Her children had been scattered to orphanages when she was institutionalized. Later in life they found each other, and then they found her, but not until 2021. They replaced her number with a real grave stone and left this message on findagrave, which broke me.

Findagrave flowers with text: "Your children remembered you, though it took a long time to find you. Rest well, Anna. You are loved."

Volunteered for this event in 2007 just for the shirt. It’s no wonder I became a historian.

they both got lucky with bruises and minor cuts, but also rabies shots and Jasper needed surgery for a drain. maddening.

At a rain barrel installation workshop and it comes with merch. I’m stoked to wear my sanitary authority shirt all summer.

Miles complained some about the Artemis livestream (it’s no Ms. Rachel), but he also asked to do his space puzzle and read his planets book so I think it made an impression!

Dorothy Day would probably be befuddled and mortified by such a thing as the “book bedazzling Galentines” I just attended, but nevertheless I couldn’t help myself.

The cover of DL Mayfield’s book “Unruly Saint: Dorothy Day’s Radical Vision and its challenge for our times.” Sparkly white gems have been glued on the left side of each letter, with one brown gem on the end of the cigarette Day is smoking in the illustration.

I’m really enjoying Miles’s Christmas haul.

Spoke at our local #NoKings. Proud to announce that more 150 years after he wrote it, Douglass’s “Composite Nation” speech still earns huge applause.

we did a fun train excursion today! my favorite part was the shared exasperation of all us moms of toddler boys chasing them every which way and praying for survival.

this bumper sticker on my block is a bit crass for my tastes but seems very much Bluesky’s taste.

A bumper sticker on an Equinox. A cartoon moth man next to the words “Mothman ate my entire ass at a Denny’s! It was a grand slam breakfast!”

the genius of AI at work, folks. can't even tell that I insulted it to its robot face.

A screenshot of an email exchange between me and an "Ava White." I said "I think that AI is fundamentally antagonistic to the humanities and everything it stands for. I will never be integrating anything related to AI into any of my courses or their content." The Ava reply opens with "I appreciate your interest in CampusKnot.." and continues with a sales pitch.

I haven’t had the wherewithal to stockpile much, but I *know* the tariffs are coming for my fancy European chocolate. Buying a few extra bars each Wegmans run has built a good collection now.

A stack of a dozen or so Milka chocolate bars, mostly caramel flavor.

a historian and a journalist go to a protest…

Two cardboard signs. One in black ink: “We can make America what America must Become, James Baldwin” and one in white ink: “Trump Take Egg”

Glad that Wilkes is keeping the tradition alive with today’s flag raising.

In the foreground the trans flag waves next to the US flag. It is a sunny day, and cherry blossoms are visible in the bottom right corner.

It’s a shame plastic bags are dangerous because baby Miles is OBSESSED with them.

Dream achieved: I assign Battle of Algiers in World History and a student left a review for it on archive.org. fwiw the five stars makes me think this is "oh god my heart and emotions" not "you evil bitch you assigned subtitles"
