I was disappointed when ASCH had to meet separately from AHA this month—I often enjoyed AHA’s conference. But I am questioning whether I want to attend AHA ever again. Not only do I agree with the resolution, but it is ghastly for the council to veto it after such an overwhelming vote.

Practicing my kinder, gentler burns for Bluesky.

Black and white antique cartoon (1700s?) showing a man using some kind of grinder. The text is “My mill grinds pepper and spice, your mill grinds rats, and mice.”

We managed to translate cooking time into 18 languages but we forgot to tell you what the actual cooking time was.

So it has taken a bit longer than promised but the Oxford Illustrated History of the United States is about to go into production! Watch this space for pub date and possible (shameless) semiquincentennial branding. And massive thanks to the stellar contributors who have been incredible to work with

US Cold War Historians: i'm trying to find a graphic that I thought existed from the Cold War era US that tied various organizations to each other and to communism, including women's clubs. Does this ring a bell with anyone?

Haven't seen one of these for SHAFR / US in the World people, so thought I'd make one given that I'm currently trapped under a cat. Happy to add people! go.bsky.app/CFos3Xu

Reminder: Sure, the student protestors turned out to be right about Vietnam, and gay rights, and apartheid, and the Latin American dirty wars, and the invasion of Iraq -- but *this time* they are cluelessly naive and only protesting to look cool to their friends.

I’ve seen @victorerikray.bsky.social discuss this a bit, but when elite institutions select students based in part on leadership, activism, and demonstrated commitment to political and social causes, why is anyone surprised by … any of this?

Pulitzer Prize Board acknowledges the "extraordinary real-time reporting" of student journalists covering campus protests. www.pulitzer.org/news/stateme...

As we gather to consider the nation’s finest and most courageous journalism, the Pulitzer Prize Board would like to recognize the tireless efforts of student journalists across our nation’s college campuses, who are covering protests and unrest in the face of great personal and academic risk. We would also like to acknowledge the extraordinary real-time reporting of student journalists at Columbia University, where the Pulitzer Prizes are housed, as the New York Police Department was called onto campus on Tuesday night. In the spirit of press freedom, these students worked to document a major national news event under difficult and dangerous circumstances and at risk of arrest.

'Massacre in the Clouds' will be published by PublicAffairs in exactly one month. I know I post about it all the time - and I promise to stop as soon as the Bud Dajo Massacre is recognized alongside Wounded Knee and My Lai as a key moment along the blood meridian that runs through American history.
