I can do laundry and get stains out of clothes. I can also file everyone’s taxes.

I don't know, if Trump going to be the president from 2017 to 2431, maybe AI knows something that we don't....

Thank you!

Occasionally there are a few revivals (although I don’t know about Canadian ones). The most famous one was at the 25th anniversary featuring Barbra Streisand. And hopefully soon, when I’ll finish my book, you could read more about Pins and Needles and its making

The butter in France is to die for and it such an abomination that we can’t get a butter that good in the US.

On its 10th anniversary, Hamilton is still going strong, getting a film release in September. But if Pins and Needles, and its legacy, should also be remembered. Its message and importance are still relevant today like it was in the 1930s./end

still image from Pins and Needles showing a group of workers on strike with signs saying "strike" "scabs" "unfair" and an actress dressed as a rich lady and an actor dressed as police officer next to them. The still is taken from the number "it's not cricket to picket"

And just like Hamilton, which captured the political moment of the Obama administration, promoting a vision for a more just, equitable America and giving voice to marginalized people, Pins and Needles also gave a voice for working-people, promoting a vision for a more democratic America./5

Eleanor Roosevelt with the cast of Pins and Needles

Pins and Needles were the first command performance to be performed at the White History, and like Hamilton which claimed Michelle Obama as one of its greatest fans, Pins and Needles had Eleanor Roosevelt, who was instrumental in bringing the show to the executive mansion./4

YouTube video by Release - Topic Sing Me a Song with Social Significance

And like Hamilton that brought new music into the mainstream, Pins and Needles offered catchy songs and melodies with a pointed political message that called for workers solidarity, spoke in favor of unions, and criticized fascism./3

The cast of Pins and Needles showing the diverse group of garment workers

Like Hamilton, which had a diverse cast offering a different take on the story, the cast of Pins and Needles was also racially diverse and challenged conventions, featuring garment workers without professional experience that sang about their own experiences at the shops/ 2

10 years ago Hamilton changed theater forever, but it was not the first Broadway show with a strong political message to appear at the White House. Almost 80 year before it, in 1937, a different musical - Pins and Needles - also made history and changed Broadway. /🧵🗃️

In 2024 Biden was the president so you can rest assure this statistic is going to be engraved into Kash Patel’s forehead

Hay @lportwoodstacer.bsky.social,
Look what came in the mail. Can’t wait to dig in

Lots of robber barons were shot in the gilded age. Frick was not the only one.

Nothing better than open my Sunday with @americanstudier.bsky.social great thread, full of great scholarship and writing

It was a wonderful experience. Certainly a dream come true

Doing research for The Gilded Age, I can’t tell you how thankful I was for all those who wrote about obscure topics few people care about. Their articles proved very useful when I went down some weird rabbit holes with questions from the production. You never know when your research can become handy

Both are good but I would go with the right one

All clothes are hand-made, even the fast fashion ones. Machines don’t know how to sew or knit. You have to have a human hand to make clothing.

George Russell might get his dream after all.

yes, and also how comfortable companies are with scandals like this, which no longer creates backlash, but free publicity. Advertising has long been a way to shape and normalize discourse and the AE ad is only the latest example. Talked about it a bit here: www.usatoday.com/story/life/h...

Watching the latest episode of #thegildedage and I see none other than previous guest @einavrfox.bsky.social listed as a historical consultant! 😍

Visiting the #Worth exhibit is like going through Bertha Russell’s closet. (And there was even a reference to the show!). Wonderful exhibit, see it if you are in Paris

congrats! That's wonderful!

I’ve been teaching a class on sex for the last few years and can attest from conversations with students, that while they are having much less sex than previous generations, conservatism has nothing to do with it. The answer I often get - they are too busy and tired

The fashion historian curse: I know too much about the fast fashion industry to bring myself to buy it, and can’t afford the elite fashion I truly want to own and wear

I have an account but I rarely post there, and not really following the feed. When looking for a job outside of academia it's quite useful, and I know people from the industry looking at it. Also, a lot of fashion people apparently are active there, so it's another network I can use.

Even from France, @americanstudier.bsky.social threads are always enlightening, and I especially appreciated reading about Disneyland after a long day visit in its Paris location
