I tell academics I teach a 6/6, to their horror. They are less horrified when they find out it’s high school students. The irony is that teaching high school classes is significantly more challenging. I need to finish my dissertation

That a for-profit “community” was created by a historian and is promoted by historians is shameful. It’s hard to have faith in the discipline when we allow this

When I had to read it for my Historiography seminar in grad school, Joan Scott’s Gender and the Politics of History shaped my whole intellectual trajectory. I’m glad she is calling out Scholasticide, unlike the AHA itself

Before long, we won't be able to even mention the most horrific crime of our times, let alone try to stop it.

Haaretz, an Israeli newspaper, reports that IDF soldiers and officers told the newspaper that they were "ordered to fire at unarmed crowds near food distribution sites in Gaza, even when no threat was present."

Nathan Kalman-Lamb @nkalamb.bsky.social · Jun 27

IDF soldiers have now themselves admitted they have been ordered to murder aid-seekers in Gaza.

Truly an atrocity built on atrocity.
