what even is the fucking point

I was told our new book is somewhere in Rose City Book Pub @stevenvanwolputte.bsky.social, but I was unable to locate it. I guess I’ll have to come back and try again.

5 authors I've read at least 5 books by Salman Rushdie Zadie Smith Ursula LeGuin Milan Kundera Raymond Chandler

You know that old trees just grow stronger And old rivers grow wilder every day Old people just grow lonesome Waiting for someone to say "Hello in there, hello" RIP to a real one, and thank you for your gift to the world

A large banner featuring Jeffrey Epstein's best friend, a 34 time convicted felon and serial rapist, was hung on the exterior of the US Justice Department headquarters.

The Supreme Court:

If you are a journalist or part of a cultural group in the Kansas City/Lawrence area and want someone to talk about Algeria, soccer, and the ties between Algeria's independence struggle and the sport, hit me up. I will be in KCMO all summer and I'm happy to speak in any format.

This is the Alysa Liu performance everyone is talking about, and yes, you should watch it! www.youtube.com/watch?v=VCrF...

So the Board of Peace was convened to start a war, do I have that right?

Yesterday, those who teach Intro to Sociology at Florida colleges (as opposed to universities) received a ready-made curriculum from the state and were ordered to teach it. Yes, you read that correctly. The *state* is enforcing a curriculum on college profs, complete w/ the following restrictions:

We have a neighbor who takes long walks for a well-equipped rolling liter patrol. Yay neighbor!

So delighted to attend the opening of Toxicité coloniale, Samia Henni’s expo re: France’s nuclear detonations in Algeria. I’m proud to be one of the many collaborators & translators who contributed. A wonderful crowd turned up at this evening’s vernissage at UQAM’s Centre de design.

Black History Month!

Portland Parks & Recreation wants community input on the new indoor aquatic center coming to Northgate Park. Come to Roosevelt High School, 6941 N. Central St., tonight from 6-8pm and share your thoughts on the final design concept.

So when thousands of women (and children) were being duplicated--including in non-consensual AI porn--it was no big deal. But it took "only a 15-sec clip" of these two famous white men to draw outrage and fear. Gotcha. Cool cool.

It’s finally done. Absolutely thrilled to have submitted THE SHAH'S GREAT TOUR – my global microhistory of the epic royal journeys of Persia's monarchs to Imperial Europe – for production. May it reshape our understanding of monarchy and the world order in the imperial age.

Not a lover of country music, but I could listen to this all day. It’s not Bad Bunny, it’s a country music band playing in TX, and being applauded by the bar patrons. Are ppl finally waking up and realizing that true patriotism means embracing the constitution and the words on the statue of liberty?

Legendary founder of NPR programming Bill Siemering is enjoying Zoom visiting with students so much that he's asked me to put a second call out. No honorarium necessary. Any takers?

In 1854, after watching the federal government deploy 2000 federal troops and spend $40,000 sending Anthony Burns back into slavery, Boston's Amos Adams Lawrence said “we went to bed one night old-fashioned, conservative, Compromise Union Whigs and waked up stark mad Abolitionists.”

NEW KNEECAP

I've watched very little but this photograph is fantastic.

Ok, so I’m a Star Trek nerd.

My university outsourced our bookstore to some new company, and they stopped carrying books written by faculty. A faculty member offered to donate copies of their book for the bookstore to sell, and they said it was against corporate policy

Doesn't it seem that the goal is to shut down vaccines so they can introduce in a year or so their own shitty vaccines and directly pay themselves with govt billions? What else is TrumpRX being built for? Come on people.

damn it

reupping this -- if you are a historian who works on any aspect of Indigenous-European relations in the French Americas, please consider about submitting!

News: The top-secret whistleblower complaint against Tulsi Gabbard is related to a conversation intercepted last spring in which two foreign nationals discussed Jared Kushner, according to U.S. officials familiar with the matter. www.wsj.com/politics/nat...

The fury we should direct at these ignorant people for threatening all our futures - "erasing scientific finding"? The absolute nerve & lack of humanity is hard to fathom... "Trump ... announced he was erasing the scientific finding that climate change endangers human health and the environment"

UPDATE: reports from on site note that on a recent visit, our book was no longer in the stacks, and now, there are TWO copies on the shelves. Front-facing proceeded per protocol.

This is the second account - the first being in Chicago - of DHS agents mass detaining people and then *sorting them by race*.

Masterclass As usual

Yay libraries! (in this case @multcolib.bsky.social, a great library system)

this is fucking obscene! this is obscene! this is fucking obscene! it obscene to spend TWICE THE TRIMET BUDGET GAP ON A FUCKING BALL STADIUM.

We need a ballot measure so the public can roundly reject this.

Right now Rikers Island, the physically largest jail in the entire United States, is holding under 7,000 people. ICE's warehouse plans include detention camps which will hold between 8,500-10,000 people in buildings not designed for human habitation.

Was that Travel Oregon ad national?

This is rather special. Marc Bloch was a titan of modern historiography, and a big influence on me as a young history student. He was a brilliant French medievalist murdered by the Gestapo for both his Jewishness and his contribution to French resistance, but they couldn’t kill his work

The ‘You Don’t Have to Apologize for Being White Anymore’ guys have now made it against the law to use the word Black at college.

Huzzah! The Return of the King!
