I've been talking about the dotted line from slave patrol to contemporary American policing for the past 10+ years. Will this book scratch that itch? 🤔 #historygeek

Judge Otto St. Nicium is presently a concept for a "friend". He is an expert on the US Constitution and judicial system. He has only made one appearance at a school, but it was just for show - no story. Eventually there will be more development.

Pioneer Pete was created during the pandemic as a storyteller about Westward Expansion. He had a humble beginning, but has quickly become a student favorite with the "yarns" that he spins, over-the-top personality, "golden spike", and mustache giveaways.

Major Sideburns began as an idea about two years before the pandemic and brought to life just before it began. During the first year of the pandemic he made appearances on video and in person. #historygeek #storytelling #historylives

Phew, I did my first ever guided tour on our archives on friday and now when it's sunday I can say I'm pretty much recovered 😂 Students are a lot easier group to lead than a group of mostly pensioners!

George (just George) has been the poster friend of mine for several years now. He has traveled with me to the SCCSS and NCSS Annual Conferences in 2024.

When we began to have "Pirate Day" to teach about the economic & political impacts they had on Colonial Carolina, I thought it would be fun to be Blackbeard. Eventually I decided that I would create a fictional "friend" named Madbeard.

Determining which one of my "friends" came second is a bit difficult for me. The second and third ones came around the same time. I am going to say that Madbeard (Aarrgh!) was it. He is the most feared pirate to sail the seas.

The first "friend" I created was Mr. Smith. There are two versions of the same character: Boom and Bust. He was created before I knew there would be more "friends" ... before I even had a name for him ... before I had any idea this would be a thing for me.

About last night ... I had the honor to listen to *the* Black Jewish Afroculinarian himself, live and in-person, Michael Twitty @koshersoul.bsky.social. 🥰 He discussed his new book, Recipies From the American South, which was released on the 15th. My copy is now signed! 🫶🏽 #fangirl #historygeek #cook

In better news, we now know a tiny bit more about the eighth century CE in Gifu after finding a bronze weight that could have been a pattern for clay weights that might have served a possible Government office in Manakoshi. That lifts my heart. #historygeek #smallthings

Tee hee, finally managed to put together the pieces for earrings I bought months ago. Some archaeology geekiness for everyday use - or, as someone put it, for those smaller battles!

Two weeks ago Pioneer Pete visited students to share his experiences during the era of Westward Expansion - the Alamo, Oregon Trail, Gold Rush, Pony Express, and Transcontinental Railroad.
