For The New York Times to choose to publish Jesse Singal today, of all times, is a choice to attack trans people, to make them even more vulnerable while they are already under attack. It is an appalling abdication of the Times’s journalistic duties.

Thank you!
In the December 2025 #AHR: “Methodologies in Indigenous History” includes six historians whose works draw from both history and Native American and Indigenous studies (NAIS) as they discuss the methodological turn in Indigenous history and progress to be made in incorporating NAIS in history. 🗃️
Haha that’s hilarious, I need to see this guide
Book cover depicting a map cartouche of four Indigenous people--two on land, two in a canoe--and a snippet from the map of yellow, pink, and green watercolor borders drawn by John Povey, clerk to William Blathwayt, on Robert Morden and William Berry’s A Map of New England New Yorke New Iersey Mary-Land & Virginia (ca. 1676).
Holidays are over, and I'm motivating myself through the marking and emails by sharing the cover for Claiming Land, Claiming Water: Borders and the People Who Crossed Them in the Early Modern Atlantic with @pennpress.bsky.social. Please indulge me! www.pennpress.org/978151282925... #skystorians
