We always watch Sponge Bob in hotels. It's always on Nickelodeon, which we don't have at home.

I met Melissa Hortman once at a fundraiser in our town about 70 miles southwest of the Twin Cities. Most people live in the metro area and its easy to ignore the rest of the state. But, Melissa came to see us. She was a kind and generous person and a great leader. Thank you. Rest in peace, Melissa.

I hope I'm not too late to share this book by @richardivanjobs.bsky.social. I already ordered it for my college library, but would love a personal copy. I'm tagging @drsepinwall.bsky.social and @rpanchasi.bsky.social

I haven't actually read Lethal Provocation yet. It's on my list for the summer. I think chaps 2 and 3 are the most impactful in terms of argument. Chap 4 is great for understanding WWII.

I have a new book review out in Nineteenth-Century French Studies. The book is Law, Order, and Empire: Policing and Crime in Colonial Algeria by Samuel Kalman. You can read it here: www.ncfs-journal.org/kathleen-kel...

Alyssa, a lot of the webpages for NEH grants are still active, but I have serious doubts that they will be funded. I'm waiting on a notification for an application I submitted last August.

I published a book review as part of an H-environment roundtable on the book _The Starving Empire: A History of Famine in France's Colonies_ By Yan Slobodkin. You can read it here: networks.h-net.org/slobodkin-st...

Great essay. It reminded me of the situation in India a few decades later as described by Mike Davis in _Late Victorian Holocausts_.

I did not know it was going to be a dystopia. They tricked me into thinking it was a regular political thriller.

Recently learned that @chanda.bsky.social is coming to Gustavus next month. That's so cool. gustavus.edu/calendar/moe...

It was there in 1999, maybe the last year.

I just read this article w/o knowing you were in it. Your quote is excellent.
