gonna do a thread of the books i read this year: really enjoyed this one! by taking such a zoomed in approach to 1658-60 and depicting events at the pace people lived through them, it quite convincingly argues that the republic's fall was far from inevitable, even after cromwell's death

We taught this political expert to understand the politics of the median New England voter and he hanged himself

3 yrs ago, Maine suffered one of the deadliest mass shootings in American history. 18 people lost their lives. A city was shaken to its core. For all of Maine—and especially for the families whose hearts were shattered by the loss of a loved one—it’s a tragedy that will never be forgotten.

Growing up in the St. John Valley, French heritage was all around me. But so was a long history of animosity toward French people and the French language...

i'm tired of pretending Lincoln isn't a top 5 Spielberg

i love how our monday morning staff meetings become increasingly frenetic and silly the closer we get to election day

getting glimpses of the carrie show from walking past it as my partner watches it, and they've got an anti-bullying protest chanting "death to [bully's name]." i can see why she says its not very good

AOC's energy right now seems very "ugh I don't really want the next decade of my life to be consumed by being the president but :/ strange women in ponds are throwing swords at me and idk if you can just ignore that"
