#introduction post?
I'm Dan.
I don't generally do social media.
And yet here I am.
Trying out this Fedi thing,
excited to have a space where I can just be myself.
I am soliciting you, dear readers, for the names of historians who study Soviet history textbooks and Soviet classroom curricula. I’d like to talk to one or some of them about the new Medinsky uchebnik.
Are you an Indigenous writer? Are you an enrolled member of a tribal community within Minnesota? Then you're eligible for the Reclaiming Mni Sota Indigenous Writers Grant.
In conjunction with his forthcoming novel Reclaiming Mni Sota, author Colin Mustful and his press, History Through Fiction, will award one Indigenous writer a $10,000 grant to pursue the advancement of their creative writing projects, education, and career.

From your list, I've only read "Shuggie Bain". I enjoyed it a great deal.
Currently, I"m in the middle of "Tom Jones", by Henry Fielding. I guess it's a book that I will be only able to read during vacation, since it's quite long and I don't think it is suitable for intermitent reading.
What do you think, is there such thing as "read-only-on-vacation" books? #llibres#books#bookstodon@bookstodon
Hey, I'm so honored to be here with the cool crew on the Beige Party Boat!
I'm not allowed to follow any more people until after 8PM, says whomever's dad is in charge of that kind of thing.
As a little intro, for those who don't know me: I am an avid reader and reviewer of mostly fiction. I really do love to learn about anything, so hit me with your area of interest/expertise. I love all the arts. I am a champion of democracy, rights and equity for all. I will post about politics, but also about my dog Baxter, my wife J, and odd happenings in my neighborhood, etc.
Every Tuesday, I post a curated list of new book releases which I believe bear consideration.

Is there a hashtag you use for your Tuesday lists? I'm curious but having trouble finding it. (Sorry...my available minutes to scroll waaaay back are ridiculously limited lately.)
Toevallig zei ik voor de vakantie tegen m'n man dat het lang geleden was dat een film of boek me echt geraakt had. Nu ik 't Hooge Nest een paar dagen uit heb kan ik zeggen dat die periode voorbij is. Wat een verhaal. Ik blijf nadenken over hoe geleidelijk het allemaal leek te gaan en waar het eindigde. En ik zie zoveel parallellen met nu #WorldWar2#THoogeNest@boeken
I have two children diagnosed years ago as being on the Spectrum. My partner has suggested I am probably undiagnosed. I feel like it may explain some things.
So some questions:
Does anyone know that there is a hereditary link?
For those who've been tested later in life, I am late 50s, how has it affected you to know? Interested in both confirmed and negative test experiences.
The #RomanceForMaui auction is live, until 3pm EDT on Monday August 21; the original goal was a humble $5K, but the current total is siting just shy of $62K, with 281 items on offer.
@neilhimself you know what else is magic?
Getting in your climate controlled coach, driving to somewhere 40 miles away and arriving about a half hour later, and all the while you listened to a symphony played by a 100 piece orchestra.
I admit it's not as magical as being moved by words written someone 1000s of miles away or centuries in the past, but it is pretty damn good nonetheless.
Here is a statement from a West Virginia Linguistics professor whose entire department has been eliminated. It provides additional context to the Provost's decision to cancel 38 majors and the tenure and untenured faculty lines associated with them.
@ChrisPirillo #1, also with the modification of Kraft superiority. No way would an Atari stick work as well for games needing either precision movement or that crazy back and forth that Epyx Olympic games required.
