That is my Venmo @AdamHill11685 if you just wanna throw me a few bucks too I’d appreciate it. I know times are tough but as a freelancer that does jump around doing gig work to make ends meet, it’s very hard right now and only seems to be getting worse, I wonder why? lol.

And for anyone that misses the first come first serve, my commissions are pretty cheap at the moment and we can discuss a very reasonable price

I’ve been pretty busy with my parents getting sick and finances. All the fun stuff but I’m gonna start writing again and I was wondering if anyone has any Ideas for a new historical article. No commission on this but it’s first come first serve. Give me something to write about and I’ll make it fun.

Currently accepting article commissions for Substack or if you want it on Medium. Historian by trade so those are the articles I write along with some political. Will accept if I can morally take the work. @AdamHill11685

I see a lot of pretty well to do progressives on here and that’s great that you can live comfortably, however many mutual aid networks can help because no one is donating. Helping people means more than just giving them food, we have bills to pay too. Myself included. Give generously to mutual aid💕

There’s a way to fix this problem with the far right in this country. I’ve read countless books and they’ve made movies about what people need to do. But nobody is gonna wanna do it. If you’re as scared as you say you probably will have to. But materialism is a hell if a drug.

If the last 25 years of presidents who have either done the bare minimum (the 2 dems) or have started decades long wars (bush to trump1) or deport insane amounts of people (ALL OF THEM) and capping it off with Mr ExecutiveOrder/ConstitutionalCrisis cherry on top and you should be a radical now.

Would anyone be interested in joining a Mass Culture Historians Radical Book Club?

If you finally came to the conclusion that this system will end up eating itself along with us all then maybe you could do so much more for the people I know you care about. I am a fan of yours and every time my father had a meeting with you I made a point to take the trip and I’ve shaken your hand

The Mass Culture Historian @ogbluesky85.bsky.social · May 9

You’ve made a name for yourself as an advocate for the working class, but not at the expense of the system keeping them down. You do have plenty of great ideas on how to combat the ill effects of capitalism but they don’t work because the system is based on the rich making the most money they can. ❤️

Been very busy I’ve let my writing fall to the wayside. I’m working on a couple different stories and articles of a historical or political nature and I’ve gotten really into the pirates of the mid 1500’s to the 1700’s so prepare for a really detailed article about them. Writing about Bookchin too.

We have a US born Pope. I overheard last night (might’ve been aljazeera idk) they said that the US would have to be on the way out as the world’s leader for a pipe to be chosen from the US. Idk how true that is as a rule but I can see our country losing its #1 title in my son’s adulthood, he’s 13.

Read @johngreensbluesky.bsky.social book “Everything Is Tuberculosis” which was excellent and I highly recommend it. I grabbed “Lies My Teacher Told Me” 2nd Edition and just started it. Been told to read it a couple times and I’m surprised I haven’t yet.

As of right now I’m locked out of my linked in but I’m trying to understand how it works and if I could get good remote work on there.

The Mass Culture Historian @ogbluesky85.bsky.social · Apr 12

finally have a good computer again and my articles won’t have to be written on an iPhone. That means I can get them out a lot faster. I’m not perfect with scheduling but I never stop writing and with the right tools I tend to write about things I can be proud of. But me a coffee one of these days :)

Shouldn’t we be blaming democratic leadership for not being able to figure out a way to fix it? Can we stop blaming other people for our failings? We have a better message and it has yet to be branded for wide appeal. It always seems to be someone else fault.

The Mass Culture Historian @ogbluesky85.bsky.social · Apr 4

There’s a YouTuber I really like and he is extremely knowledgeable and well spoken on science fiction and to a point with politics, however he is a lockstep democrat and he falls terribly short on calling out the dems for their performance theatre, that never seems to have a fix. Its Steve Shives 💕

Where’s the states rights guys?

So Israel bombed a school that was sheltering civilians. The fact that this has been going on for so long now and both US parties seem complicit in it as well is pretty sick.
