Lapsed historian of science. Educator, amateur sociologist of Orthodoxy, tweeter in the early morning. US history/politics, race, feminism, SAR HS Color War, π
@skjask And every single one of these men should, at a bare minimum, driven out of public life forever. Yes, Bill Clinton. Yes, Bill Gates. Yes, the whole crew: Steven Pinker, Noam Chomsky, Alan Dershowitz, Alex Acosta, Donald Trump, the whole entire list.
@DBashIdeas@zschrieber My friend, you forget that I grew up yeshivish and without a TV. I know who these people are, but have no idea what characteristics might make the comparisons apposite.
friendly reminder that the best case scenario over the coming years is that a lot of people say "I supported Trump but this isn't what I wanted at all" and when they do that it's gonna be really, really important that we say "welcome in," not "fuck you, we told you so"
@ParkerNation25@Leezard3 I think as a history teacher I am required to maintain public professional neutrality between U.S. and European history. If you ask me privately what I think, I might have opinions.
@Leezard3@ParkerNation25 Slander. Vile slander. I did no such thing.
(Anyway, they haven't let me teach APUSH in almost ten years πππso no one else is subject to teaching predilections.)
This week was SAR High School Color War. For those of you who've been following for a while, you know that I usually tweet exclusively about that for a few days every December.
In fact, SAR High School Color War is why I got on Twitter in the first place.
@DGamulka Last year, my grade was red team, so I ran around in a Price jersey. This year, my grade is blue team, and since I don't own and am not buying the ugly baby blue reverse retro from a couple of years ago, I ran around in this. (Looks black in the photo, but I promise it's navy.)
@18_forty Thank you to @SruliFruchter for your thoughtful and sensitive editing, back when I was deliberating over publishing this. And thank you to @18_forty for first launching it into the world.
