpha! 🗃️ faulkner.iath.virginia.edu

Happy John Philip Sousa Day & Derrick Bell Day! Ain't that celebratory & critical patriotism? memorydaycalendar.blogspot.com/p/november-n...

Have an op-ed bubbling up about yesterday's results or an essay on Eugene Debs or a blog post on the concept of "hope" that you just have to write but don't know where to pitch it? Head over to our Pitchables page to find over 50 public publications, sites, and podcasts open to pitches:

Humanities programs have 3 perfect tools here: "There's a reason they don't want you studying it" paired with "The only way to tear this down and rebuild is by practicing the empathy, understanding, and critical thought that can come with studying the humanities" and "We're already doing it."

Happy Benjamin Butler Day & Ida Tarbell Day! Inspiring American figures for a very inspiring & American morning. memorydaycalendar.blogspot.com/p/november-n...

We are in the midst of the 140 year anniversary of the three day reign of anti-Chinese terror in Tacoma (though that terror preceded and extended far after Chinese Tacomas were driven out by a mob led by the Tacoma mayor). www.tacomamethod.com#home-section

Obviously there are lots of vital ways to commemorate Native American Heritage Month, but high on the list is voting. Proud of the millions who did so today. www.saturdayeveningpost.com/2018/10/cons...

A few years into blogging, I was fortunate enough to be asked by the one & only @hcrichardson.bsky.social to cross-post some of my pieces & share new thoughts on public scholarship on her The Historical Society blog. It was a turning point for me, & I believe for her turn to public scholarship too.

As part of an FSU faculty speaker series, I had the chance yesterday to share some of my experiences, choices, & lessons from creating the 1st season of my podcast, The Celestials' Last Game: Baseball, Bigotry, & the Battle for America. Just 30 mins, so check it out! drive.google.com/file/d/1KIbS...

What a hero.

Another piece of art as protest, just down the road from the Dunkin. The words of the 14th Amendment still show through the painting-over, & goddamn right they do. bsky.app/profile/stou...

Another reason we all need to read & share @gvaughnjoy.bsky.social’s forthcoming book.

Not trying to be ghoulish, but I'll say this: Dick Cheney represents the worst of our political traditions & legacies. (Trump is a whole new horror, as Cheney recognized, but that don't change the past.) @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social represents the best of our story & future. I like the duality.

Happy Will Rogers Day & Ruth Handler Day! memorydaycalendar.blogspot.com/p/november-n...

On the wall of an abandoned Dunkin in Fitchburg, just down the street from my campus, somebody spray-painted key words from the 14th Amendment. A few days later it had been painted over--2025, y'know--but @gvaughnjoy.bsky.social was able to snag a pic first. & it got me thinking about protest art.

15 years ago this week, I started my AmericanStudier daily blog. A ton has happened since then, with the blog (which migrated to Wordpress, then back to Blogspot, & now has moved to our new website), with my public scholarly career, &, well, in a heck of a lot of other ways for AmericanStudying. +

No, YOU made a webpage on your public scholarship site for your cat so she would feel more involved in the family business.

We've hit 200 subscribers for our new Black & White & Read All Over site! Thanks so much to folks who've connected to us in that way, & to everyone who's checked it out. It's a tough thing to leave our established communities at Substack, but worth it, especially with support! blackwhiteandread.com

#Blackademics I should start an independent academic indexing site. Something to break the dominance of academic publishers in measuring scholarly impact. Who else wants to go for it?

So, for my new @satevepost.bsky.social Considering History column, on foundational American histories of protest art & art as protest (two distinct but interconnected categories), from the Revolution to Civil Rights, Diego Rivera to Keith Haring, & more!🗃️ www.saturdayeveningpost.com/2025/11/cons...

A reminder that I have an e-copy of the book that I am happy to email to anyone who might be interested. Let me know & solidarity!

Highly recommended: the special exhibit "Monstrous" at Mystic Seaport Museum, especially Jos Sances' mural "Or, The Whale," a massive black-and-white Diego Rivera-like panorama of centuries of protest images. mysticseaport.org/exhibit/mons...

Once more before Sunday ends, & for some pre #HATM reading, here’s today’s thread. Please share widely, thanks! 🗃️ @sifill.bsky.social

The Kansas City Chiefs and Buffalo Bills are about to face each other this afternoon which is notable because they're the only two NFL teams with official Hallmark Christmas movies. With that kind of conservative media representation, I don't want to hear another word about Bad Bunny.

It’s November, and like Mariah it’s time for my 248th #ScholarSunday thread of great public scholarly writing & work, podcast episodes, new & forthcoming books from the past week to be defrosted. Add more below, share as widely as possible, & enjoy, all! 🗃️ blackwhiteandread.com/scholarsunda...

For the brunch crowd, here's today's #ScholarSunday thread. Please share widely to get all this great public scholarship to all the folks, & thanks! @feministkelly.bsky.social 🗃️

The hardest part of building a new home for our public scholarship to get off of Substack is rebuilding our communities. If you are or have ever been a fan of my Review Roulette or @americanstudier.bsky.social's #ScholarSunday threads and AmericanStudier blog, please subscribe to keep getting them!

@bschillace.brandyschillace.com Thanks! Sorry I missed the latest Peculiar Book Club ep, will share in next week's thread!

The Blob (1958) is a crazy film about a monster who throws a puppy at a space specimen to save herself and also a lot of 50s stuff and the existential crisis of climate change. But it's largely about Jane pretending to give a shit about a dog.

For the 15 (!) years I've been writing my AmericanStudier blog, my favorite thing has been the chance to share Guest Posts, to feature y'all's voices & ideas, writing & work. The move to our new Black & White & Read All Over site not only hasn't changed that, it makes me even more excited to do so!+

🎄🎄🎄 Merry Christmas! 🎄🎄🎄 My book on Christmas films, McCarthyism, and how our cultural media works comes out on November 17th! I'd love to come talk about it on podcasts, blogs, and history sites in essays, film spaces, and more! In person in eastern MA, online everywhere!

Happy Parker David Robbins Day! memorydaycalendar.blogspot.com/p/november-n...

We live in an apartment that doesn't get trick-or-treaters so took a bowl of candy around our neighborhood to give out on the go and made sure to specify "we live in an apartment but wanted to do Halloween" so it wasn't weird and so many parents were like AW and kids were like STREET CANDY. 10/10.
