Trying to gauge interest- What’s it like in the world of nonfiction #mysteryandmacrabre ? Is it too saturated for me to join in with mysterious history from #appalachia?
I’ve come to the decision that , at this time, I will not be pursuing my MA. It costs too much and because student loan payments will no longer be income based, I can’t put my family’s wellbeing at risk by getting more loans for jobs that don’t pay well.

Libraries are great for the books, sure, but it's also nice to have a quiet and safe space to sit and think- a place where no one is trying to sell you anything.

It’s important to know that a lot of productive activity is happening in person and offline, too.

Not all of it can be broadcast online, but we’ve had hundreds of people showing up to our trainings, mobilizations, and more.

Keep going. Tyranny is eroded by a sea of small acts. Everything matters.

What’s the difference between a gov controlling an algorithm, silently eliminating reach for things it doesn’t like, vs the same gov using its power, to demand that the platform remove the things it doesn’t like.?

In China they are overt. With TikTok in the US, they control silently

I have created 'The History Sit-Down' series on my website, where when I cross paths with historians I ask them for 15 minutes of their time for some quick thoughts.

The feedback has been good, so I shall continue to do so. You can access them on my site under 'The History Sit-Down' tab.

I keep trying to write something eloquent and just being tired.
History matters. Philosophy matters. Languages and literature matter. Indigenous studies matter. Arts and humanities and social sciences matter. All of them.

what if your ideas are as in love with you as you are with them?

what if your creativity spends its days dreaming about you too?

what if art is a co-creation between you (the vessel) & the eternal source of all things?

what if this act of making is the universe experiencing itself through you?

First post on this thing feels as strange as my first Twitter post. Awkward. Yet hopeful.

2025 Goals
Imma need some of you to think about thriving out of spite. I had big plans for 2025 and I’m definitely not gonna pre-derail them for likes of Elin and Tromp. I’m getting more involved. Loving harder. Writing hornier. Having more fun. I’m gonna be so kind to my neighbors, bitch.

Now, more than ever, your favourite authors, historians, podcasters, vloggers, speakers, need you 🫵🏾.

Social media reach has been destroyed in the last year, and many from all fields have seen their visibility all but disappear. This has real life consequences.

Read. Review. Recommend. Repost.

Fairytales! When I was a kid I wanted to find out about real royalty and when that turned out to be nightmare fuel, it was the The Mummy with Brendan Frasier that brought me back😂
Dear fellow historians: I recently asked my undergraduate students what sparked their interest in studying history. Two of them mentioned the film Titanic! Now I'm curious (and will let them know): What sparked your interest in studying #history?
