Alright, y’all! #MrsAmerica landed in Houston for this week’s episode that covers the 1977 National Women’s Conference. Forty years later, Gloria Steinem called the NWC “the most important event that nobody knows about.” But why?

Yes, my friends, it is that time of year: the leaves begin to change colors, the temperature cools and the time-honored tradition of rooting for your favorite chonky bears at @KatmaiNPS begins.

The new iteration of “The Office” has been picked up to series at Peacock.

According to the official logline, the series will focus on “a dying historic Midwestern newspaper and the publisher trying to revive it with volunteer reporters.” https://t.co/HfMJ65oK73

Every US political historian I know is currently staring agog at their TV after the Kennedy ad.

A Sugar Land nonprofit calling for more efforts to memorialize the Sugar Land 95 has secured a $10,000 grant to create a mobile museum spotlighting the history of convict leasing in the area. https://t.co/JXnkKDRD2M

The Texas Historical Commission removed books on slavery from plantation gift shops. An agency spokesperson claimed that the move had nothing to do with politics.

Internal emails show otherwise. https://t.co/6OUBSuGnvG

This is fun. S/O to the @HoustonChron Ed Board for including Charlotte Allen as a founder. https://t.co/rT9ssyBXy2

[Caitlyn Jones, PhD @Cait1ynJones]

Yeah totally out of line that reporters would ask a superintendent - who heads an unelected board, has control over district pursestrings, and is a former charter school exec - about a widely unpopular decision that has the potential to harm marginalized kids 🙄

and now a nice little shot at the media lol

20 yrs ago today, “The OC” premiered. I keep showing my kids pics to prove how cool I was. For some reason, they don’t seem to get it.

@DahviWaller Hi! I'm working on my diss about the National Women's Conference and I'm writing about the Houston episode of Mrs. America. Timing might not be great w/ the strike but would love to connect to learn more about your creative process on the show if you're interested.
