Very true. And it's always a challenge to convey that paradox to students. 🗃️

#LGBTQ people what do you wish you knew about #LGBTQHistory ? #Historians what do you wish others knew about the #HistoryOfSexuality ? Tell me all about it. I've been thinking of ways to bring historical research to non-scholars 🗃️ #skystorians #queerhistory #AcademicSky

i often say that to say we don't need to write bc AI can do it is like walking into the gym and announcing to the weight lifters that they don't need to work out anymore because the forklift has been invented. that was never the point of the gym

never listen to the people who say there's "nothing to do" in any particular city because they would say that no matter where they lived. they would claim there's nothing to do in Manhattan

It’s worth noting that Taco Bell identified the source before the FDA did, and promptly pulled it from their stores. The FDA didn’t even name the source until Taylor Farms outed themselves, and hasn’t issued a recall. Basically, Taco Bell is now a more reliable authority than the FDA.

We need historians because they provide the evidence and context needed for informed public debate. In classrooms, courtrooms, and communities, historians help ground important conversations in historical evidence. Where have you seen history shape an important conversation?

Please don't ever get it twisted. Just because I am interested in innovation and having better more creative ideas does NOT mean I am interested in hearing 400 stories and quotes from Mr. Steve Jobs. Or really any other computer man

As a history teacher in Mississippi, I've heard all their arguments. "It was about states rights! It was about the economy! It was about freedom from tyranny!" Ya just gotta keep the thought going. It was about a state's right to do what? The economics of what? The freedom of whom?

Ooh! I write all about this in my upcoming book, Coffee Culture New Orleans! The French Market was a social hub and trading post before, during, and after the war! And coffee was sold and served to all. My book will be available on August 20! ☕️ #coffeesky #coffee

15) If You Make A Call On A Banana Phone by Gideon Sterer illus by Emily Hughes Sort of a “give a mouse a cookie” format but more absurd. You can call a gorilla on your banana and make a new friend.

13) The 13th Day of Christmas by Adam Rex A man receives the 12 Days gifts from his true love enumerated in the song. At first it seems like a terrible idea. But he then starts to change his mind. Several clever gags on the song occur within the text.

people think that the more you study the more you know, this is backwards. the more you study the less you know, which is awesome because then you ask more questions, which leads to more studying, and studying rules. all things are endlessly complicated. studying is a gateway to more studying 🗃️

If you aren't seeing skeets from some of your fave people, they might have been labeled "Rude" by bsky mods. Idk what they are thinking, I don't need a mommy to tell me who to be buddies with. Anyway, go into Settings > moderation > bluesky moderation (advanced) and turn Rude off.

I told the post office clerk I needed some stamps with my usual caveat: no flags, no white guys. She rummaged through the drawer and said "Is SpongeBob a white guy?" and everyone on line was like "No."
