it feels like there’s too much history happening. why is history trying to ruin studying history rn

Happy September 4 everyone - a day otherwise known as the Death and Friends Season 6 premiere if you’re a patron. The rest of you will have to wait until October 2… or, you know, join the patreon. Happy True Crime History, skeleton army!

lately i’ve been thinking about jessica mitford a lot. she was a journalist that went up against the KKK. she exposed the greed in the american funeral industry. she was a member of the communist party during the US red scare. but the reason she’s been on my mind is bc of her family ⬇️

11/10 reply, this is the standard we are holding the rest of you to

YESSSSS IT'S HERE!! thank you!! @itsnashflynn.bsky.social @deathandfriends.bsky.social

Also I got so many stickers I'm gonna put them on every stop sign on campus!!!

wasn’t us, we sent the mummy (1998) fan fiction that nash wrote herself into

Which one of you sent us the entire script of the Bee Movie

if any of you wanted to let elon know what you worked on last week, the email is hr@opm.gov. don’t flood that email with anything else, though! that would be really hard for us to sort through

humanity has always been made of dreamers. just like dr adolf gutsmuth who demonstrated his safety coffin in 1822, complete with a soup tube. just a bunch of beautiful dreamers who dreamed they were gonna be buried alive and while they were waiting to be saved they might get a lil craving for soup

learning disenfranchised and marginalised history is a powerful form of resistance.

happy black history month, friends. let’s celebrate a little louder this year

🙏 🙏🙏

as a history podcast, we would love to see less history happening out there. let us breathe for a few mins

Absolute banger @deathandfriends.bsky.social ep: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/d...

this is both v cryptic and v true

Old stories are difficult to understand, so you have to read lots of them

What I find myself drawn to is the big political economy questions: How does capitalism work? Where does power lie? Under what institutions has it worked better and worse (and for whom), and how were those institutions put into place?

But now we’re in a phase shift. The recent past won’t be particularly useful for understanding the near future. I’m not sure “policy” is even particularly useful to think about in the face of bigger political shifts – democratic erosion, corrupt and reactionary courts, rising influence of oligarchs.

happy new year, lovers. quick, quote this post and explain your current research badly

we’ll start! a guy invents a new method of measuring people and uses it to catch a mysterious anarchist for some reason

i won’t fact check this but i am certain every winner of trivia games has listened to death and friends

On this lovely Monday eve, it feels like the perfect time to remind myself of the time I absolutely nailed Only Connect because — checks notes — I listen to @deathandfriends.bsky.social

i made them promise to get to work (i locked them in the studio with minimal food)

putting @itsnashflynn.bsky.social and @guerrillajokes.bsky.social on blast for this

I feel like I need a "Jesus Christ, Nash" mug

this is a very good idea, i will force our intern to add it to the shop.

and since it is your idea, you should have the first one! dm us with your address and santa will send it your way (if you want)

two men are looking at each other and one of them is saying absolutely i do Alt: two men are looking at each other and one of them is saying “absolutely i do”. it’s a clip from the office with jim and dwight

I'm cracking up 🤣🤣🤣🤣

i will never, ever tire of hearing you guys talk about death and friends, it’s my favourite thing

@guerrillajokes.bsky.social and i put so much work and energy into this little show and it’s always so awesome when you guys reach out to tell us you found it

Spotify decided not to tell me how much @deathandfriends.bsky.social I listened to this year. Probably for the best.
