1925 Indy 500: The Complete Story - Part 1 - Motorsport Anthology After I transcribed all of the newspaper coverage from Indianapolis newspapers about the 1925 Indianapolis 500, I had approximately 90,000 words, though a lot...

I transcribed all of the Indianapolis-based newspaper coverage leading up to and the actual 1925 Indy 500 race, compiled it and edited it down into a four part series so behold (Part 1 has links to the other 3 parts): motorsport-anthology.com/1925-indy-50...

we call her addy baddy

anyway we had not intended on keeping a puppy but addy tried to die and my mom said “if she lives, we’re keeping her” and well she lived so here we are

we think? she’s a beagle/chihuahua mix maybe? we honestly have no idea because she and her sibs were found locked in a crate in the woods on the side of a mountain in kentucky so 🙃🙃

a picture of my new puppy (addy)

i’m fine, i’ve been fostering puppies. we are keeping one. it’s been fun, they keep me busy. i’m on a new anxiety medication which i think is helping. now you are caught up

i’m sorry to say i always forget this place exists

The Winner Of History's First Car Race Murdered His Wife In A 'Crime Of Passion' - Jalopnik Albert Lemaître, the winner of the 1894 Paris-Rouen, stood trial for murdering his wife a dozen years after his historic victory, and got away with murder.

I wonder how fast I'm going to regret writing "If his heart broke, you can't send him to the rope" as a bit of levity in a bleak story about how juries were disturbing cool with husbands murdering their wives in 1900s France.

I’m not the only one? A RELIEF (my child is obsessed specifically with Halloween animatronics)

max and seb need a brother?

I MEAN it’s not completely out of the realm of possibilities tbh

in my family it was “xyz was friends with al capone” 💀

i have an email for people to send me stuff that’s linked to my website and through this i’ve learned that a fairly common family legend is “xyz was a riding mechanic in the indy 500”

like it’s hard to feel bad knowing that lack of marketing has been a criticism for like 50 years atp. If Roger is gonna be cheap, then well so be it, I guess

anyway i’ve arrived at this place re: indycar — i’m not getting paid to worry about nor fix the marketing problems and so i’m just not gonna… if this is a sinking ship, well 🤷🏼‍♀️

this is a rhetorical question i do know the answer to it

i just wonder if the people at penske entertainment have figured out yet that getting every race on fox and doing 3 commercials was um. not sufficient to do anything to increase indycar viewership numbers

it’s also why i never get anything done 💀💀💀

my legit favorite thing about doing archival newspaper research is all of the incidental things i find

Too much togetherness!!!

i was just worrying about how many times i can write something about a singular indy 500 before i look stupid 💀

sometimes i get @elizablackstock.bsky.social’s substack and it’s like she’s writing advice just for me 😌

I also have a second perspective re: this book because ultimately this book is a death investigation too and as a death investigator, I concur with his conclusions and his reasons for those conclusions

I’m so glad DPTJ book club included this book!!!

I’m not exaggerating when I say that The Last Lap changed the lens in which I view the pre-war motorsport period

i love a good motorsport shenanigan and this one doesn’t even get me yelled at (so far)
