Any history educators out there have a copy of Choices: Racial Slavery in the Americas: Resistance, Freedom, and Legacies? Turns out the program is no defunct so our department subscription is no longer useful.

The U.S. shot down Yamamoto in 1943.

I mean, Name of War was a little over-wrought and very cultural turn 90’s, but…was it really that bad?

They didn’t call him an Alsatian?

I know it’s a higher division than Classical, but the amount I have heard about the La Salle game scheduled for Sunday is almost too much.

Only took us…three generations to break that 50% mark!

Look, the library isn’t going to crumble without the requisite neglect.

James Franklin to LSU?

A+ Long live the regicides. (Even though they didn’t-but Whalley and Goffe got a nice tour of New England hiking trails and basements.)

I don’t remember that one, it might have been intentional. Truthfully, it’s been a number of years since I’ve seen Raymond Burr.

Right in front of Della Street, too. Would have been funnier with DA Hamilton Burger present.

I mean, at this point, was the Hartford Convention really so bad of an idea? (It was, it really was.)

More regicide history!

So a Ron Kaplan book…

Just because I’m a big fan and he’s a friend, Dave Dzurec wrote a great piece on Federalist “salt mountains” satire for the JER a while back.

Hang in there. Fingers crossed!

This one I’m excited about. Very close to where I grew up. How are you getting on this cycle?

I would love it. I would be very good at it. There is no way in 100 million years.

The two C’s of history: context and contingency.

At least for the time being, I’m going to be stepping back from BlueSky. Truthfully, my current job is just terrible for my mental health and, well, the constant deluge of Trump is not helping. If you need me: kevinvrevich@gmail.com anytime. Be well.

Okay, final #hatm thought on queer history. Martin Duberman, perhaps the grand dame of queer history, was someone I desperately wanted to be when I was at Wesleyan. He moved from abolition in early career to queer history for the rest. I so very much wanted to follow his arc. And meet him. Oh well.

It’s…I don’t recommend it. 😂

I live in CT, work in Rhode Island. Plan for a 2 hour commute each way, school starts at 8:00.

Oh, Lincoln!!! Forgot about that. #HATM

Sorry, I taught LGBTQ history for…7 years previously. I do love And the Band Played On most of all. And David Johnson, Lavender Scare.

2). I guess…no, it might be The Perfect Storm.

3). Mushroom ravioli. #HATM

I have to get up for back to school at 5:00, so my days of HATM are over for another year, but:

1). Trans history is still, I think, based on Susan Stryker but I have been curious of the shift toward pre-1920 histories. On LGBTQ generally, I kind of love Gay LA. Margot Canaday Straight State

Do you think, and I’m honestly asking, if it is in part a general rejection by the left of, and I’m trying to pick my words carefully, anything that might try to connect modernity with a non-ideal past?

Like…? If you had to be reincarnated would you pick slug or worm?

Really appreciate the history of the modern university and its importance to how all disciplines conduct themselves in the opening “tweets” here.
