In 2018, I heard a story of tunnels beneath Columbus, Ga. They were used to transport enslaved peoples before the Civil War, this person told me. What followed was my pursuit of the truth. www.youtube.com/watch?v=FzbP...

Happy publication day to "Dance and Sociability in the Long Eighteenth Century"! So many thanks to Bloomsbury and all of the contributing authors who worked with Mark, Ian, and me to bring this volume together! We could not have done it without you! #dancehistory #18thcentury

I am so sleepy but the concert last night was amazing and I'm hanging out with my sister and this is all good.

It feels like it's been impossible to get people outside of higher ed to understand that eliminating staff/programs/majors is primarily an ideological project, whatever claims are made about finances. What's happened at the Post is what's been happening in higher ed for ages.

Their entire position is “you cannot stop me from doing whatever the fuck I want” How do you negotiate with that???? By inventing new rules for them to break and giving them new toys? How stupid does one have to be

Actually starting to feel very allergic to the claim that Epstein's crimes are a function of his class. His money obviously increased the scale of his abuse and granted him additional impunity, but to say that wealth was the genesis of his depravity feels like willful blindness to gender.

this rules

@hannahjadagu.bsky.social you were fantastic in Minneapolis tonight!

My idea for reforming ICE is somewhere in the Carthago delenda est realm.

I am definitely the oldest person in the pit, there are other olds confining their kids to the sidelines.

The Dem polling for Presidential candidates is meaningless, y'all, no one is running, it's too early, those are just names people recognize. Breathe, Jesus fucking Christ.

This is it. And the founders also never really envisioned a system like industrial and post-industrial capitalism that would be *fundamentally at odds* with their vision of a democratic republic. Which is why capitalism must be dismantled.

Some people will be tempted to think that having the state dictate faculty teaching loads we can repair trust in institutions and avoid authoritarianism when in actuality having the state dictate faculty teaching is part of an authoritarian program.

“If I am killed doing this, throw my body at the White House, martyr the shit out of me & raise hell. Do not be sad. Do not think I would do anything differently. I would do it over & over again — this is too important to sit down & shut up and not do anything.” www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...

That mask is also popular with neo-Nazi accelerationist groups, which I think is really important to mention. Just like it's important to mention that ICE agents in Denver have been dropping Ace of Spades cards where they've kidnapped people. The white nationalist culture at work is clear.

Once again about to be the oldest person at a Del Water Gap concert, but my firstborn is super excited for it, and I'm super excited to be here with him.

Folks: This is important. SHEAR—the Society for Historians of the Early American Republic (a GREAT organization)—is tracking examples of the regime erasing history. More at the link below.

Pope Leo XIV is facing his first major crisis with traditionalist Catholics.

This is a mask *very* specifically associated with Atomwaffen and Nazi Terrorgram (as OP notes downthread)

Bringing a trio of emotional support monographs on my research trip.

The Utah Historical Society just produced a new, excellent map of "The Peoples of North America in 1776." Great resource for anyone teaching, writing, presenting about Native peoples as part of their 250th work. america250.utah.gov/power-of-pla...

Hi. I'm an OSINT researcher with experience targeting violent extremism, influence operations, and financial market threats. Most recently, I worked at Graphika turning complex data into actionable intelligence for clients, and before that worked at Spotify removing online harms.

The Black woman in the movie is ruining the authenticity of the cyclops eating the ship's crew.

"Having a Black woman in a movie about the Greek Gods sending Odysseus on a decade long hell trip fighting endless monsters en route home from the God War is not Historically Accurate" y'all are the truly dumbest motherfuckers ever born on this rock hurtling through the void.

Hey all--absolutely no pressure, but my daughter is selling Girl Scout cookies this year (her first year doing Girl Scouts), and I thought what the heck. digitalcookie.girlscouts.org/scout/sophie...

“surely people are exaggerating and the president didn’t shit himself in front the press in the oval office” folks the president shit himself in front of the press in the oval office

DUDE THIS GAME IS AWFUL.

BREAKING: The two federal immigration agents who fired on Minneapolis protester Alex Pretti are identified in government records as Border Patrol agent Jesus Ochoa and Customs and Border Protection officer Raymundo Gutierrez.

I think I hate Assassin's Creed: Valhalla even more than I hated Assassin's Creed 3, and that's... well played, Ubisoft, well fucking played.

Yes, you can divest from all companies that partner with ICE. #prosecuteICE #defundICE #abolishICE

Bonjour les haricots. Shall we cassoulet?

Have we romanticized the civil rights movement so much to think that the violence imposed on them was some great win? Yes, and that’s partly because there’s still not an understanding of the constant violence that occurred to spur the movement.

And from there it's just victim after victim after victim after victim. Astonishing number of victim interviews. Same MO every time. The scale of the abuse-- I don't even know what words to use to describe it.

Personally, I think that anyone who was sending friendly emails back and forth with Jeffrey Epstein or attending events with him post-2008 should be thrown into an active volcano.

Every trigger warning you could imagine, but if you can stomach it, you will be left with the kind of murderous rage that demands breaking something, immediately (I leave things in my office for this purpose), followed by the need to see our society reformed from ashes on fresh foundations.

Making a cassoulet tomorrow. Beans are soaking. Got a lot of feelings about it, but profoundly grateful my mom got me a kit this year, even though that was my dad's annual present to me for my birthday. I've loved it since the first time I had the canned stuff in France, let alone the beautiful

Hi friends, anyone have access to this article and is willing to send me a PDF? www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

If you don't want judges to treat you like Nazi scum, stop acting like Nazi scum.

Judge Biery signed the order with a photo of Liam and two bible verses: The first is "But Jesus said, Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven." The second is simply "Jesus wept." Astonishing thing for a judge to do.

Saving this for the next time a non-medievalist colleague (always male) tells me proudly that they're doing Federici in a theory course

Boston friends, looking forward to seeing y'all soon.

I know it's fun short hand for tweets, but no, QAnon was not correct about something, because the point was partisan massacres of Democrats and perceived liberal cultural icons, everything else was framework.

So QAnon spent years spreading conspiracy theories that the government was run by a cabal of elite pedophiles and it turns out they supported the actual cabal of elite pedophiles to get into power and destroy democracy.

Well, it's rough, but I have the first 500 words of this book chapter, intro material, and it's rough but I think does what it needs to: video games portray the Iroquois, not the Haudenosaunee. They showcase a nineteenth century fantasy of a Native polity and people, not the reality, never that.

Hello #skystorians. Possibly a silly question, but is there an easy way to find out if our books are being used to teach? And if so, what is it?! OR if any of you are using my book in your teaching, could you please let me know? Thank you so much! #18thC #ECR #publishing #teaching #research 🗃️
