And those kinds of debates about the Edelweiss Pirates and the Swing Kids will be part of our discussion. I've not seen the film, but it looks to be available in the US via Amazon Prime. Thanks for the suggestion!

Biathlon is my favorite winter sport other than hockey. I find the whole heart rate control stuff fascinating.

Seghers could be good – I'll have to think about it.

The Sophie Scholl Insta thing creeps me out, but it's a good conversation! Thanks.

Someone else also recommended this one. I've seen it, and it's good – though I also never would have thought of it without people mentioning it, so thanks!

Thanks for the suggestion – I'll take a look.

I'll take a look – thanks!

I teach Undesirables in my world history by graphic narratives course and was thinking about it here as well. Thanks.

I've not see it – I'll take a look. Thanks.

Thanks – I'll take a look. It also seems more manageable in terms of length, if I want to do something in class.

A colleague who loves Battlestar Galactica has long told me that I should watch – and I guess that I should! Thanks.

Thanks – I'll give it a look.

I'll take a look – thanks!

I've never seen it but will take a look – thanks!

Thanks! I love the Andor series. I hadn't thought of All the Light We Cannot See, but that fits. Defiance too. Some other great suggestions here but not sure that they fit as well for what I'm thinking.

It is – it's not the best film, but I have great affection for it.

I hadn't been thinking more board games than video games, in part so that we can have an in-class games day. But I can probably also set up a laptop station for video games. I'll take a look – thanks!

This is on the list already – I've found that it teaches well, so I continue to use it despite its age.

I have it but haven’t yet played it. I sometimes do a games day the final day of class. I have Black Orchestra and Valkyrie but need to see how long they are. Rosenstrasse is too long for a class period.

Thanks. This one is definitely on the list, and I agree with the age dynamic. I’m thinking of pairing it with the White Rose graphic novel.

Also, if you have favorite scholarly articles about non-conformity, opposition, and/or resistance in/against Nazi Germany, feel free to post those as well. I already have a lot, but I’m always looking for things that work well with undergrads (majors and non-majors).

Skystorians 🗃️: For my spring Nazi Germany course I want students to think about popular representations of resistance. I’m looking for films, games, and graphic narratives. I have a list started but would love to hear your favorites! Thanks in advance!

I agree with the critique of AI, but I just really don't like tricking/entrapping students.

So great that LMU's radio station KXLU got so much love in the @nytimes.com. Also that WFUV from @fordham.edu got a shout out.

Opinion | A Victorian-era cannibalism case poses a simple but profound question “The custom of the sea” ended with a landmark conviction in Britain after a shipwreck.

The Mignonette is also the subject of an Avett Brothers' album of the same name and a Broadway musical "Swept Away" using the music of the album. I saw the musical last year, and as odd as it might be to say this about cannibalism, it was a great time.

I've been wanting to watch this since it first came out. It would be nice if they would release it in the US sometime soon!

Visibility brigade style message on the overpass. JUSTICE FOR SURVIVORS and AX ICE. Beautiful flags wave above. Protesters stand behind messages waving at drivers below on freeway.

That’s me in an inflatable bumble bee costume with a really cute funny face. I’m holding a sign to the street traffic: HE’S THE PIGGY

3 of us in cue inflatable animal costumes. Penguin Duckie and Bumble bee.

West LA Freeway Brigade kicked ass today. JUSTICE FOR SURVIVORS and AX ICE got tons of honks! Didn’t see a single finger today… but maybe due to my bumble bee costume blocking my vision!

U.S. Coast Guard will no longer classify swastikas, nooses as hate symbols The military service, which falls under the Department of Homeland Security, has drafted a new policy that classifies such items “potentially divisive.”

Excuse me, what now? The swastika is merely "potentially divisive"? "Potentially"?!

The thing that I have most associated with the Coast Guard was how great they were during Katrina...but this will change that.

One of the things I learned when I lived in Mississippi was that a lot (maybe even most?) Black households had guns for protection. So this isn't as new as we might think it is, but thinking about the reasons why they had guns then should also tell us a lot about today.

Pope Leo returns 62 artifacts to Indigenous peoples from Canada The Vatican returned 62 artifacts to Indigenous peoples from Canada, a historic restitution that is part of the Catholic Church's reckoning with its role in helping suppress Indigenous culture.

We don’t get much rain here in LA. So – with caveats about the dangers of mudslides, esp. in the burn zones, & flooding & about how lifelong Angelenos don’t know how to drive in the rain – this is wonderful! Esp. on the weekend when we can just curl up & read or watch a movie or binge a show. 🌧️☔️
