Perhaps you’ve never had to tell your child why you think they have cancer. Like the story’s subject, I have, and it is an unanswerable question just like she said. Also, it cost nothing for you to scroll the hell on.

You didn’t follow me, but I would be beyond thrilled if you followed me here! I mostly share food and public history stuff.

And people with bad penmanship were kind of far more common than people with perfect “Round Hand” or “Copperplate.” But get a long enough letter and the ability to zoom in on certain parts, you can suss out the words. Wording is a whole other thing that varies by time period…

This was such a pivotal case—both for Black Americans and Indigenous Americans (Mildred Loving was Black and Rappahanock)

I love that he does not even have exotic tastes in airplanes. He appears to just go to a Used Planes Guy on craigslist and picks up the airplane equivalent of a Chrysler LeBaron and then just hurls it into the ground

One of my college friends had one and he had a “song” that he would sing about it:
LeBaron, LeBaron, oh car of mine. LeBaron, LeBaron, why are you mine?

I was thinking about renting one for the massive amounts of country ham I will have left on the whole country ham we bought for Christmas dinner (for our family of 3 😂)

We have a 2013 Outback with 350k miles on it and (knock on wood) it’s still a great car. We’ve since bought a newer one and gave the old one to our son. I highly recommend getting one!

As a state employee at a public history site, I frequently tell new staff that we must avoid discussing present day politics. We can, however, talk about political issues in the time periods we cover (17th-mid 19th centuries).
