Helen!!!! Great to “see” you and this looks fantastic—thanks!
Am thinking about historians who write about ways folks in the past have imagined the future. Published or work in progress — is that a thing out there?
It's always exciting to see the winners of the @umasspress.bsky.social and UMass MFA for Poets and Writers announced. Where to start? Torn between Kirsten Kaschock's An Impossibility of Crows and Jason Bredle's Jason Bredle's I Love You But I Don’t Speak Your Language #booksky

Hey, for any particular thing you're furious about, one good way to channel that energy until April 1 is to do some phone banking to help Judge Susan Crawford beat the Trump henchman that Elon Musk has spent about $18 million to put on the WI Supreme Court

🚨 Everyone needs to call their Dem Senator right now. They are starting to cave.

Tell them:
1. Vote NO on Cloture
AND
2. Vote NO on the Republican spending bill.

Don’t let them pivot to reconciliation. GOP doesn’t need Dem votes on that and they know it.

TODAY is the showdown.

So excited to see my issue of The Public Historian arrive, finally! Very excited about this scholarship on museums as landlords…..
Boosting this one last time (I’m not on the committee but helping spread the word)—priority deadline is March 8 for this #UMassAmherst position at the intersection of public history and histories of enslavement in the north. Please do share with colleagues!

The same party that shouted that Obama was a liar and booed Biden during their formal addresses to Congress is now worried about people disrespecting the president with crossed arms.
Mike Waltz on Zelenskyy: "Coming to the Oval Office with the body language, the shaking of head, the arms crossed -- we just found it incredibly disrespectful."
