I'm reading a book and the author asks: "Who gets to be the backlash?" and I think that this is a profound question. She uses it in speaking about Nat Turner, David Walker, etc... and asks why their actions don't get to be defined as 'backlash' to enslavement.

gonna write a tumultuous, epic novel about three generations of Finns and call it East of Sweden

Went out to water the garden and found a toad sheltering from the heat in the pond! Also some pretty roses and a single boysenberry working on getting ripe.

Sometimes people ask me about the super rich in Renaissance Florence, whether the art/culture/science boom was an example of trickle-down working. (A) Florence had a wealth tax, (B) its richest man Palla Strozzi had the equivalent of only $250 million. Want more Leonardos? Tax the Rich. 🎨🧑‍🎨🖌🎭🔭🖼📚📐🏛🎻💰

I don’t want sequels, especially for beloved movies of my youth which ended bittersweet. I want Hollywood to make movies of newer books instead of crouching like a jackal on the bones of nostalgia.

i know there are folks out there who think of my work as some kind of joke or meme and think i will find joy in them putting my name in large language models. i do not. i find it ghoulish and disgusting on level that is almost difficult to quantify. it is existentially abhorrent

Reminder that if anyone on Facebook contacts you claiming to be me, it isn’t. Also if anyone, no matter how famous, tries to hard sell you on a writing coach or book trailer or whatever this version is pitching, be very very suspicious!

Tucked up in a little independent cafe in Chesterfield, with two “oops I slipped” books by @tkingfisher.bsky.social and @amalelmohtar.com 😁 This is what annual leave is for!

Reposting from The Other Site because it's unusual to see one of my usual historian rants get so concisely memeified.

And if you see water collected in the road, THAT MEANS IT'S FLOODED. Do NOT drive or walk in it. Yes, even if you think the road is flat and it can't be that deep. I once saw the blacktop on the road itself in front of an elementary school whisked away in a flash flood.

California folks, speaking as a former Midwesterner, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE do not underestimate flash flooding as a danger. DO NOT drive or walk on or near flash-flooded roads! No, not even for just a little stretch!
