Hey, nerds: What is this name? I really want it to be John Brown, with some kind of flourish at the end to indicate he was clerk of court. Is that a thing? How do you interpret the end of this name?

While our public discourse sucks, it’s important to remember the spaces where our discourse is still awesome! Here’s my grad seminar in early America. Really tried to get students to think about historiography and how scholars engage with each other over time.

I grew way more greens than any human can possibly consume, so I tried dehydrating some of them and made my own power green powder. This one is collards, broccoli leaves, and carrot tops. So satisfying.

Broke my foot exactly six weeks ago today. A freak accident, just a single misstep on a bad sidewalk. Four weeks on crutches, two weeks in a boot, and today I took a first few steps in a sturdy shoe. Doesn’t feel great honestly, but I don’t think I’ll feel normal for a while. At least it’s progress.
