Me: “So, Thomas Paine was very clear: ‘No Kings.’”

Also me: “Is this going to get me fired?”

Hey, nerds: What is this name? I really want it to be John Brown, with some kind of flourish at the end to indicate he was clerk of court. Is that a thing? How do you interpret the end of this name?

Apropos of nothing: I love that fashion has super-sized. I think I can finally pull off a Stop Making Sense suit.

Thank you to all the tireless, long-suffering air traffic controllers who got us to Baltimore without any unaliving.

Trying to make it through a busy international airport on a Sunday morning during a government shutdown with a broken foot while monitors doomscroll the shittiest news from the stupidest administration makes you really start to think, “you know, maybe humanity has run its course.”

Portland protesters blasting Yakety Sax at Kristie Noem as she walked around the roof of the ICE building is resistance sublime.

All of Ruthie’s pictures from daycare look like she’s an English orphan asking for more porridge.

Super easy to write. Much easier than an iPad. Don’t really know about getting things off of it. I don’t do that.

Not the pro version. I don't recall if I subscribed or not, honestly. I don't think I did. I just love it for keeping notes. I used to have notebooks floating all over the place. Now everything is in one place.

Historian friends: I have an honors students writing a thesis about needlework samplers by Indigenous girls at mission school in the 1830s. I don't know much about the scholarship on boarding and mission schools in this early period (other than Snyder and Demos). Any thoughts?

I’m finding it very hard to live with the knowledge that our nation’s highest military official recalled career generals from their jobs around the globe just to tell them “don’t be fat,” while somehow I still have to teach today.

While Hegseth says the nation is under siege by woke, he made fairly clear today that America’s biggest threat is cringe.
