@chanda.blacksky.app I am reading your new book at a good time. I’ve been out in the wilds for the last few years, trying to trace my broken family heritage and looking for new divinity free of patriarchy and dogma. And I have always loved quantum physics for its spark of ever. Brilliant work.

I bet the troll who just attacked me for this piece of writing would have absolutely loved it if I'd highlighted their comment. Instead I just used the block button to make them instantly vanish, like some magic eraser which instantly eradicates a piece of blood-flecked vomit on a toilet floor.

good morning to sociologists from this historian.
I do want to shout-out my fellow sociologists, who have collectively created a discipline so woke that not a single one of our introductory textbooks can make it past Florida's censors.
Great work everyone.
Great work everyone.

Mendel 🐈⬛ the stray/feral update: We worried in early Jan because he didn’t turn up on camera while we traveled. Yet he came back when we returned. Been in his heated house through the Arctic blast, and I deliver wet food mixed with water so he stays hydrated. He will let me get within 4 feet.

For fuck's sake this is not "how men behave" it's how abusers behave. To whatever extent it's how too many men behave, it's because those men are abusers.
And people who cater to abusers ... are also abusers. David Gelernter should never be allowed near students again.

It’s not ironic. It’s in keeping with American history.
