From “Why Fish Don’t Exist”, a biography of David Starr Jordan:
![David had begun to tuck these ideas into his lectures at Indiana University, informing students that traits like "pauperism" and "degener[acy]" were heritable and thus could be "exterminated just as swamps are drained."

From “Why Fish Don’t Exist”, a biography of David Starr Jordan:

And yes, that's my leg and my staircase. It's from a charity calendar I did back in my 60s. When it showed up as my profile picture on Facebook, people knew not to bother me.

Looking for my lost peeps from the Other Site and elsewhere. I am a dress historian, known mostly for my work on clothing and gender. Pink and blue (see my book), unisex clothing (see my book), yada yada. Retired but still at it on Substack. #fashionhistory #genderexpression #culturalhistory
