@herberthistory.bsky.social PinnedAlright, I'm back from fire detail so let's light this up! Welcome to Historians At The Movies! Tonight we are talking crime capers with THE USUAL SUSPECTS on Prime Video at 8pm eastern. And please, NO SPOILERS ON THIS. #HATM 1/
@herberthistory.bsky.socialAnd there this was, just waiting for me. Figured I HAD to buy it today. Like something--someone--was telling me to buy it and buy it now. I swear this place is trying to turn me into a Western historian whether I like it or not. 2/2
@herberthistory.bsky.social🧵Ever feel compelled to buy a book? I've been saying for two weeks that I really need to double down on my Arapaho history. So I'm walking around Laramie (Arapaho country, among others) into this cute old bookstore & I'm ready to leave and then I see a little room marked The West over the entrance.
@herberthistory.bsky.socialBut i don't wanna learn things
@herberthistory.bsky.socialTFW one of your besties ( @phdrachel.bsky.social ) is a suffrage historian so now you have to go learn lady history
@herberthistory.bsky.socialYou also have my tortoises
@herberthistory.bsky.socialDeal.
@herberthistory.bsky.socialThat's definitely happening tomorrow night.
@herberthistory.bsky.socialIts 75⁰ in WYOMING in OCTOBER and I'm wearing a sweater because I'm pretending to be an academic this weekend and I am DYING. Send help.
@herberthistory.bsky.socialLook, most hotel gyms aren't great. Don't use that as an excuse. Go in there & get creative. Find something new. Move your body. Besides, those gyms are usually empty. Embrace it. Try the exercise you've been scared to do. Get inventive. Don't waste the opportunities that a crappy hotel gym offers.
@herberthistory.bsky.socialHere it is- the second in my Behind the Book series, where I talk about the resource that made Black freedom in Florida possible. Check it out below.

@herberthistory.bsky.socialI can't tell you how lovely it is not to be part of that racket anymore.

@herberthistory.bsky.socialPleased to announce that I have learned my third word in Arapaho. I'll get there.
@herberthistory.bsky.socialThank you Naomi!
@herberthistory.bsky.socialThis week’s Historians At The Movies pick is CANDYMAN (1992). Behind the horror: racial violence, Chicago’s public housing, and the stories a city tells about whose lives matter.

@herberthistory.bsky.socialGot this weird text from someone claiming to represent someone who is trying to trademark Historians At The Movies for themselves. Don't know if it is legit or just phishing. Weird.
@herberthistory.bsky.socialDude. That's my home.
