Men are so boring about this. This and their mid-AI. It’s all so deeply boring. I would ignore it all if the combo of their silly sex obsession and mid tech weren’t dead set on killing us all.

omg

Yes! I love that detail too.

DUDE.

Thank you! And will do.

I only had about 5 clean pages in the entire manuscript. 😆

Mostly capitalization and comma errors - and I definitely defer to the copyeditor on those …

Oooh, thank you! The minor hyphen change has not yet made it to the online sale sites - but it will!

The cover of "The Westerners: Mythmaking and Belonging on the American Frontier," with the font in white over a green-tinted landscape painting of three Indigenous women on a raft, moving across a lake with mountains in the background. Partial images of four different people - Jim Beckwourth, Sacajawea, Ovando Hollister, and Polly Bemis- fold over the left side of the cover from the spine.

And ... voila!

Thanks again to my sharp-eyed copyeditor, and to @joshuajfriedman.com and @bcdreyer.social!

I have just written to my editor—we're still early in the production process (the book is out in late April) so I think it will be an easy fix.

And of course, this is the only place in which I use this particular word. An important place, though! 😆

So, fellow history professor kids, what kind of writing assignments are we thinking about that are AI-resistant? Beyond some in-class reading responses and close primary source readings, what things have been moderately successful for an in-person class? 🗃️

Hoo boy. Okay! Looks like we will correct this here.

And the catalog copy. 😬
And the cover. 😬😬😬

Thank you!

I am a known Anglophile tho 😆

BTW, @merriam-webster.com says it’s “mythmaking” but the OED says it’s “myth-making.” What to do?

Perhaps @bcdreyer.social can weigh in?

SPOILER ALERT
