Have never actually read this! It’s cold outside, I’ve got the fire on, and a doggo curled up by my side, so I’m going in.

www.nytimes.com/2025/01/29/b... #RIP to a true gentleman and scholar. He was incredibly kind and generous to me when I was a new doctoral student @ruhistorydept.bsky.social (tho Bill was at @unchistory.bsky.social ). I was full of fire, he was full of patience.

I read Leuchtenburg's books about FDR when I was in college and they had a deep and lasting impact not only on my understanding of American history, but on my ideals about what we should expect from leaders and presidents. RIP to a great historian, biographer, and scholar.

I've done a series of paintings on salvaged canvases reflecting the devastation of #helene in #asheville and the #riverartsdistrict. I'd like to say that this exorcized my demons, but when we gather it is still the first and last thing we talk about. #art #landscapepainting

A timely reminder to #Skystorians and others who care about the #RuleOfLaw. In the short or long run … HISTORIANS ALWAYS WIN. We name the names. We break the silences. We expose pasts that are neither dead nor even past. We write the wrongs. And we always win. Always.

Once he grasps his fate—“the wild and limited universe of man”—Sisyphus discovers a certain freedom; he gets to determine whether to face the futility of it all with joy or sorrow. Camus writes “The struggle itself toward the heights is enough to fill a man’s heart. One must imagine Sisyphus happy.”

Jimmy Carter was an honest man who believed in the promise of this nation. I honor him for that. I'm sorry that we didn't fulfill his election wishes. Very sorry. For many reasons.

#ChristmasAdvice Just smile quietly at predictability. Instead of seething inwardly when they do or say exactly what you know they are going to do or say, just smile silently at how predictable they are. It’s actually a fun way to endure family gatherings. Give yourself points and keep score.🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄
