I miss a lot of wildlife rehab with raptors, though I am very glad to not be responsible for thawing frozen dead mice to feed them anymore. We had quite a few that were too injured or too comfortable with humans to release (that was always the goal) and hanging out with those guys was the coolest.

Just watched 3 @denverpolice.bsky.social cars swarm a car, pull their guns, screaming at the passengers. This after they terrorized and chased a group of kids through Northfield with paintball guns. Miss me with the “we should call the cops on ICE” nonsense.

And I want people who were grown at that time to remember how absolutely LONELY it felt to be anti-war. The massive protests were only refracted through the lens of the MSM.

If you are looking to get your mind onto something creative, interesting, inspiring, PBS has a new doc on Edna Lewis who, despite knowing a bit about her, I didn't know she really originated the "farm to table" movement, having mostly heard Alice Waters be credited. www.kcrw.com/culture/show...

I would probably subscribe to a patreon of @bakerdphd.bsky.social live posting about reality TV. Re: the apparent near monolithic whiteness of the show, Gallatin to Kansas City KS is an hour away which for this part of the country is basically just around the corner and KCK is full of Black ppl 👀

If you were too young in 2003 here is what Bush told the American people: 1) The Iraq War won’t cost a lot of money 3) We won’t need a lot of troops 4) We’ll bring peace and freedom to Iraq 5) We’ll find WMDs 6) We’ll be welcomed as liberators 7) It will be easy 8) It won’t take long All lies.

It's a silly thought but this reminded me of the so-called July crisis (three week delay) that preceded the Austria Hungary declaration of war that started WWI which ncluded some of the heads of state/diplomats being "on vacation" to give cover to the delay

It feels important at least to me that the first elder millennials' elections we could vote in were Bush v. Gore (1999/20 - my first election) or Bush v. Kerry (2003/04) and that the first W. Bush presidency was the first election where the person who won the popular vote was not the person who won.

It feels a little too on the nose to have been attending a conversation on the international historical and legal construction of whiteness and have someone in the room say "so...the US just bombed Iran"

They’re going to try to make you feel insane for opposing this war. They’ll ignore protests and downplay any opposition. They’ll try to strongarm you into submission. They did it with Iraq and they’ll do it again. And then a few years later they’ll pretend they were with you all along.

A fun thing I realized after talking to my dad is that as a young man in the early 20th c my grandfather was a union steward for the United Packinghouse Workers, which became UFCW. Organized labor is foundational to my and my family's success in this country. Labor history isn't just history.

Harvard IS really great at resisting "Cellini & his researchers have identified more than 900 people that had been enslaved by university affiliates...& nearly 500 of their direct living descendants. It wasn’t long after the work began to pick up steam that Cellini started running into trouble."

one other side of this is something that I try to emphasize to my students: "what does freedom actually mean" is not a 21stC issue anachronistically read backwards into the 18thC. The US, French, and Haitian Revolutions happened at more or less the same time, with an overlapping cast of characters

This has moved this up to the top of my TBR because if there is something I want more than understanding the social and cultural repercussions of Meta it's to laugh at the likely absurdity of the people involved
