Pretty crazy how important the blockade of a trade route is right now
Headed to you this Halloween (or thereabouts). 😈
This just seems like a lawsuit waiting to happen.
Basketball players, notably, move very fast and must maintain balance.

I just keep this slide up after we get through the primary sources:

Agreed.
The graveside service today was beautiful.
Thank you, from the bottom of my heart, to those who reached out, shared, donated, sent well wishes, and more.
There’s a gofundme to help pay for funeral and headstone costs, keeping her blog alive and functional, and to support the Ardis E. Parshall Award at the Mormon History Association. Consider donating?

Among the many tributes to patron saint of Mormon archival digging & public historian extraordinaire, Ardis Parshall (@keepapitchinin.bsky.social), I'm glad @smbrnsn.bsky.social highlighted her endless generosity in feeding obscure archival finds to others... 1/4

This is going to be a new policy/enforcement nightmare for professors.
But what breaks my heart is the way it entrenches (and profits from) the idea that students and professors are locked in some sort of zero-sum adversarial relationship.
The Mormon history world lost one of our absolute best recently. Ardis Parshall was a dogged researcher--one of the best the LDS tradition ever produced--and a fiercely loyal friend. She influenced so much, and her legacy should prompt us to be even better. www.sltrib.com/religion/202...
Huron Perkins, born on Christmas Day in 1908, descended from Black Mormon pioneers on both sides of his family tree. His paternal grandparents (Frank and Esther Perkins) and maternal great-grandparents (Green and Martha Flake) had each traveled to the Great Basin enslaved.
Finally watching del Toro's Frankenstein and I gotta say, this has really put me off harvesting body parts and assembling them into a man and reanimating him with electricity.
The untold story of what Rony Seikaly did for Magic Johnson, behind closed doors, is incredible.
And the reason why Seikaly decided to do it — which he discusses on PTFO, with @foster.bsky.social, for the first time — is even more powerful.
Especially today: youtu.be/xdZvVMgSzTw?...
I love this advice:
Always volunteer to draft policy and other noxious documents. No one wants to write policy documents or other difficult and/or boring documents. However, the individual who creates the draft, thinks most deeply on the subject, does the most research, and has the most influence.
