Nick is a good dude and this is an excellent read.

Boston loves a Revolutionary War reference @ #HandsOff Boston

Spectacular view of 100,000 people attending the #HandsOff march in NYC

Take a moment to breathe in the air of resistance and community. And relish it. It’s ours. And it matters.

TIL that the first ship built for the Massachusetts Naval Militia (1776) was called TYRANNICIDE @pptsapper.bsky.social

ten thousand lifetimes have passed since this happened

Christopher Seider is going to Joseph Warren for improv classes.

I did not actually need my field guide to American Houses to be able to definitively say that this house is not Georgian Architecture. Or post-medieval English colonial vernacular. Or 18th century in general.

I am currently organizing the articles I've written, and I just discovered they have been changed without my consent because I dared to include "trans" in my work. I know they are technically the NPS's intellectual property, but other rangers were at least given a say in what happens to their work.

Shouting to the void, but I feel like I’m going mad for thinking “Friday was the NPS purge. Looks like today is the National Archives. I wonder who’s getting purged next.” I feel like I’m living at the start of every dystopian piece of media ever written where this is just a casual thought to have.

Breaking — All probationary employees at OPM were just fired in a mass phone call. Acting Director Chuck Ezell told staffers, "I encourage you to use this as an opportunity for your next step forward," per recording I reviewed. On site staffers were given less than an hour to leave.

The Stonewall Inn released a response to the National Parks Service removing the word transgender from the park outside of the Inn. A great reminder that we have to look after each other

They’re doing project 2025, just like we said they would

With everything happening in the NPS right now, I really didn’t think I could get more upset. But a project I worked on that meant the world to me was quietly deleted to follow the orders of the fascists in power. So much of this was already personal, but this is on another level.

The Stonewall Riots happened because trans people, particularly of color, rose up against state violence. You can’t even begin to tell the story without our trans ancestors and elders. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/13/n...

Oh my god. They removed "transgender" from the page about Trans woman Sylvia Rivera's page at the National Park service. "Sylvia Rivera began fighting for gay and _____ rights" WOW.

Kendrick Lamar deserves to win the very first Nobel Hate Prize

Ngl, this is the hater bowl. This is the greatest super bowl for haters ever.

NOT NOW, MELVILLE. READ THE ROOM.

I’ve never related to Private Joseph Bucklin more in my life.

Hey what the hell is going on with Stonewall National Park right now? I’m starting to think my partner and I downloading LGBTQ+ articles and resource guides was the correct call.

It’s important to know that a lot of productive activity is happening in person and offline, too. Not all of it can be broadcast online, but we’ve had hundreds of people showing up to our trainings, mobilizations, and more. Keep going. Tyranny is eroded by a sea of small acts. Everything matters.

This is what it feels to be alive right now—

Just remembered that when I was a kid, I began working on a comprehensive history of my favorite dinosaurs. Whenever I was allowed to use our Windows 95, I’d spend hours researching with whatever the early internet provided. I saved my opus on a fucking floppy disk. I wish I could read it now.

This past week has truly been a rollercoaster of “Do I even have a job this summer?” Vs. “Do I even want said job this summer?” until I make myself sick with worry either way.

Without downloading any new pics, where are you mentally?

Watching Attack of the Clones and the number of times Obi Wan is like “how many times have I told you” to things that should NOT have to be said more than once is HILARIOUS. The implication that Anakin repeatedly and consistently jumps out of speeders and runs through electric fences is so funny.

Considering the absolute clusterfuck last season over whether NPS employees were allowed to participate in Pride events in a DEMOCRATIC ADMINISTRATION, I’m not optimistic about this upcoming season. At all.

Inside me are two wolves: My desperate desire to live in a dark sky area. My desperate need to live in a major city. Fight.

I understand that ChatGPT is down and fortunately this is not a problem for me as I have spent considerable time developing a local language model that I am able to run autonomously, fueled by Coke Zero and snacks

Though I’ve worked in the history field for over a decade, I’m only now about to complete my degree. I don’t plan on giving up, and I might even go for my Masters next. But I’m so drained. It feels insane that classes are just business as usual while I fear for the safety of myself and my fiancé.

It's January 23, & you want to know, don't you? You want to know which historical figure bought eels on this date. Of course you do. It was Cardinal Wolsey! In 1525, his kitchen account books show an expenditure of 16d. for "eels to roast." There you are. Now go enjoy your day! 🗃️🧪

When you printed a glorious knight late at night in 1489, and woke up to notice that you forgot the lance ... #earlymodern #bookhistory #proofreading

Dr. Jones illustrating the most important and rewarding part of being an archaeologist.

As the transgender community continues to fight for civil rights in the U.S., one of the most common arguments against progress is that transgender people are a recent phenomenon. But it’s a fight that’s been happening here for decades and around the world for centuries. ⤵️

Last Wednesday I had a panic attack so intense I had to go to the ER. This weekend our wedding venue was officially confirmed. Monday was… well. It was. And today I got a formal ADHD diagnosis at last. The epic highs and lows of high school football indeed. I’m ready for the weekend.

how's january going, you ask?

I hesitated getting yet another social media platform, but honestly it’s so nice to be reunited with so many accounts I lost on the ex-bird app. So hello again! It’s nice to be here.
