I have good news (which I am glad to celebrate in these trying times)! I have accepted a job as Public History Professor at @radfordu.bsky.social starting this fall. This is a dream job for me, so enjoy this extremely well shot selfie to mark the occasion!

Historians who work with oral history etc know this effect. It increases significantly around traumatic events, & over multiple retellings, which is one reason testimony around eg the JFK assassination is contradictory. Memory isn’t a record of events; it’s your brain forming a narrative for you.
This is, incidentally, exactly why you should be very sceptical of most war memoirs that weren’t written shortly after the war in question (and even then memory can prove surprisingly malleable even unconsciously)
All my mates know the harrowing story of how I nearly drowned as a kid and had to be rescued by helicopter. The story came up at a birthday meal and my mum said that never happened. After a lot of arguing and Googling we've figured out I fell asleep watching a 999 TV reenactment

Wizard feminism.
For JK Rowling "sex-based rights" are not the right to be paid the same as men, to live without sexual violence or coercion, to share the burden of unpaid labour, to escape the motherhood penalty or have domestic abuse taken seriously.
They are about the exclusion of trans women. Mind-blowing.

Secularism isn’t what’s driving people away from Christianity.
What’s driving people away from Christianity are those who claim to follow Jesus, but completely ignore his teachings and use his name instead to amass wealth and political power.

Speaking as an author who has now had a recent article I wrote promoted not once not twice but THREE times by people who used AI to summarize it, & which summaries were all DEAD WRONG (not just wrong but wrong in a way that makes me sound basic & banal AF): I am infuriated by what we are doing.
