70 years later, same problem

Sometimes, man, a good game of pitching is all you need. Great work all around so far. #RedSox

"Now He Belongs to the Ages" Memory, Fragmentation, and the Afterlife of Abraham Lincoln

Today is the 161st anniversary of Abraham Lincoln's death. I spent some time this past week reflecting on him, and how his death can be used to help repair current fragmentation within our own society now. Please consider reading and sharing.

I’m so lucky to live in the same timeframe as Noah Kahan.

Ghost kitchens should be illegal.

I'm the daughter of an Army paratrooper who refused orders during our illegal invasion of Vietnam back in the day. He went to LBJ military jail.

Dad taught his girls this: "Just following orders" is NEVER any excuse for anyone who's complicit in war crimes. You MUST refuse heinous orders.

It is very easy to become accustomed to Trump’s ravings, and laugh them off. That’s a dangerous thing to do.

When Trump states: “A whole civilization will die tonight,” he is threatening to commit genocide.

We can’t allow that to happen. Congress must end this war NOW.

It seems no one wants to say the obvious: Donald Trump is advocating for genocide. It isn’t fake, it isn’t hyperbole, that’s what it is.

This isn’t about “reaching across the aisle” anymore. We need to leap over that damn thing.

Everyday I wonder what it will take for the MAGA crew to see the chaos and implosion he’s caused since 2015. When is it enough?

It isn’t that these folks are delusional, they really believe every word, phrase, and intention he sets. MAGA’s played a dangerous game for far too long.

I am so late to the party, but I binged DEATH BY LIGHTING this weekend, and it was masterful. Every single performance was handled with care, expertly portrayed, and I enjoyed every moment. Not too long, not too short either. Michael Shannon and Matt Macfadyen shined in their particular roles.

I taught my students today about the Authorization for Use of Military Force (2001), and I couldn’t help but stress its relevancy.

The Collector by Ethan P. Healey The air smelled of rain and rotting wood when Daniel and Vanessa Adams crossed the narrow street toward Harbor Books on the Seacoast of New Hampshire. It was a cramped, fading storefront tucked betwee...

Happy #NoKings Day to all who celebrate!

Every Accusation is a Confession….

It is my birthday today. What are the chances @stephenking.bsky.social gives me a shoutout? 🧐

For those who base a presidents’ success on gas prices, where y’all at now?

No. New. Wars.

Not only did I get into a car accident today (don’t worry, I’m ok), but my rent just went up by a lot as part of the lease renewal. 🙃

Praise for Elliot West must feel so good as a historian of the American West. Congratulations! Will definitely be buying.

I agree. There are still plenty of ways to engage students in fun conversations while using real photos and paintings. The skills should be integrated into the fun, if done right.

Last night, I was awarded the 2026 Outstanding Educator of the Year from the Daughters of the America Revolution. To be honored this early in my career is a testament to the dedication I’ve tried to put in the last five years. This award is dedicated to all my students: past, present, and future.

If you’re a teacher (especially social studies) and utilizing AI images as replacement for real historical photographs, you’re part of the problem. It isn’t cute seeing George Washington hold a Diet Pepsi because it’s your personality. Use the paintings and images as a center piece for discussion.

The latest KNIGHT OF THE SEVEN KINDOM episode (4) is one of the greatest episodes to come out of the Westeroes saga. The tension, dialogue, build, characters, all enabled for a brilliant show.

KILLING PEOPLE IS NOT “UNLAWFUL” ENOUGH?!

This is about 3 weeks late but thanks

I know a lot of people debate perfect albums, but I rarely see Billy Joel’s THE STRANGER on any lists. That is a damn good record from top to bottom.

Seeing Zohran instantly getting a bunch of shit done in like a week makes you realize that politicians could always do that on some level if they wanted it bad enough and very few of them actually do.

America is the enemy of the world right now. When Sweden—one of the few who were neutral during World War II—starts sending troops, you’ve fucked up.
