How every state in the US teaches about feudalism. A New post from me and @profgabriele.com, along with access to a slideshow and spreadsheet with more info.

24 states REQUIRE feudalism.
8 suggest feudalism.

i go birding with my mom as often as our schedules allow (once every couple of months, usually) and inevitably she whips out the good camera and gets these really delightful candids of me doing my fave things. here, looking up (birds in the sky!) and looking down (tiny lifeforms in the water!)

me standing on the edge of a riverbank overlook with an old stone bridge in the background, looking through binoculars into the distance

me standing in a dried up riverbed looking down into a small pool of standing water next to a stone wall

People never believe this fresco is real, but it is!

Top funny thing from @adapalmer.bsky.social ‘s INVENTING THE RENAISSANCE: “Filippino Lippi’s Saint Thomas Aquinas Interrupts the Annunciation to Introduce the Virgin Mary to Cardinal Carafa who paid for the painting, while patient Archangel Gabriel just has to wait.”

spent sundown at the lighthouse

red and white lighthouse overlooking calm lake waters with the moon rising in the background

the moon peaking between trees growing on a rocky surface in front of gentle waves with reflected moonlight and a canada goose

lighthouse from further away and in the dark. the moonlight on the water almost backlights it. the moon shines above

win 2: student who is "not really a reader" but has been "trying to get into it" informed me that our intro to lit class has become her fave class, & that she puts it at the top of her to-do list every week because she's excited to do the readings and think of things to discuss

ant ⚰️ @morifinwe.bsky.social · 29d

win 1: student who "normally HATES writing" asked if it would be okay to go over the page limit (4) because he's having so much fun writing abt the topic he chose for his analysis (an alice in chains song)
