@_Kristine_A My 14 yo just got her first debit card and it is funny. She went out with friends and asked me multiple times before she left if she is supposed to tap it, insert it, or slide it.

@HendrixKomoto Looks like we are both working on our Sunstone presentations.

[John Dinger @dinger_john]

@HendrixKomoto I'm glad you found something. Yesterday I was looking through the census data for Cassia county in 1870, 1880, and 1890. In 1870 there were 0 Black people in Cassia, in 1880 there were also 0, and in 1890 there was one.

@_Kristine_A Yes. Hopefully there are no technical issues

Author copies of my and Cheryl Bruno’s new book arrived today. I’m told there will be copies at MHA.

Look what showed up in my mailbox today. I have a chapter in here on polygamy and the law. Everyone is going to want this collection. It is amazing. @signaturebooks @clbrunobiv

@KatieLudlowRich @JMH_Journal I want to read this so bad, but it isn't on the website yet and my physical copy hasn't come. I'm dying....

[John Dinger @dinger_john]

@WPaulReeve This looks amazing. When will it be out?

[John Dinger @dinger_john]

@BenjaminEPark This is heartbreaking.

@gboatman12 Flake’s The Politics of American Religious Identity: The Seating of Senator Reed Smoot, Mormon Apostle

@jkimballcook As a sex crimes prosecutor, this is especially true. Perpetrators use it to shift blame away from themselves. It also allows families of perpetrators to do the same, blaming porn, rather than the abuser. It is a very dangerous line of thinking.

[John Dinger @dinger_john]

@HendrixKomoto I wish the hardcover was on sale. Regardless, $12 is a steal for this great book.

[John Dinger @dinger_john]

@PotatoMormon @BenchmarkBooks but what book is it???

[John Dinger @dinger_john]

This is the best book I have read this year. 5 stars. It is so much more than a history of the six disciplined in 1993. Rather, it really looks at the church’s dealings with feminists, intellectuals, and LGBTQ+ @signaturebooks @SaraMPatterson

@academijung My vote is we hold it in Boise every year.

Good news x2 today. First, I just had an article accepted by the Utah Historical Quarterly. Second, a chapter I wrote is finally in print and in my hands.
