Short introduction. I am a historian of Tx and dabble in horror history. I’m currently a Gen-X 1st year law student. I participant with #HATM (Historians at the Movies) on Sunday nights here on BlueSky, so you’ll see that hashtag a lot on my feed. Looking forward to connecting with others. 🗃️

When I got home from testing this morning I fell asleep on the couch. When I woke up, this was my view. She’s just adorable. 🥰

You had me at “authority issues.” Y’all donate if you can. 😃 #HATM
UPDATE: if we reach $350 he gets to color bomb the Principal. I don’t know what this means but for those of you with authority issues, here’s your chance.
My kid attends a school that specializes in part in helping #autistic kids like Benjamin. But as you can imagine schools are having a hard time raising money this year. There’s a whole bunch of followers here so if ya wanna throw in $5, it would do some good.

I take the MPRE tomorrow. That’s the “ethics” portion of the bar exam. I think. Anywhoos, at my age you’d think testing anxiety would be a thing of the past. Well, that’s not the case. Here we gooooo . . .

Here's my latest story which includes a history of the Erie Playhouse in #EriePA. "For a town that they say is beer and bowling … the Playhouse is doing real well," executive director David Matthews said in 1983. #theatersky #history #skystorians

In the Hays Code lecture of “Forgotten America” with The Great Courses & Audible, I got to cover how each of the 3 film adaptations of the novel “The Maltese Falcon” were affected by different versions of the Motion Picture Production Code. Check out lecture 2!

This is not a surprise to anyone who was closely following this case. It *ought* to be, however, a moment to reflect upon the responsibility (or not) of media outlets that, deliberately or not, led folks to believe that a grant was a serious possibility (which it never was).

Learn more ancient history this weekend. It will put the present issues in perspective.

Headed to the Southern? @drkarenlcox.bsky.social sat down with me for a very real and very raw conversation about her life, the challenges that made her, and where we need to go as historians. This is about as unfiltered as it gets. Like and share if you dig it.

Thank you @herberthistory.bsky.social for hosting us tonight. I really got caught up in the movie. Great choice! Have a wonderful week everyone! See y’all next Sunday! #HATM

7:15 and #HATM is already number 2.

We have things to say, y’all!
November 3, 2025 at 1:16 AM
1. @alexwinter.com (I can’t tag Corey Feldman, or Jamison Newlander but they’re on Instagram!)

2. Of course The Lost Boys (it needs to stream on one of the #HATM platforms - until then - we wait)

3. Fajitas!
And that brings us to tonight's #HATM questions:
1) What guests would you like to see on Reckoning with Jason Herbert? Tag them here!
2) What films do you want to see on #HATM?
3) And finally, what's on the menu at your home tonight?

I keep seeing all these folks complain about SNAPand benefits for the needy and I’m shaking my damn head.

Folks, our capacity for love and compassion cannot be dictated someone else’s ability to love us back. That’s it. That’s all I got.
