PhD candidate in history @umich, legal history, carceral state, childhood and youth; she/her; BA @brandeisu, MA @UChicago; when all else fails, I bake cookies
With an intro inspired by the re-release/remix of @TheReplacements 1985 ramshackle masterpiece #Tim, we round up this year's Grad Student Blog Contest, the largest in Metropole history! https://t.co/7j0FIOjBd1 @loud_socialist@AllieGood1229@AHAhistorians@oah @bridgetlaramie
Thanks so much to @UrbanHistoryA for publishing my piece in The Metropole! This episode comes from my dissertation, which is about the history of youth and early family policing in Progressive Era Illinois
"[I]t is a story of a woman and a girl at odds, stumbling through the unintended trouble wrought by an extralegal arrangement forged in the burgeoning family policing system," @AllieGood1229 on gender, family, and Chicago's hinterland https://t.co/QwiWi1AIZC #GSBC2023
This and more covered in @MaintenancePod -- no candidate is perfect. But if we need evidence that 30-year-old positions matter look no further than our current president re crime, immigration, interdiction... it's easy to say the right thing to the right ppl on the campaign trail
From the LA Times archives -- Marianne Williamson opposed unionization not just of her own non-profit, but of non-profits generally. Especially problematic in an industry that, like academia, tends to exploit passion to avoid paying fair wages

Today I introduced legislation to prevent police officers from lying to minors.
Minors are especially vulnerable to providing false confessions as a result of deception tactics.
To put it simply, it’s common sense to prevent police officers from intentionally lying to kids.
@kathleen_belew "Relative Intimacy" and "A Girl Stands at the Door" by @racheldevlin9 are so so good. Also definitey Paula Fass and Michael Grossberg's edited volume "Reinventing Childhood After World War II" and @LjbriggsLaura "Somebody's Children"
It's sad that @UMich would rather sue its students than pay us a living wage. We'd expect this kind of behaviour from Schlissel, so it's disappointing to see it come from Ono.

“On the 2023 campaign trail in Chicago, Vallas has said he’d use militarized charter schools and ROTC programs as incubators for future law enforcement officers.”
Smokey the bear says replying to a listserv -- even if you don't hit "reply all" -- still emails everyone on that listserv. Not just the listserv admins. So. ~Only you can prevent death by 1000 emails~
Happy Election Day Chicago!! I was so excited to vote for @Brandon4Chicago and @DanielLaSpata — if you’re in line by 7pm you’re allowed to cast your ballot!
The casual threat about rent hikes at the end is really what gets me… plus idk about you all but the “guy on call 24/7” has never been my actual landlord. Ridiculous. What an absolute dumpster fire of a take🙄
B/c at the time, cornflakes and cereals were marketed as health foods. This is not an ABC Family moment (esp with the real language). But this bright spot in some really challenging primary sources shows the small ways that people looked after each other and each others kids.
In 1925, a boy and his brother lived in a delivery truck. They ate at the same diner most mornings and all other money they spent on food went to sweets. This led to indigestion and sickly appearance. One morning instead of usual bacon and eggs, the waiter brought over cornflakes
I think this sets up a false dichotomy to encourage higher consumption. Is this really a personal problem or a systemic one? Feels like there might be some ways to build infrastructure that answers this need instead of individuating to consumer habits… https://t.co/6chnAaAKcF
There are better ways to keep children safe than taking them from their families. We CAN abolish family policing and reimagine child welfare. https://t.co/k19FcMzCty
