The scratch-and-sniff "Marie Antoinette Style" posters literally littering London:

I want to wear this.

A little #BigBird fashion happening here.

Well, I guess this makes it official.

It was wonderful to be reunited with my Massillon Musuem family to accept the #AASLH award for excellence in leadership in history for Gilding Northeast Ohio: Fashion and Fortune 1870-1900. #GildingNEO was a team effort. Everyone who worked on this exhibition made a unique and important contribution

She’s a winner, baby. At #AASLH conference with the team from Massillon Museum to accept the Leadership in History Award for #GildingNEO.

Today’s archive pull: suede saddle shoes and trousers not worn since 2014 when last I fit into them. Anyone know how to clean untreated suede?

Pulled these shoes out of the archives. Pulled the pants off the hanger I placed them on back in 2017 because they never fit me. Sometimes you have to play the long game.

Congratulations to my dear friend and mentor @brenthartinger.bsky.social on the release of his new novel, Infinite Drift! I can’t wait to read it.

As of today I am officially an Assistant Professor.

Japan Post has ceased all mail delivery to the US for packages valued over $100. To get around this, a Japanese denim company tells me they'll ship components to US customers one-by-one — fabric, buttons, rivets, a sewing needle, and thread. You then assemble the jeans at home like IKEA furniture.

Birthday dinner for one.

Gonna add this to my office wall.

Montréal calling, Darling.

The people who are *still* making a massive deal about having to go to the doctor and get a shot think historians made too big a deal out of **slavery**

Summer florals.

The gays will come for you hard.

With the Trump admin soft-launching their attack on birthright citizenship as well as intimating they might prevent Chinese Americans from buying property, feels like a good time to re-up my podcast on the Chinese Exclusion era. &, oh yeah, my favorite American story. 🗃️ americanstudier.podbean.com

Obsessed with this Worth Fancy Dress Costume on display at the Wadsworth. Head over to my Insta for more detailed images!

It was a pleasure to join the The Frick Pittsburgh Museums and Gardens for this week’s episode of the Unofficial Gilded Age Aftershow.

My second trip to the @frickcollection.bsky.social was just as magical as the first. Here are some of my favorite treasures…

40 years on and it’s all still #lessthanzero.

What up, bro?

Hey.

Spending the 4th with real heroes will putting my #gaystache to good use.

Stunning 🤩

I would like to start a campaign to help me acquire this cape-coat from #Dior. I cannot live without this. This is my life.

Happy Pride!

Real Sergeant AND The Gilded Age Sargent could get it.

Kind of obsessed with these #thombrowne glasses. I don’t wear glasses for reading or seeing, but whatever it is these are doing for my face I feel like I could live a whole different life.

Does an anyone know where one goes to get image permissions for the Sears catalog? (1960s)

I am honored Gilding Northeast Ohio: Fashion and Fortune 1870-1900 has won a Leadership in History Award for the State of Ohio! The Massillon Museum and I worked tirelessly to ensure that the history of Northeast Ohio during the gilded age was fully respresented, inclusive of class, race, and gender

What’s your favorite object or memory or picture?

Some very #Superfine men.

Received my certificate for The Richard Martin Exhibition Award today from the CSA. I shared the honor with Massillon Museum Director, Alex Coon, who made Gilding Northeast Ohio possible! We did it!

We're all so fucked. Pray there's not another pandemic.

Hello, LA!

Levi's--founded in San Francisco in 1853--became the first Fortune 500 company to extend benefits to same-sex domestic partners in 1992. Long before that, 501s were the uniform of the Castro clones, the White Night protesters and the Gay Freedom Day Marching Band. www.thepinknews.com/2025/05/29/l...

The Journey Continues.

Headed to CSA!
