A bus at a bus stop marked k

My Pierce County transit bus is a few minutes late. My 6 minute transfer becomes a 1 hour layover in Lakewood. 3 hour journey becomes 4+ 😭

23 minute layover in downtown Tacoma. Lovely.

595 bus time table.

I had to harass a postal employee here to a new phone that they kept saying was undeliverable. I lived one block from a post office (that is under a freeway!) but they sent it here instead. Ok, end of storytime.

Tadao Ando at a table signing books. A handsomely detailed concrete wall is behind him. A coterie in architecture blacks and navy surround him.

I just got back from Japan, and I ran into Tadao Ando in Osaka mostly by accident.

A yellow gaming device with a crank on a wood table. It has a LCD screen with an image of a present and what look to be snowmen. There is a plant in the background.

If you're a US historian who'd like to do this but are unfamiliar with the process, hit me up & I'll help you identify your target publication, write your pitch, & get your piece into that sweet, sweet 600-750 word range. (Pro bono in case that wasn't clear).

It's my literal job & I'd love to help.

The Volunteer Data Hoarders Resisting Trump’s Purge Can librarians and guerrilla archivists save the country’s files from DOGE?

I use signal. You should use signal. Top US government officials should not use signal.
