Historian. Author. Professor. Budding Curmudgeon. I study the contrast between image and reality in America, especially in politics.

Seattle, digital strategy, activism, dogs, theater, pop culture. Nervous optimist. 🌈

I never did try Twitter. It was one social medium too many. Nevertheless, in my little way, I am doing my little bit here to counteract what I see as evil men trying to take over anything that’s good and make it vile. Wish us all luck!
