Ach Gott blick in die schöne Natur und beruhige Dein Gemüth über das müssende—die Lieb fordert alles und ganz mit recht, so ist es mir mit Dir, Dir mit mir—nur vergißt Du so leicht, daß ich für mich und für Dich leben muß, wären wir ganz vereinigt, Du würdest dieses schmerzliche eben so wenig wie ich empfinden - O God look into beautiful nature and calm your mind about that which must be—love demands everything and rightfully so, so it is for me with you, for you with me—only you forget so easily that I have to live for me and for you, were we wholly united, you would feel the pain (of it) as little as I

• "The Bear Goes Full Bing Bong" by Freddie deBoer - I disagree with almost all of his points but it's well-argued!

Discovering that an article I created has been translated into another language is the most incredible feeling. Such an honor, such a thrill. Big thanks to all the wonderful translators! I wish I had your magic powers!

Of late I do a lot of settler-colonizer studies, and trying to figure out where American slaves were held and by whomst

I would have liked to say that I was able to resurrect the voices of those who had been enslaved. But writing a historical narrative about the enslaved is complicated because there are multiple layers of silences. There is the fundamental silencing of Indigenous voices in the colonial archives, which privilege those of European officials. And many of the available epic poems or oral histories that have been passed from generation to generation often tell the stories of society's elites—the kings, nobles, warriors, and important religious leaders. Women rarely feature, and the enslaved almost never; they are muted, and the distance of a century reveals only flickering, spectral forms. How do we tell the stories of people that history forgets and the present avoids? I have tried here to uncover a handful of stories about a handful of people. I wish I could have done more.

It has been many years since I read what purported to be Weatherford's speech when he surrendered to Gen. Jackson; but if I recollect right, he was made to say that he would whip the Georgians on one side of the river and make his corn on the other. That was all a lie, and for effect. It reminds me of the report that the Kentuckians ingloriously fled. It is true, a few Kentuckians had arrived in the neighborhood of New Orleans, when the British made their attack. The Kentuckians were without arms—what could they do? All that can be said is, that it is easier to find a fighting man than a magnanimous one.

Despite the efforts to celebrate Jackson as a hero to all—as a mythical figure on par with George Washington—even his most devoted eulogists struggled.

The Mississippi is to [Americans in the West] everything. It is the Hudson, the Delaware, the Potomac and all the navigable rivers of the Atlantic States formed into one stream.

Back in the day I worked at E! Online/Style and added a reference to an eonline story about the death of Michael Jackson, and created a handful of stubs like Isaac. After I retired (LOL) to having kids, as a favor to a friend, I added a bunch of citations to articles at some website she worked at but I honestly can't recall the website name and I don't care to look it up and revisit my shame, and I believe all of those were all reverted in short order. (sorry to whichever editor had to deal with that nonsense.) In 2018 I created the article mg (magazine) as a favor for a friend who had an online publicity gig and I told her I didn't want to be paid but she nonetheless sent me a $20 Starbucks gift card in thanks which I definitely used to buy coffee. I regret it all. I also did plenty of the usual "edit your alma mater" stuff at the beginning, and have contributed photos of places that I frequent in my home region, etc. If there is anything I have neglected to mention it's just because I have a Swiss-cheese brain but I will add it here when I rediscover it or am otherwise reminded of it. I think I've been clean since 2018 and I plan to remain so.

My dad wants to contribute to wikipedia sometimes but has found the climate unwelcoming so sometimes he sends me text w cites or images and tells me where to add them and I do; such edits are summarized as such in edit summary. My FIL has written a lot of books that are cited on Wikipedia (which I know bc he told me), but I haven't ever messed with any of those pages or cites, to my knowledge. Another relative was killed in an act of terrorism but I have not engaged with the article other than reading it (or possibly typo fixes but I don't know how to check for sure). One of my kids has started making minor edits so I think we share an IP address when I'm not logged in. My husband is now on here very occasionally. Not sure if I want to link dad and husband accounts from here but just FYI.
