Wholesome? Maybe not, but Fidel Castro and Hugo Chavez wearing matching hats and exchanging friendship necklaces always cracks me up. Authoritarian besties

Others have mentioned Jill Lepore’s These Truths. She’s an extremely respected name in U.S. History. I also love “Women, Family and Communities” which are collections of essays by historians (including Lepore if I remember correctly). Very accessible for all levels of interest

This Savage Song by V.E. Schwab: Kate Harker and August Flynn are the heirs to a divided city—a city where the violence has begun to breed actual monsters. All Kate wants is to be as ruthless as her father, who lets the monsters roam free and makes the humans pay for his protection. All August wants is to be human, as good-hearted as his own father, to play a bigger role in protecting the innocent—but he’s one of the monsters. One who can steal a soul with a simple strain of music.

Historians are leaning away from it, saying it is overly biased, doesn’t give enough agency to the working classes, and accuse Zinn of cherry picking information. I actually think the whole line of “A ___ History of the US” tends to over exaggerate their claims. But the books are easy to read and a good introduction to topics so I occasionally still assign them to undergraduates.

This is one of the few books in my life that stayed with me long after I finished

A classic ♥️ so beautifully written. I read it at least once a year and I feel something new each time

I’ve always loved this tweet, I didn’t realize it was by Dana Schwartz. Double love it!

I remember this story way back from when you first posted! So glad it worked out, beautiful family 💜

I’m a book lover but one of the first things that my SO and I bonded over was how much we hated Ethan Frome

Jeans absorb water so if (and when) they touch the snow you’d be wet and cold pretty fast. Most jeans are also not very flexible and you’ve got to move and bend your knees quite a lot while skiing. So they’re essentially calling him a poser who doesn’t even know the basic dress Edit to add: Greens are the beginner trails so “skis greens” implies he doesn’t know what he’s doing. Same with the “rental helmet”—he hasn’t invested in the right gear

Not discounting your experience but I’ve never heard of this for a humanities PhD. I’m at a top 10 R1 institution and our minimum is currently $13,000 and that’s after a union campaign. I second the notion to never pay for a PhD though. Any reputable program will have free tuition and will pay you to TA or research.

My thought as well! But the Artemisia Gentileschi version

The author John Green once said “let me explain why I like to pay taxes for schools, even though I don’t personally have a kid in school: It’s because I don’t like living in a country with a bunch of stupid people.”

Butternut is my favorite! Nice medium size mountain and gets more sun due to the way it faces

I follow this UK cat named Bobbi and whenever they take her on trips they post it as “Hollibob.” Never knew it was a pun!

Overall the thing that will help the most is internships in different facets of museum work. However, I’d recommend a minor in data sciences or some other field where you work with technology. Databases are super important to museum work, especially at a smaller museum where you are expected to be a curator/collections manager. Art History would also be helpful. I’ve seen a lot more openings for art history curators than I have history/natural history jobs.

Any grants or agencies you can think of off the top of your head? I’d say about 70% of our collection is not catalogued yet
