Also, glad you are pushing this point. I think the best thing we can do with intro level classes to non-majors is give them the ability to think about what they are presented. Memorization is not useful - at least it wasn't for me.

I really feel we messed up by calling things the X-year flood. Sometimes simplification makes things worse.

I'm so confused. If I actually like reading, and I'm not just looking at a book to "perform", do I need to somehow signal that? Why can't we just let people do their thing?

I think it’s not said often enough that chattel slavery was every possible human rights violation in one system
Every single possible human rights violation was visited on enslaved people

It’s actually utterly bizarre to respond to a Black woman who lives in Northern New England and does race justice organizing as if she does not understand Nazis. I’m willing to bet that the people giving her shit have had to fear for their lives from local Nazis way less frequently than she has.
