Currently debating whether we get a t-shirt (as per usual) if we don’t finish

Yes, I’ve been reassuring everyone that not finishing would be the most Shandean thing we could do

(to be very clear, this ain't my first TS rodeo)

My long-book book club is on the verge of breaking down over our inability to finish Tristram Shandy

Flyer for a talk on April 21 at 3:30 p.m. at UCSB by Rhae Lynn Barnes titled "The Peace Pipe and the Sun King: A 17th-Century Culture Clash on the Mississippi"

Excited to welcome Rhae Lynn Barnes @popcultureamerica.bsky.social to UCSB this Tuesday, the first talk in the Early Modern Center Spring Speaker Series

No. I don’t want to tell you about my stay, my meal, my visit, my purchase. The way I told you about it was by exchanging money for the thing. That was the end of our relationship!

Can’t remember them all but Paula Bertucci referenced him in her Clifford lecture right after your talk.

And not guilty at all! To be clear I rely extensively on Koselleck in my new book.

Maybe I was just in the right places at the right times, but I heard four references to Reinhart Koselleck at #asecs26. Is Koselleck having a moment?

This is going to be 🔥

Wait, this is the non-gremlin version of you?

Absolutely thrilled to report that the Board of Governors at @uncpress.bsky.social have approved my book

THE RACIALIZATION OF PRINT

for publication by @oieahc.bsky.social.

Forthcoming, early 2027.

The whole reason we started watching the show was because of this coincidence

My boyfriend whose actual government name is Scott Hunter just ran into Scott Hunter (captain of the New York Admirals) at a coffee shop in LA. Sadly they were both getting coffee not smoothies.

The Line of Development: Conjectural History and the Indigenous Critique Rachael King (bio) This essay explores the significance of Graeber and Wengrow's discussion of the "Indigenous critique" in The Dawn of Everything to Enlightenment historical accounts of stadial theory. Stadial theory emphasized land management as the basis for social progress in order to demote Indigenous societies in the civilizational scale. I demonstrate how stadial history worked to impose a uniform, linear model of development onto human history, thus casting Indigenous societies into the past as stuck in an "earlier" stage. Understanding stadial theory as a response to Graeber and Wengrow's "Indigenous critique" clarifies the long-lasting significance of this model of history to Western understandings of social development.

Excited to have a short essay in a cluster in SECC on Graeber and Wengrow's The Dawn of Everything and 18th-century studies (also my first time publishing as Rachael King instead of Rachael Scarborough King) doi-org.proxy.library.ucsb.edu/10.1353/sec....

Thank you for writing this book

“Maybe changing the world is more like caregiving than it is like war” 🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍

This is what I’m going to tell myself

that's advanced!

That makes me feel better!

Oh, no way

Somehow that seems better?

Nothing makes me feel like a worse feminist than the number of women I have saved in my phone as "[NAME], [KID'S NAME]'s Mom"
