it feels like there’s too much history happening. why is history trying to ruin studying history rn

Happy September 4 everyone - a day otherwise known as the Death and Friends Season 6 premiere if you’re a patron. The rest of you will have to wait until October 2… or, you know, join the patreon. Happy True Crime History, skeleton army!

lately i’ve been thinking about jessica mitford a lot. she was a journalist that went up against the KKK. she exposed the greed in the american funeral industry. she was a member of the communist party during the US red scare. but the reason she’s been on my mind is bc of her family ⬇️

wasn’t us, we sent the mummy (1998) fan fiction that nash wrote herself into
Which one of you sent us the entire script of the Bee Movie
if any of you wanted to let elon know what you worked on last week, the email is hr@opm.gov. don’t flood that email with anything else, though! that would be really hard for us to sort through

humanity has always been made of dreamers. just like dr adolf gutsmuth who demonstrated his safety coffin in 1822, complete with a soup tube. just a bunch of beautiful dreamers who dreamed they were gonna be buried alive and while they were waiting to be saved they might get a lil craving for soup

learning disenfranchised and marginalised history is a powerful form of resistance.

happy black history month, friends. let’s celebrate a little louder this year

as a history podcast, we would love to see less history happening out there. let us breathe for a few mins

What I find myself drawn to is the big political economy questions: How does capitalism work? Where does power lie? Under what institutions has it worked better and worse (and for whom), and how were those institutions put into place?

But now we’re in a phase shift. The recent past won’t be particularly useful for understanding the near future. I’m not sure “policy” is even particularly useful to think about in the face of bigger political shifts – democratic erosion, corrupt and reactionary courts, rising influence of oligarchs.

Spotify decided not to tell me how much @deathandfriends.bsky.social I listened to this year. Probably for the best.
