Obligatory introduction.
I am a recovered academic who now enjoys life working in a museum. Historian of the 20th Century U.S. with emphasis on human rights. I frequently respond to things with movie/tv quotes. I'll try to refrain, but no promises.

"Leadership" is far to often associated with extroversion. Leadership can be quiet, can be from the bottom up, and can simply not be seeking to be noticed. Maybe our metrics for deciding who has leadership skills are skewed.

2 Threaded Spouts
I'm thinking about the amazing creative intellectual energy that came from hanging out in offices or at the pub in grad school. I honestly think most conferences hope to recapture that, but they end up just being sad little games of who is the bestest. We should institute a summer camp model.

Lately, every time I open this app, all I see are threads about someone else's poor behavior. Whatever the offense, it's been removed by the time I open the app but the rage machine is still in overdrive. It's exhausting.

Per usual, I open the app to find something has happened and it's too hard to trace back to what's going on. I can't figure out how to do this app effectively without being on all the time, and that's a hard no. So I spout into the void.

I realized today that a big part of my inner monologue is just quotes from movies, especially kids' movies I watched with mine as they were growing. I'm really not sure what that says about me

John Roberts is a terrible Chief Justice, and I don't think that gets enough attention. He's hidden behind his more outrageous colleagues. But it's his court. He is co-signing it all.

The Confederacy decided they no longer wanted to be 🇺🇸, seceded and raised their weapons.
The modern day Republican Party are doing the same thing. It's "Civil War" without muskets.
However, they have the same goal. To uphold white supremacy & destroy all who impede them.

Every time I hear that "dems aren't fighters" and need to learn to fight back, I send links to videos of Jared Moskowitz, Jasmine Crocker, Eric Swalwell, Jamie Raskin and a handful of others.
SO rare that this stuff makes it onto main stream news. But let a MAGA fool make a false claim...

True.
But it goes further than that. Presidential campaigns need LOTS of $$$. History reveals that 3rd party candidates have no chance of winning - ZERO.
So who funds them? They are always funded by special interests trying to siphon votes from legitimate contenders.
Never, NEVER vote 3rd party.

Crunchiness has different textures, so no, a carrot is not a substitute for a chip. Chips have a crisp crunch and carrots do not.

Publishers (esp. UPs), for the love of all things, I am begging you to give us the TOC alongside your summary.
Or, let us in museum world get desk copies as well.
I just need to know what is in it. Feels obvious.

As part of my job, I have to schedule speakers. I strive for an equitable balance, but I constantly run into the problem that men say yes far more than women do. And, I get why. But I need more yeses. How do we create space for that?

Whenever someone says [insert name of public institution] should be run like a business, what they mean (and hope you don't notice) is that someone (probably not you) should _profit_ from it.
