Come help me celebrate the paperback release of my award-winning book "Elevations: A Personal Exploration of the Arkansas River" from 4 to 6 pm Tuesday at the William Allen White historic site at Emporia. Buy a book and I'll buy you a drink (or rather, give you a drink ticket). See you there!

Opinion from @maxmccoy.com: To understand the present, we must confront the ghosts of 1876. They still haunt the American soul. #ksleg

To understand the present, we must confront the ghosts of 1876. They still haunt the American soul. • Kansas Reflector
If there’s a symbol for the summer of 1876, it isn’t a gallant last stand. Instead, it is the steamboat Far West.

Congratulations, @wikipedia.org! Your new unnecessary AI feature made my simple search of a specific topic clunky and multi-stepped. Just because you can doesn't mean you should.

I've been listening to the extra @troytaylor.bsky.social American Hauntings Patreon-only podcast series about the murders at Starved Rock. Interesting story in its own right, but also fascinating historic connections to FRCO: many tribes around Starved Rock ultimately end up in Franklin County, KS.

And! Wanna know what makes #Quirk smile? Reposts! He asks all who join the #antiquesroadshow live watch party to repost early, often, and relentlessly, to help the hashtag trend and, in turn, help the @roadshowpbs.bsky.social handle pick up more followers. Repost, repost, repost, please!

It speaks to the engaging and meaningful quality of the opinions run by the @kansasreflector.com that I remember every single one of these 67 pieces. It's a reminder that Kansas continues a long tradition of thoughtfulness and empathy.

Now I'm pondering...what defines a news outlet? Everyone started newspapers (with various degrees of quality and political leaning) in every Kansas town in the 1800s. Many KS towns no longer have a paper, or their paper has no one reporting on public meetings at all.
