Hey Mayo, MN looks pretty grim. The irony…

Time for a baby elephant.

Let’s just say that Columbia University asking the public for donations/support for its international students was not on my bingo card. Bananas.

Hello #historians: The #OAH’s Call for Proposals for the 2026 annual meeting in Philadelphia (“Re-Thinking American History at 250”) has just been extended to April 29. I’m a member of the program committee and would love to read your submission! More information here 🗃️: www.oah.org/2025/04/14/f...

Recurring humanities dilemma: being mad at your past self for assigning so much reading this week. Jeez… 🙄

Oh dear you’re going to want to read this. Looks like DOGErs were caught exfiltrating NLRB data, likely on unions, for private (seemingly Elony) use. This is must read. What we’ve all suspected. But now details. www.npr.org/2025/04/15/n...

I'm excited to welcome Dr. Sherwin Bryant (Rice University) to my "Slavery in the Atlantic World" course on Wednesday. Students will discuss his work on early modern government(ality), racialization, and enslavement in colonial Quito with Dr. Bryant (and hopefully ask many questions). 🗃 #BlackEduSky

Sometimes I am still thrown by how deep American Exceptionalism as an actual belief system runs in the U.S. education system. And how few students have had the chance to examine it.

That trophy video, though…

I, for one, am really taken aback that the man who drove his family home with a severed whale head on the car roof is also an unhinged eugenicist.

Isn’t it remarkable how time just moves at double speed on Saturdays and Sundays?

High, and I mean, HIGH time for a baby elephant.

Whenever I have asked people who have been vocal about the evils of "wokeness [sic]" a few questions as to why, it inevitably resulted in a breathlessly told anecdote of how a woman/Black person/non-cishet person was mean to them that one time 🤷‍♀️. (And now they want revenge. It's ego, not intellect.)

Happy Passover to all who celebrate! 🥚🍗🥬🥔🍷

One thing I love about using Workday are the incredibly well-written guides telling you how to perform a basic task by clicking 8 counter intuitive boxes one after the other.

The internet will forever be the place in which people "answer" rhetorical questions. It is what it is. (Or is it?)

Have people with (purposefully) loud motor vehicles ever considered that they are not alone on this planet? I can't be sure.

🙃

I will need approx. five more seasons, please. Thank you. #ThePitt

(Baby) elephant time.

BIt of a rough week, innit. #HowIsItOnlyTuesday

Wow... 🗃️

Sotomayor’s dissent (and Jackson’s addendum) = 🔥, though.

This week in class:

Me being slightly bored with this season and nonetheless starting the White Lotus finale on the hour like:
