Past expertise as a chili dog chef, parking lot attendant, and BDU wearer. Now: historian of masculinity and labor, servant to twins and a dog.

Here's the Labor Day op-ed that I wrote with one of our fantastic UU undergrads: https://t.co/cAtrvRMisc

It is hard to overrate the importance of this. Grossman is, without a doubt, the most important writer in Israel today and the heir to Amos Oz. His son Uri was killed in southern Lebanon in combat in 2011. A great Zionist, a great man and a true Israeli icon. If he says it, he means it deeply.

@lizingleson Congratulations!🍾

@trentdwood Go ahead and say it. That was the most clutch Utah bars routine may be of all time. Simply spectacular!

[Matt Basso @MatthewBasso1]

@CourtneyLTanner @UUtah Thank you for your reporting, Courtney. Jack Newell is a wise man.

[Matt Basso @MatthewBasso1]

@RideUTA Thanks for your quick reply. I already spoke to them, but honestly am hoping to amplify this since I’m worried the fix won’t happen until the next schedule adjustment in 4 months—which, given winter, is too late. @nateforutah @slcmayor @GraniteSchools @SLCoMayor

[Matt Basso @MatthewBasso1]

@RideUTA the new 213 south schedule gets to Cottonwood HS at 7:34 am. School starts at 7:30. Kids, who are the primary riders of the 213 at that time, now need to catch the bus 30 minutes earlier. Can you fix this?

[Matt Basso @MatthewBasso1]

This is especially problematic / unsafe in the winter. Thanks for rethinking this.

[Matt Basso @MatthewBasso1]

@JMKinder @UChicagoPress Look so good!

[Matt Basso @MatthewBasso1]

@JeaniOBrien What. A. Game!!!

[Matt Basso @MatthewBasso1]

@JeaniOBrien I’ll be there! Hoping to toast a Lynx championship

@lori_flori That’s a gorgeous cover!

Last night, I tweeted support for our women’s volleyball team's refusal to play @SJSU. Today, I learned the transgender athlete has competed against our teams for the past 2 years without issues. Regardless, it's never too late to end up on the wrong side of history. #utpol

Here’s one of the things I’ve been up to the last half decade. It’s been a joy working with @NPSHistory, @ncph, and especially our @uofuhistory grads and undergrads!

[U of U Humanities @UofUHumanities]

Associate professor of History and Gender Studies at the U of U, @MatthewBasso1, leads five-year project with the National Park Service (NPS) that provides public histories of the WWII home front, one of the most remarkable periods in our nation’s history. https://t.co/dBPzz7R4Ts

😂 nailed it

From Salt Lake - Brian Higgins: Amendment D will ‘strengthen’ your vote by taking it away. Utah homeowners can strengthen their home by giving it to me.

Fantastic op-ed from my colleague @WPaulReeve — needs to be circulated widely

[Hollis Robbins @anecdotal]

.@UofUHumanities own @WPaulReeve in @Deseret quoting Joseph Smith: “It is the nature and disposition of almost all men, as soon as they get a little authority, as they suppose, they will immediately begin to exercise unrighteous dominion.” https://t.co/PsUj2aGbva

While the GOP in states like Georgia and Utah are banning our children’s books, @Tim_Walz worked to banish kids’ hunger. That’s the future we deserve. #DNC2024

Native American, LGBTQ, Disability, and Latino WWII home front history webinars follow in subsequent weeks.
