I am writing this because it has swiftly become crystal clear to me that many people have no idea what is happening or how this works. Here is a thread for non-academics to put into context what just happened to Dr. Mark Bray, a fellow historian.

Sandie Holguín @buleriasfan.bsky.social · 1d

Thanks for both of your suggestions.

Sandie Holguín @buleriasfan.bsky.social · 1d

Yes, I'm definitely using that one. See my response to Dr. Joanna and her Evil Hellhounds.

Sandie Holguín @buleriasfan.bsky.social · 1d

I'll check those out. Thanks!

You're Dead to Me (historian interlocutor and a historian paired with a comedian); History Chicks (Women's history/biographies. Not historians, but they provide their sources); This Guy Sucked (not all historians, but all are scholars. Provides an anti-Great-Men-of-History perspective).

🗃️Help, fellow historians! I'm creating a new unit on historical podcasts for my undergrad methods course. I'd like recs for historical podcasts in Eng. that are both scholarly & entertaining. I'd esp. like to know about ones dealing with non-European and non-US history, but all suggestions welcome.

Realizing that part of the reason universities’ uncritical pushing AI into everything bothers me is that it is partly related to how little our institutions care about the humanities. Tech that might work in (some) fields does not need to be force fed to all of us. But who listens to us?

But I agree with your first statement

His beef with Walters occurred earlier when Walters did this: The Oklahoma State Department of Education passed rules requiring parents to give documentation on their and their child's citizenship status when enrolling in school. www.koco.com/article/kevi...

Timeline: What led to the fallout between Gov. Kevin Stitt and Ryan Walters

Drama and tension unfolded between Gov. Kevin Stitt and State Superintendent Ryan Walters this week at the state Capitol after the governor replaced three members of the Oklahoma Board of Education.

I agree wholeheartedly with you. Actually, might be the second time: he did begin to question Walters.
