I'm a high school history teacher in Ketchikan, Alaska, currently writing a book on the 19th-century history of the Lingít (Tlingit) nation. I'd like to follow historians, especially ones focused on subaltern, colonial, and Indigenous histories.
Honestly, this is exactly something Don Young (R-AK) would have done.
And he was never voted out of office.

Rep. Nancy Mace (R-NC) was politely asked "When's your next town hall meeting?"
She said "Fuck you" and bragged that she would never be voted out of office.
Maybe reposting her video will help.

It's still surreal to me that I come to Bluesky and it just looks like Twitter from 2015.
Don't get me wrong—it's great. But it is surreal.

I watched this video again to remind myself about the Alawites, and I have to say—I will not be surprised at all if we start hearing about Alawites being persecuted in Syria. youtu.be/ZXA6DpInIRc?...
Who are the Alawites?

It's shocking to me that Assad is out, seemingly out of nowhere, after he was able to hold onto power for so long. Can anyone recommend a good article or video explaining what exactly happened in the last few weeks?

I'm not mad most of the Romance languages change patterns in the middle of numbers 11-19. I'm mad they somehow couldn't agree on the same place to change patterns, so now I will forever question myself when trying to say "16" in any of them.
(Mulțumesc Romanian for being consistent on this one.)

I took a year sabbatical and made a ton of progress on my manuscript, then returned to teaching and fell into a big slump. I finally went back to look at my writing hours I had logged but never totalled up:
On sabbatical (June '22-Aug. '23)—824 hours
After sabbatical (Sept. '23-Present)—188 hours

I like building playlists for the languages I'm working on, and right now that's German. Does anyone have good artist recommendations? I like a decently wide variety of music—current favorites include Adel Tawil, Bushido, Chakuza, Juli, Mark Forster, Tim Bendzko, and Xavier Naidoo.

It’s truly stunning how often history books place higher value and attention on the imaginations of Europeans than on the actual realities of non-Europeans.

In 1965, leaders in Ketchikan, Alaska named our main middle school after a conman. It's well past time to change the name, and Kichx̱áan Héeni Middle School is the best name to reconnect us with our roots and honor our geography, history, and heritage.

I can't say I'm too surprised, but Threads has essentially become the social media embodiment of toxic positivity. So that's why I'm here!
