Thought of your work yesterday while attending a talk by @kathleenbelew.bsky.social on 1990s Christian nationalism in Colorado.

Never mind the jobs you had, tell me five classes you took in college:
1. Utopia, Dystopia, Myopia
2. Myth, Morality, Rings (Lord of the Rings)
3. American Political Thought
4. Victorian Literature
5. Age of Reason and Revolution

Media outlets are claiming that Greenland would be the largest ever US territorial acquisition as a way to pique interest.

Problem is the original Louisiana Purchase was over 900k sq. mi. Greenland is 836k.

I couldn't be more thrilled with the cover art for my forthcoming book with @uncpress.bsky.social. Lindsay Starr and the rest of the art production team knocked it out of the park. Thank you to everyone involved.

It's starting to look like a book.

Sounds like a Nic Cage operation.

Incredible that this was written over 70yrs ago: “School is shortened,…philosophies, histories, languages dropped…. Life is immediate, the job counts, pleasure lies all about after work. Why learn anything save pressing buttons, pulling switches, fitting nuts and bolts.” Fahrenheit 451

But August 1940 also suggests a more international context with the onset of WWII and increasing US support for the Allies through industrial production.

Possibly an interpretation of economic or industrial democracy. Wendy Wall’s work might help: global.oup.com/academic/pro...

Central task in my 20c US history course is featuring the contested definition and application of democracy.

It was a whirlwind week finishing out the term, but a highlight was presenting my research to the Brooke Society @caiuscollege.bsky.social. Got to share my work on historiographies of Christian nationalism during the 1950s.

Going to add this to my collection. I enjoy using Herblock’s several works on McCarythism with students.

My end-of-the-term solution…

While going through security at Logan for an early morning flight, I turned around to see Nick Offerman behind me.

Or the Baptist “Brother (first name)”

Definitely feel this way when it comes to the discipline of history, but not as much when it comes to politics. I don’t understand those who tell athletes who’ve made a political statement to stick to sports.
