I hiked to the top of the cathedral last year. Amazing. Oh and this place had the best sandwich I've ever had in my life. maps.app.goo.gl/qR2VMs9R64de...
I was rather peeved when someone on my diss committee commented on typos. I'd edited and edited, I used spellcheckers and everything else. But no, I didn't hire a professional editor. Apparently other students must be doing so & they all now expect that? Bc otherwise, there will be typos.
I can't believe I'm posting this video - but we actually have to have a conversation about the real world implications of America going to war over Greenland.
Let me walk you through it. It doesn't turn out well for us.
The number #1 news headline in the US should be the protests in Iran
1) SoCal girl, so really can't count the number of fires near where I've grown up. Several go pretty close. I can tell there's a fire just from color of the air. If curious, see this interactive map of the SB County fires here projects.capradio.org/california-f...
2) Salmon, ravioli and green beans
Its Thanksgiving so I want to say thank you to the wonderful editors and peer reviewers who make excellent scholarship possible. Now that I'm a real PhD, I want to pay it forward by writing minimum 1 book review a year & peer-reviewing at least one article a year. So hit me up! #editing #Skystorians
Jaw dropped. Trump Administration Removes Report on Missing and Murdered Native Americans, Calling It DEI Content
This one's a bit old and good chance you already know of it, but I read it first in undergrad and found it very manageable and Martin and Lender's "A Respectable Army: The Military Origins of the Republic". It was short, clear, and ties army to abstractions the history majors will like
what class level - intro, intermediate, advanced?
A friend helps run a large food bank serving our state. Asked her how things look. For every 1 meal provided by a food bank, SNAP provides 9. They’re looking at a tenfold increase in need within days. There hasn’t been a threat of mass hunger in America like this in living memory. Help if you can 🍽️
Thanks I'll take a look!
#skystorians @shgape.bsky.social I need folks help. I'm teaching a 400 level courses on US history 1870s-1920 and trying to find a good synthetic book on the period to assign to accompany other readings. Any recs?
Most I've found seem a tad outdated
🚨The absence of media coverage of this natural disaster in Alaska, the lost/missing people, and the destruction of the aftermath is up to us to share. Please help if you can - even if it is just spreading awareness. There is no FEMA going to help them. 1/2
would this be the cycle to apply for Summer 2026 fellowships?
so it's not just me then
specifically, the proposed rule would exclude borrowers from loan forgiveness if the Secretary of Education determines “by a preponderance of the evidence” that their employers “engage in activities that have a substantial illegal purpose”
that seems...flexible!

THe Manhattan Historic Sites NPS had a digital archive of materials related to Grant's Tomb & other historic sites in Manhattan. I used it for my research. It was taken down back in March I think. No clue how it would have violated executive orders, since it was mostly scanned material without text
#HATM I love that she gets to off him so much
1)Still like Independence Day. Ridiculous but pithy
2)salmon, rice, green beans sauteed with garlic and tomato

Please help spread the word about our CFP? Id love to get a wide variety of posts for this series
Agreed! I need some accountability. Tried to get going after finally earning that PhD in spring. Only to injure my rib trying to move a desk during my office reno. SIGH #histgym
Fantastic resource for historians: a spreadsheet of NARA's digitized microfilm, with links to the files in the Archives catalog. May it help you as much as it has helped me.

I know of some institutions already requiring its use in curriculum, and staff being monitored to ensure that they're using it too
yeah, it was something. At the time, i had just graduated undergrad, going into grad school, but even I could tell that he was going to be in trouble.
At once conference, A reconstruction scholar, young, tried to claim that all previous scholarship using freedmen oral interviews could not be valid bc of the bias in the sources. Senior historians weren't amused & reminded him they were also aware & capable of accounting for biases in sources
