Kate Carpenter

Here's the doc: www.justice.gov/epstein/file...

Can't get over the (female!) academic who winkingly asked her agent if it would be too ironic to ask Epstein to donate to Princeton's Center for Human Values so she could go there.

Just so obvious that they all knew exactly who he was, and didn't care.

Nothing makes me feel seen and loved quite like someone getting me a box of See's soft centers.

Ooh, this is on my book shelf, now I'm motivated to read it!

Unfortunately I've been stuck for three days working on this one stupid bit of historiography, but still.

Sixteen-sticker streak, baby!

Interesting, thanks!

Hey historians, what should I read on the history of U.S. masculinity in the second half of the twentieth century?

Extremely glad I tuned in for that. ❤️

Yay! So glad they arrived!

We've been cooking something up, and I'm buzzing about it!

Against a gold and book-filled background, the text says; "Hang in there, readers and reviewers - we're on the way!" with a burgundy and gold logo (including a manicule, which is just a cool word to use): The Prologue, Coming soon ..."

Given the WaPo news, a PSA from me and @katecarp.bsky.social:

One of my small pleasures these days is when a writer I already wanted to interview pitches me.

I'm pretty sure Bezos made that back in interest just in the time it took me to write this response.

I heard a rumor that LARB is moving away from reviews. ☹️

When I was in j-school, many years ago, working at the storied WaPo was the dream. What sad, sad days these are.

Listen to hear me fangirling a little too hard...
