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.

Why do historians buy so many books? Is there an "end" to Canadian history? What does it mean to "do history" and why are edited collections an important part of that? What my first book haul video and find out!

Every time I don't start yelling at Americans in Mark Carney's @ with no idea what a fucking prime minister is, a dog gets their forever home. Y'all, I'm being VERY GOOD tonight.

Oh, we have this in academia too. I've bonded with people in whispers about "so & so who did X".

Dogs are walked and fed and watered. A nice older woman told me how great it is to see me walking them every day because they're such happy dogs, and we saw a bunch of chickadees. I'm going back to bed to be sad.

Anyway I'm too sad to get out of bed this morning. But the dogs need a walk.

This article is very well done.

"It seemed to me a bit odd to have a news story about a relatively small petition,” says Bray. “when the story came out... I received another death threat and another threatening email that had my full address in it..."

I know this is the risk of being a woman with a sparkling personality and vast tracks of land but I'm not posting about hot singles in my area, I just like my glasses and think I'm cute.

If you block someone because they're being creepy on your selfies and "someone" with an identical profile pic only following women and posting nothing follows you the next day, is that a tos violation? @support.bsky.team @safety.bsky.app

As an instructor, I'd rather see your fever dream, No Doze-fueled 4AM essays written at an IHOP rather than anything generated by an LLM.

Hope this helps

I wrote a 15 page report on heraldic symbolism in medieval armor and weapon design for my art history class the night before it was due (8am class). Made up 90% of it (only found one book for reference) and got an A. GenAI could fucking never.
wrote 20 pages on Faulkner's The Bear four hours before final papers were due on trucker pills and coffee and cigarettes and got an A, fuck you.
You people couldn't hang with real slackers.

This thread culminates in a really interesting article about wild horses and the environment and Indigenous people's connection to the land and several other interesting issues.

This was a story I knew straight off would be difficult to write. Emotions run high in discussions about wild horses, and it's no different with those roaming California's Eastern Sierra.

It's not hard to understand why. The horses are captivating, with their quiet strength and ethereal beauty.

That's the one. But the weird off way that Americans say "Saskatchewan." I can't even explain it but they do it wrong.

Chris, I spent my afternoon teaching about 19th century industrialization and how it changed the lives of widows & orphans, I can't handle this. Surely it's actually AI and they are playing a trick on us and any day now I'll wake up from this nightmare.

But what if I did need a loom? For my mental health? :D? :D?

:(

Will someone please tell me not to buy a "wooden 8 shaft Woolhouse Airloom table loom (made in Armstrong)" since I cannot afford it and do not have a place to put it and also do not have time for another craft? There will be more looms. looooooom. :(
