All of us deserve to have a place in our country’s history without fear of erasure. These are the books on my shelf that I go to for the history of trans Americans. What else would you add, historians?
They were here, they are here, they will be here.
They were here, they are here, they will be here.

Always a great day when I get to hang out with the best Seths—Seth Cotlar and Seth Rockman—historians extraordinaire, particularly at Powell’s, particularly during an extended celebration of Seth Rockman’s fantastic new book, Plantation Goods. Worth a read!

What I hate about ChatGPT is how suspicious it has made me. Not-so-polished writing tends to make me think it was written by a human (🤪) or pieces that hew close to the readings/sources we used (🎉). Otherwise it seems impossible to know anything for sure.

What ChatGPT has done to me (besides making me grumble when I spot its use by students) is made me love human errors so much more. This wobbly line brought me joy when I was walking past because it was so clearly the work of a human with an elbow that jerked at the wrong moment.

I may not be at #aha24 this week but I’m glad that the Morris sisters are. Many thanks to Chris Wells for spotting Mischievous Creatures in the wild! 📗#envhum
