Thru the years I've seen a lot of footage from Carole Lombard's WWII bonds tour but *nothing* as clear as this...remarkable stuff!

“There are so many Spider-Man movies. We should think about that as a culture” @rmbryer bringing the most important topics to #NCPH2023 #s36 - excellent panel!

And here it is: one of the reasons why some don’t want the horrors of slavery taught in schools.

Because they don’t see it (or Jim Crow) as an atrocity.

What a grotesque statement and egregious insult to the countless Africans who perished in the Atlantic or were enslaved here.

[Scott Hechinger @ScottHech]

Do not forget this. NYC Mayor Eric Adams is still fighting to gut NYC public libraries & public schools while the NYPD just blew past their allotted budget by $100 million in overtime alone. $100 million would fund the library & school cuts with tens of millions to spare.

@cameshascruggs Congratulations Camesha!! Amazing!

[NY Working Families Party @NYWFP]

Mayor Adams says he wants to achieve “fiscal discipline” by gutting public libraries that are a critical piece of NYC’s social infrastructure. There’s nothing responsible about this plan. It’s an austerity measure that will harm working New Yorkers.

Please help me get this to @NYCMayor Eric Adams, who is now demanding $34 millions in cuts to New York’s public #libraries - @nypl @BKLYNlibrary @QPLNYC - over the next several years, so he can funnel more money to the police.

They're hyper-citing founder-folk because they can't support their claim w/actual evidence from the founding period.

Below is a paragraph from the amicus brief filled by a group of historians of the founding period. The brief as a whole can be found here:

My latest: there is a killer, or maybe more than one, stalking gay bars in NYC. At least 2 men were drugged, robbed using their phone’s facial recognition tech, and killed.

More survived similar attacks, most recently on Nov 12. I spoke to 6 survivors. https://t.co/cpxJG0UF32

BREAKING: Glenn Youngkin introduces a new proposed K-5 history curriculum, completely REMOVING all mention of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

[James A. Garfield National Historic Site @GarfieldNPS]

Actor Chris Pine perfectly demonstrates the series of emotions every member of our staff experiences when asked if President Garfield liked lasagna.

New favorite probate inventory item: Bacon. No amount, no storage method (elsewhere there is “barrel of pork). Just: Bacon.

@lvanden1 Both in the collection where I work: incredible pictures of children, different mediums.

[Joe McReynolds @McReynoldsJoe]

One trick I learned from Tokyo that helps for understanding any city: when you come across a charming small biz in a sea of generic chains, ask them about their relationship with their landlord. For example, this is the fantastic Alabaster Bookshop, near Union Square in NYC...

Lyminia has definitely supplanted my recent fav, Abiathar, which I did not like as a name for a child, but who I assume was a wise and just ruler of Gondor.

[Emma Winter Zeig @emma_zeig]

Every time I go the cemetery I get new candidates for historical names that are both the best and the worst. Today:
Lyminia Butters
Aravilla Bullen
Apphia Hall Judd

[Emma Winter Zeig @emma_zeig]

To be clear, I love all of these names with all of my heart. But also why would you do that to a child?

A series that ranges from: “I was told there would be cake” to “I have realized that the cake was a lie.” We’ve all been there, kid.

Posting because I slightly touched them up for my work Instagram - two of my favorite historical photos in my favorite historical phot genre: 19th century babies who do not want to be in this photo #PublicHistory
