Congratulations, friends!

Some really good lines in here: “Great works of history are transformative because they are neither predictable nor obvious; therefore, they cannot be replaced by a technology that simply reproduces existing patterns.”

The AHA Ad Hoc Committee on Artificial Intelligence in History Education spent two years carefully and thoughtfully investigating this issue. I hope that you will read the results as carefully.

A separate committee will address AI in Historical Research and Publications.

Guiding Principles for Artificial Intelligence in History Education These 14 foundational principles are meant to assist educators and administrators in crafting AI policies suited to local circumstances and the specific needs of students.

The AHA has published Guiding Principles for Artificial Intelligence in History Education, offering a disciplinary approach to AI that focuses on the specific needs and challenges of history educators. 🗃️

Weeding and Writing History Weeding keeps Cecilia Slane’s hands busy while her brain works through research questions.

“Gardening has become part of my methodological toolkit for doing history,” writes Cecilia Slane in her second #AHAPerspectives summer column. 🗃️

Same! And can’t wait to get my hands on that book tomorrow!

YAY! Happy book birthday, @oliviawrites.bsky.social! 💜🩷💚

Loooove this book.

I'm sorry, friends, but you're going to see the RUP link and the Bookshop link many times over the next month. I hope you forgive me. (And also that you buy a copy. If you forget about that first order and buy a second, even better.)

If you love @nursingclio.bsky.social, or any of our individual editors/writers, preorder our book!

What the actual fuck

I think the use of chatbots for stuff like this is intended to train people to use it to avoid everything that’s painful or hard. It can write the obituary, the breakup text, the complaint letter. It’s meant to separate humans from their difficult feelings. Seems bad.

As someone who has edited more than 100 obituaries in the last 5 years, I find this incredibly sad.

Ben, thank you for so often including #AHAPerspectives!

Stephen King can have this idea for $100,000.

At least once a week, an ice cream truck drives around our neighborhood after dark. This feels like a horror movie to me, with tinkling music trying to attract children out into the night. 😬

I have a stack of physical books I want to read next (all horror fiction) but I also like to have ebooks for my phone when I’m surprise nap-trapped by my newborn. I can only flip between books if they’re totally different genres, though. So, anyone have nonfiction/craft/essay collection suggestions?

you want a romance book that's about men reading romance books to learn romance? IT IS A BOOK. a whole series in fact.

romance has been the most popular genre since kingdom come. you don't want to talk to women to learn how to talk to women? READ. take a look. it's in a book.

It’s one of those books a million people love and has been recommended to me many times. Especially when I say that I love Sabriel by Garth Nix. So I figured it was past time!

Also, on Wednesday I get to see @oliviawrites.bsky.social in person on her Zomromcom tour at another romance-loving bookstore. I am living my best life.

FINALLY went to the DC area’s new romance bookstore, Friends to Lovers in Old Town Alexandria. It was a wonderland. I had to be very strict with myself in limiting my purchases. #romancelandia

Radical Tariffs Aren’t New, But They Have Been Disastrous In four cases, tariffs have led to depressions in US history.

"Since the 19th century, US government actions have led to drastic changes in international trade and finance,"
@nelsonhist.bsky.social wrote in #AHAPerspectives in April. "And in all four cases, the result was not recessions but depressions." 🗃️

Watch the AHA’s Congressional Briefing on the history of tariffs on C-SPAN. Panelists @douglasirwin.bsky.social, @sharonannmurphy.bsky.social, & @rauchway.bsky.social discussed how the government has implemented tariffs in the past & how they have impacted the economy. 🗃️
