Disability-based historian. I defended my dissertation and now I'm not sure what to do with myself. I guess publish it. Ask me about my dogs.

I'm sitting here imagining my lecture on fan culture in the 1920s and it's great. I hit every point in my mind.

Y'all, this goes on forever and is several variations of "how can we make AI great?! Because that's what we're going to do."

Canadians: The federal government is seeking public input on how AI should be developed and used in business, research, and the military.

If this scares the shit out of you, please let them know:

Just a reminder that if you leave odd things in your coat pockets you can have the joy of finding pieces of chalk years after you last had a chalkboard.

I miss chalkboards.

Teaching Reading is also about bringing kids to understand there is a value in being able to read. It’s about realising that funny stories, crazy poems and journeys of imagination and fantasy are contained in books. If all they experience is the chore of chanting at letters, that value is not there

Am I mis-remembering but didn't the democrats specifically choose not to end the filibuster?

Our Fake History is about historical misconceptions. Disappearing Spoon and This Podcast Will Kill You are both science &medicine

Dr. Joanna and her Evil Hellhounds @jlphistory.bsky.social · 9h

Do you want ones that are deep dives into a particular area like The History of Australia? Or more flittery like Footnoting History? A good one is History of the English Language but I think it's more soothing than entertaining.
Shedunit is golden age detective fiction in historical context.

My entire relationship with the assistant manage of my building is to text him about dead animals that have upset me. I will spare the details but what a sad thing to have happen multiple times in a month.
