happy to run into you, Liz!

OAH is rarely the place for #amrel but we were there and had a good time with a great audience 🪡

Thanks to everyone who has already stopped by the @uncpress.bsky.social booth at #OAH26. We’re looking forward to seeing more people and having more conversations today!

It’s summer in Philly and I stopped at Head House Books before I even checked in to my hotel.

my linens are already wrinkled

Thrilled to see it! Congrats, Dylan!

Art is powerful

Benito is a threat b/c he makes art so alluring and enjoyable you want to understand everything about it and then you end up learning about sugar and slavery and colonialism and the Taínos and Hawaii and then you probably have some thoughts of your own, and that's why art is powerful and dangerous

me, screaming to the radio in my kitchen this morning, did we all forget STOP THE CHURCH

Saving this thread for day 2 of Upstate History where I make them fill in a map 🤣

Hearing My Own Scream For months, Rümeysa Öztürk has been haunted by the cries of ICE detention — those of scared children, grieving mothers, barking guards — and her own.

Rümeysa Öztürk, in her own words.

"Our scream is individual and collective, and it is a response to the loss of autonomy, to the violation of consent, to being treated as an object by unfamiliar hands."

www.thecut.com/article/rume...

Each city has developed different tactics to fight ICE but we are also learning from each other. They will lose in Minneapolis and they will try to take another city, but they will be starting from behind because we will have learned from our northern siblings and gotten stronger in the meantime.

Oh and don’t ask me how, when, and where I managed to get that talk written 😂
