FDR, April 1938: “A democracy is not safe if the people tolerate the growth of private power…where it becomes stronger than their democratic state itself. That…is fascism—ownership of Government by an individual, by a group or by any other controlling private power.”

Powerful piece by @sarahbelle721 about the sacrifices—and the resulting mental anguish—we experience in pursuit of tenure track gigs.

They loved affirmative action when it was for white folks and they called it “legacy.”

Happy Halloween from this historian. My hot take today? Elon Musk is like the Nazi sympathizing Charles Lindbergh risen from the dead! 👻🎃

I want to give a quick shoutout to Dr. Treva B. Lindsey @divafeminist for writing and publishing her brief, yet comprehensive, piece on the history of the US abortion debate in "The Conversation." My students and I benefitted greatly from her fantastic article. #citeblackwomen

@laura_ping Was just thinking of you, Laura! Let’s have a virtual happy hour soon! ❤️

The directions our research pulls us in can sometimes be quite weird: I would have never imagined that I'd have to learn the intricacies of hard cider and cheesemaking when I set out to bring to life the lives and labors of enslaved women in early New England.

@ParisNoire @UB_History Robin, you look FABULOUS (as per usual)! All best, xoXo

@sethrockman @TheJERPano I'd gladly take these off your hands if you haven't recycled them already!

@robfitts @prestigejapanbb @mikefloreani @npbcardguy @MarkArmour04 @NPB_Reddit @JapanBall @robneyer @SABRbbcards @CardboardHistry Hi, Dr. Fitts: I am a history PhD student studying enslaved women's labors in 18th c. Narragansett. Would it be possible for you to send me an email: I'm not able to find your email address or send you a message via Twitter: [email protected]. I'd like to speak with you.

Today, the ideas and words are flowing freely and effortlessly. I need to sequester myself and surf this productivity wave the next few months as I finish the dissertation. It's been a great day; I'm eager to share the lifeworlds of New England bondwomen with the world someday.

"Indeed, labor was so inseparable from life that, for most slaves, the two appeared to be one and the same... [But] In addition to toiling in the master's economy, slaves created their own." -Ira Berlin and Phil Morgan, Cultivation and Culture (1993), pp. 2-3.

#twitterstorians can someone please offer a good secondary source for quantifying agricultural products in colonial British America? From what I understand, 1 bushels of corn & 1 bushel of wheat weighed different amounts... I've skimmed Russell's "Long Deep Furrow" to no avail.
