So: our article is online! Coming in the December issue of the AHR, the thing Michael Goode @goodemichaelj and I have been working on for a while. It’s going to be in the History Lab section of that issue, on peace history. Right ordering, baby.

We’re deeply saddened to hear of Steve Albini’s passing and keep his family in our hearts. Thank you for all that you contributed to punk rock in our town and the reverberations of creativity you brought forth, felt the world over.

Co-authoring is wild, because you either write something amazing together in 4 weeks or agree to pick it back up in 2040

I support students' right to protest, even when they do things with which I disagree or that make me uncomfortable. Nothing they do or say is as dangerous as militarized cops trampling upon freedom of speech. I am more afraid of tyranny than my students' words and deeds.

I’m honored and excited to share my work @mcneilcenter tomorrow!

[Benjamin Park @BenjaminEPark]

This is a phenomenal book and everyone should be very excited.

Laughing at this error by the bookbinder, which makes the book seem much cooler than it is.

A 🧵 on #AIDS in the 80s/90s:
I was 15 when I first had sex with a man.
I’d snuck off to London’s Heaven nightclub with the express intent of ridding myself of my ‘gay virginity’, a goal I achieved easily with a visiting American photographer.

Hey historians! I'm looking for great first paragraph hooks from articles or monographs to share with my honors thesis students.

Any suggestions?

These are the most beautiful (thread) 🧵

As an occasional interloper in U.S. history (my training is in Black Atlantic and Caribbean and Latin American history), I just think that IHE article is interesting and ought to be considered alongside James Sweet's remarks in Perspectives from a little while ago.

Last January, I noticed something peculiar in my 2yo’s bedroom that - after a year of obsessive reporting - led me to a profound cosmic revelation about what’s even possible in our universe. A 🧵.
