My original degree was Foreign language International Trade. Changed that b/c I couldn't do the bus calculus class.

Now for my M.S. in Linguistics:

I'm looking for any historians specialized in #Illinois or #NativeAmericans ... particularly in Southern Illinois.

I'm always casually fascinated by how different news organizations prioritize the news.
Fox News think the biggest deal in the world is the "X outage". CNN is all, "Republicans make deal, oh... and Twitter outage"
AP is like, "Y'ALL GONNA BE TAXED ON ELECTRICITY" with a tag at the top "x outage"

The word "Bulldozer" has a surprise etymology
Oof
Oof
![By the late 1870s, "to bulldoze" and "bulldozing" were being used throughout the United States to describe intimidation "by violent and unlawful means",[13] which sometimes meant a severe whipping or coercion, or other intimidation, such as at gunpoint.[14] It had a particular meaning in the Southern United States as a whipping or other punishment for African Americans to suppress black voter turnout in the 1876 United States presidential election.[15][16][17]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:s7anbtged46bsqpfmtny7l63/bafkreihpqy2srl7esxzznumin55aqjyzhyoddkm6vjgasoptgvpd3rchaa@jpeg)
