My mom suffered from dementia before passing, one year ago today, but she had her moments of lucidity up until the end. If your dad could read your work, he would be so proud. Outside of all that, I loved your writing, learned a lot, and now have so much more perspective on Beck’s art in context

Julie Curry @curryj.bsky.social · 09/10/2026

Thank YOU!!! I loved reading your work. If I may say so, having also read your dad’s book on Big Bill Broonzy, I think he would really love and appreciate your investigative work, journalism, analysis, and meticulous attention to detail, nuance, and context, if he could.

That, and everything else you wrote about, from contemplating death and its surrounding rituals in different cultures, to the very personal experience of pet animal deaths, to the also ever so personal experience of loss of a family member—beyond important, and also essential to think past our time

Julie Curry @curryj.bsky.social · 09/10/2026

Yes, and your book is wonderful, honest and thought-provoking, both truthful and authentic (and instructive on the difference between these latter two terms). Congratulations on your accomplishment, and thank you many times over for expanding this reader’s horizons

With the most immense respect for everyone who’s involved in the grind, she’s great and we DO deserve her. We should have this level of representation always, it’s a travesty when we do not, and we should always be grateful for and appreciative of our representatives who truly represent our values

So you have to face some kind of reconciliation or re-education committee in order to be reinstated, having been found to have hurt Claude’s nonexistent fee-fees? There is LITERATURE on this and it’s not looking good for the oppressors.

050

Julie Curry @curryj.bsky.social · 09/10/2026

It is a good, important book, and you should read it not just to expand your thinking about death and life, conceptually, but also to get out in front of the fact that your time will come and you need to think now about taking care of your loved ones when that sad event occurs

we all (those of us who bother to self-reflect) just grind it out a day at a time, or an hour at a time, or even fifteen minutes at a time (getting through the next 15 is my idiom). Hang in there, my friend 💜💜

I was listed as five three in an official press guide once because I, very honestly, self-reported as five two and three-eighths. Tallest I’ve ever been

Julie Curry @curryj.bsky.social · 09/10/2026

I agree, such a beautiful place (and home to some wonderful family memories)

020

Julie Curry @curryj.bsky.social · 08/10/2026

Not an acceptable apology, by my lights. There is a ton of daylight between “I’m sorry it happened” and “I behaved badly and take full responsibility for my bad behavior and promise to learn from it and do better.” The latter is acceptable. The former is a start, but by itself woefully inadequate.

020

Julie Curry @curryj.bsky.social · 07/10/2026

Buy this book, if it looks intriguing to you. I can affirm, it is awesome.

Julie Curry @curryj.bsky.social · 07/10/2026

This pleases me. I hope HRC continues to support the rights of all people. Abandoning any group’s rights, wedge issue or no, is barbaric and inhuman. Period.

Thank you, just what I needed tonight (while reading your book, of course)

Critical theory be damned, I need to cry.

050

Julie Curry @curryj.bsky.social · 07/10/2026

I straight up guffawed when I read this. The kids would say “I LOL’d” but ”guffaw” is more accurate. Also it’s what I did. And you’re right.

Julie Curry @curryj.bsky.social · 07/10/2026

Our current situation gives me so much empathy and insight into past eras that looked astonishingly ridiculous to me as a (much younger) history student. Like, you’re looking at people in the 1920s or 1930s and asking why they acted or voted how they did, or entertained the ideas they did. And yep.

030

Julie Curry @curryj.bsky.social · 07/10/2026

I have your book, I am reading it, I am 44 pages in, and I am enraptured. I’m not even to where you’re talking about Beck’s music, and I just want to keep reading. Thank you for writing this book! It’s exceeding my expectations

In addition to her inspiring fashion sense and legendary craft as an actor, may her memory be a blessing

Julie Curry @curryj.bsky.social · 07/10/2026

or at least suggestively plausible in the current semi-professional environment—so maybe awareness-raising. The characters are engaging, especially Alice Chilton and the players when they are given their chance to be seen. I have quibbles, but mainly, I‘m finding a lot to like about this season

020

Julie Curry @curryj.bsky.social · 07/10/2026

I am still a couple of episodes shy of the finale, but I have found a great deal to like about the season so far. The context of second-tier women’s football feels so very much what it was like being on a newly-varsity-listed college team in 1983 (over 40 years ago!) and yet, probably accurate…

Julie Curry @curryj.bsky.social · 07/10/2026

Assuming human historians are still around circa 2050, it will be interesting to see how they will describe this nonsense, in lieu of just pounding out barf and embarrassed-face emojis

Aw, can confirm about how I met Miri and how I feel about her, and 💜💜💜

Julie Curry @curryj.bsky.social · 07/10/2026

Hi Erin. Miri is an empathetic, inquisitive, knowledgeable person who is well worth your time to get to know. I have learned so much from following her, and she’s just a good person all around.

Julie Curry @curryj.bsky.social · 07/10/2026

Damn, Greg, this is what it’s all about. I hope they heard you.

Julie Curry @curryj.bsky.social · 05/10/2026

It is apparently in the mail and I cannot wait to have the thing in my hands and read it

020

Julie Curry @curryj.bsky.social · 05/10/2026

yeah, awareness of these things has kept me from reading and even made me dismissive of the original essay, but apparently there are aspects that are timely enough now to pay attention to. I guess it’s like filtering Hegel to meet our immediate times. Tbh, Nietzsche works better for youth soccer 🙂

I confess that I still need to read Fukuyama on this, but from my understanding this is really what it’s all about

130

Julie Curry @curryj.bsky.social · 05/10/2026

I have chafed against many of what I’ve understood to be Fukuyama’s arguments about the end of history. I still haven’t read his original essay (nor his more recent addendum) but I guess it’s time. My soccer teams won’t play any differently (respect is still respect) but maybe I’ll learn something

010

Julie Curry @curryj.bsky.social · 05/10/2026

Not an IR folk but definitely a lapsed historian and even though life has shown me into a soccer coaching role I have been aware of Fukayama’s essay for a long time (not to mention his addendum, for a shorter time). I have internalized a lot of Hegelian “respect” in many facets of my life. 1/2

The propensity for grifting in the midst of chaos is enormous, and would be a great value lesson in saner times.

0130

Julie Curry @curryj.bsky.social · 05/10/2026

Been avoiding it (for decades) and am sure I will have many, many issues with it, but yeah, probably have to read and engage seriously with it now, sigh

If there is any chance your plants are also taking out some mosquitos, I am all in favor of your plan. To be honest, I think hanging Nepenthes plants are cool no matter what

Julie Curry @curryj.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

I’m the last person you’d want advice from, but I would say don’t get down on yourself over making the best choice that was available. Sometimes life just sucks, and you’re nowhere near a dummy (take it from someone who is). You’ve got this dummy in your corner, fwiw
