On this day in 1967, the Detroit Rebellion ended. During the conflict, at least 43 people, 33 of whom were Black, had been killed—most at the hands of law enforcement.

For being a Thursday, it feels an awful lot like a Monday. And it’s not even 1:30. Like whyyyy 😫🤯

Hey everyone!! There are some new followers here that I didn’t have on the bird place - but omg I’m flattered bc many of you I followed there & it’s like meeting celebrities in the History World. But yeah, I’m an American history grad student (which doesn’t feel great right now)…

Alright, I deactivated my bird account. So if any history pals from there want to be friends here. Hi.

Welp.

I just found Historians at the Movies #HATM and this looks like so much fun.

Oh I will be joining for sure! I’ve been super busy lately between school & work & the kiddos starting school, but I’m going to really try to manage my time this week to join in. I absolutely love this movie! #HATM

Hi, new friends & old friends. If any of you are metalcore fans like I am - Erra put out a few new songs & they're 🤌🏼 Cure is currently on repeat because it’s scratching the brain just right.

Me right now with how that Chicago/MLA meme is doing on here & I don’t want anyone to be mean to me 😂🙈

Give me footnotes or give me death.

The best thing about having cats is the cardboard boxes you set out for a few days instead of recycling them. “Oh that? Yeah, that’s the kitten’s K-cup box. She loves running full speed, diving head first into it, & sliding across the kitchen floor.”

Alexa, play “A Beautiful Mine” by RJD2 while I drink out of my new mug & look at my new sticker.

Today’s trip to the bookstore resulted in books for me + books for the triplets

I didn’t even realize the icon for bluesky changed to a butterfly lol

My favorite meme.

Tonight, we must hold our loved ones close. That way we can airdrop the various memes

Not to brag or anything but I got a peppermint bark latte & baklava today from my local coffee shop.

On the outside I skrt skrt But on the inside I hurt hurt

My favorite thing about Thanksgiving is my 7 yo daughter asking me (34 yo), “Mommy, were you in WWI or WWII?”

I LOVE JACQUES COUSTEAU!! Happy Thanksgiving, Friends🤪 Hope your turkey isn’t dry!

For all my sweet (read: young) followers who don't get the WKRP Turkey thing. Here ya go! 🤣🤣

The way I feel this.

Can anyone recommend a good book about the Battle of Belleau Wood?

My absolute most favorite spot in all of Columbus. Shopping for books & getting a coffee?! Day well spent.

When Christmas gifts get delivered to your house in their original packaging - so not in a brown box & your 7 year old children are home when it happens 😃😃😃😃😃😃

#OTD 1923, a century ago, the crusading dry governor of Pennsylvania, Gifford Pinchot, said he didn't even know when state police & federal Prohibition officers would raid Pittsburgh to padlock illegal saloons. He was dedicated to Prohibition.

How I spent my morning. Making apple pie pastries. 🍎🥮

“Our debt to the heroic men and valiant women in the service of our country can never be repaid. They have earned our undying gratitude.” - Harry S. Truman Happy Veterans Day ♥️ I’m a little biased but I have a favorite veteran. The 11 years he served feels like an entirely different life.

My civic duty is done. Now the anxiety sets in.

Me: I don’t need more mugs. Also me: Okay but I NEED this one from The Great War Group. Great mail day.
