My nephew Matthew shared this letter with me yesterday. Five years ago, he wrote to all the living presidents and asked for advice on how to participate in public service. Only Jimmy Carter responded. A precis on how to live a life of service.

I wanted to get a video of this ghost crab but every time I got close to their hole they scuttled back in, so I tried getting clever with it. I made a little sandcastle and shoved my phone into it, hit record, and walked away. Crab was VERY suspicious of this addition to their environment.

As we begin the 1st few weeks of classes, a reminder that FSSP hosts a large collection of classroom-ready documents related to slavery & its destruction. These first-hand testimonies of enslaved people, Black soldiers, & officials give life to lessons on slavery & the contested arc of emancipation.

Andrea Pitzer literally wrote the book on concentration camps. I talked to her about how they came to America.

I was a teenager in the 80s, not the 90s, but this book resonated so much with me
I was updating another @stanchion.bsky.social title on StoryGraph and noticed that TLAT has its first review! Please, if you read the book and liked it, consider sharing your thoughts with the reading community!

Note how the subhead presupposes that you can “own” a human being. Maybe try “enslaver”? If you want to be polite and all.

The Trump Administration Accidentally Texted Me Its War Plans
U.S. national-security leaders included me in a group chat about upcoming military strikes in Yemen. I didn’t think it could be real. Then the bombs started falling.
