Urge Governor Beshear to VETO HB490. This bill allows BOTs to close programs/depts and even fire faculty that they deem "misaligned" with the mission or finances of the university. But the mission of the university isn't the Board's to decide. It's ours.

Honored that @nimishabarton.bsky.social reviewed my book for the AHR! Such a pinch-myself moment.

I'm going to France for the first time since 2018! Biggest question (besides what pants do we wear now??): How are we getting photos onto computers? I always just took archive photos with my iphone and then made them into pdfs by box, but... is there a better way?

An incomplete list: inviting still-living subjects to come to my talks; pretending "Notes" in archive boxes are addressed to me (breaking down that 4th wall!); not bringing lunch to Pierrefitte; meeting my idols; reading the whole monograph; assuming everyone else knows what they're doing...

Crowdsourcing class planning: Has anyone found a way to screen Tirailleurs for their students? It's on bluray in France, but is it here?
