Words fail me so I will continue taking action inspired by upstanders, past and present.
Grateful to the author, a former student, for clear reporting.

Just watched a video in which someone talked about Covid making people histamine intolerant but the subtitles rendered it as "history intolerant" and honestly that seems to fit better.

Today in middle school:

Wishing the very best school year to all!

Quick trip on a rather warm day to Etowah Mounds near Cartersville, GA. Super interesting Indigenous site along the Etowah River and offers nature trails.

You should join the #HATM crew for this wild ride in about an hour!

Field trip to the Eisenhower farm where they retired and lived the rest of their lives at Gettysburg. It’s now a National Park Historic Site complete with Ike’s personal putting green.

So grateful that my cousin, who is a Gettysburg Battle guide, took me throughout the Battlefield and then up Little Round Top at sunset last night. I learned so much to add to Bayonets! to share with my students this year.

Listening to Michael Neiberg. David Blight spoke to us last night 👀

Happy Birthday #HATM!

Book Cover American Duchess with a women in a white dress with large hat

Just realized I have not been posting my books. I’m still reading…mostly audiobooks in my car, in my moving truck, whilst setting up my new classroom, on my workout, etc. Finished American Duchess about the fascinating life of Consuelo Vanderbilt & includes her mother Alva Belmont. #Bookish

From Smithsonian description: "This ambitious chart presents U.S. political history on a single page. Moving from left to right, a timeline of parties, policies, persons, and events courses like a river through graphic space marked in four-year intervals. The analogy between politics and springs and rivulets (that jump and rejoin their banks) is the most conspicuous feature of the timeline. The parties appear in different colors. The ascendance of a party is gauged as its stream rises above the centerline, and above the streams of other parties. The thickness of a stream indicates the party’s strength. The diagram is meant to dramatize U.S. political history in a more accessible shape for educators and to offer a ready reference for scholars, statisticians, and statesmen. The chart itself, titled “Diagram of the Rise and Fall of American Political Parties, from 1789 to 1880, inclusive,” is from the Conspectus of the History of Political Parties and the Federal Government, by Walter R. Houghton, 1880"

Absolutely incredible graphic from 1880 tracing the history of political parties in the United States.

Take care and courage out there. See you next week! #HATM

Wants me to watch The Alamo next. No thank you. #HATM

The juxtaposition of the beauty of this place and the violence #HATM

These scenes stress me out #HATM
