Reader, for my first #AHAReads task I intended to read one chapter from this @zelizer.bsky.social volume. I ended up reading 10 and am still going. Highly recommended.
For the next task: Babel by @rfkuang.bsky.social. Several @historians.org staff are planning to read this together.

It's time for #AHAReads, brainchild of @lmansley.bsky.social and launched by AHA staff a few years ago b/c we like to read and wanted a fun thing to do together over the summer.
I'm reading an essay from @zelizer.bsky.social's edited volume The Presidency of Donald J. Trump for my first task.
