The neat thing about having kids is that when I buy Sees and it quickly disappears I know it’s not just me who ate all the chocolates/candies.

I’m writing a short historical essay for a special issue for teaching and it finally has my brain moving/thinking again. It’s good to be writing again.

So, the history of and current forms of (systemic) racism and white supremacy are now “racial conspiracy theories?” Good to know.

Cross posting cause it’s too yummy not to 🍒

Delighted to share that tonight I won the super bonus 100 tickets at the arcade 🤣🥳

Remembering the time an elder mailed me a box of pilot bread in Albuquerque along with stuffed animals for my kids 🥺💜

There's only 1 commercial producer of hardtack in the US: Interbake Foods & they sell 98% of their product in Alaska, where hardtack has a long history. It was easy to transport to rural areas & was required on all light aircraft (hence "pilot bread") as emergency rations.

This is an excellent question- I’m reminded of the time I couldn’t access an article through a library database so I searched the scholar’s name and emailed them asking if they had a copy they’d be willing to share. They did indeed share the article pdf!

For those not working in academia, how do you access peer reviewed research, if at all? How would you like to? How can academics get better at sharing findings?

As a kid, I remember I would ask my mom how to spell something and she’d say “get the dictionary”. That’s so 1990s- I don’t even have a physical dictionary in my house.

Text messages should cost money again- so the political ads stop.

“I was told that I had 5 days to remove my tribal affiliation and pronouns” according to Little in South Dakota. This shows settler colonial violence linked to state mandated surveillance on gender identity. www.msn.com/en-ph/news/u...

Editing. Today trying to iron out the timing/effects of the federal Homestead Acts (1862-1916) & how these laws channeled nearly 1 million white settlers into the west to lands occupied by Native people. It is as Paul Frymer & others have argued, an exercise of state capacity without the military.

i'm not sure how I'd calculate what percentage of my political opinions and intellectual personality are the direct result of watching people manufacture two whole wars, collectively shrug and say "oops! well, anyways..." and then watercolor into the sunset but i'd say it's gotta be above 50%

We desperately need a historical accounting of GWB's worldwide destructive impacts because it's clear to me that too many people seem unaware.

Okay - all eyes on UCI. Students at UCI have taken one of the buildings, and it's absolutely nuts the amount of police which have been called out. They're asking for back up from 30 minutes away, and there's at least two helicopters circling the campus.

Grades submitted! Done with teaching spring 2024! A grad seminar and a survey of Native American history class.
