One thing that grad school at an elite institution does not prepare Ph.D. historians for is the fact that, once you get a real job, especially if it's at a small or state institution, you will like spend much, even most of your time teaching classes outside your expertise.

Peak music Twitter lunacy is framing Kelis as some failed musician as if she’s not a MF innovator who continues to tour the world. These jokes about her farm and culinary business is weird at best. Like damn she built a biz from the ground up and she’s the loser? Huh?

ADOC officials just told a reporter that her skirt is too short to witness the execution. Other reporters were able to find her pants to wear.

Tomorrow I'm going to finish a ROUGH draft of my Katrina and culture wars piece. What I have right now is a necessarily too long narrative about the weekend Katrina hit New Orleans and how I felt. Which needed to be written but doesn't need to be published.

I was a little bit joking about this but if I can figure out the tech I will ABSOLUTELY do this pay per view style.

Does some outlet want to pay me to write a review essay on this and God's Battalions and The Glory of the Crusades and Spencer's The Politically Incorrect Guide to Islam (and the Crusades), just a general review on four pro-Crusade Islamophobic hate manuals?

I hope your blueberry crop gets eaten by a bear, and you just have to watch from a distance, and unlike Sal you don't get an adventure or a beloved children's book, the bear just poops on your car and eat the blueberries and leaves.

I hope your next lobster roll is warm, like a room temperature in summer kind of warm, the kind where it's an accident and unpleasant.

I think I have a couple of public facing pieces left in me before I disappear into courses, teaching and comps prep in the fall. One on Western perceptions of the Zelenskyys’ Vogue shoot and the other on Griner and Whelan (after the trial is over). Outlet suggestions?
