Do millennials make lasagna or did we all just agree that’s not a thing we were interested in? I don’t know where else to go with this question.

What is your favorite article-length treatment of faith and learning?
Doing research I found this from Olympia Morata in a letter to her father from the 1540s: “Surely you don’t count me as one of those who think they’re learned because they’ve bought many books?” I didn’t expect to be personally attacked by a teenager from the 16th century today.

Instead of honoring Nathan Bedford Forrest, State of Tennessee, remember this little piece of American history. Not only did the man lead a group of domestic terrorists but he also led a massacre of Black soldiers. history.com/topics/american-…

You may have read recently that fewer and fewer students are majoring in HISTORY. This is a bummer for so many fields, including film. Here are a few examples in which historians have influenced the direction of a film — and, as a result, us. *Teacher voice* NEXT SLIDE.

It feels very appropriate to be reading Barbara Tuchman today on the 30th anniversary of her death. I’m reminded what an incredible author and historian she was and that a PhD does not these things make.
Enjoyed getting to discuss this article from @bethallisonbarr with students to demonstrate how history is both transmitted to a popular object and can inform our understanding of rituals we overlook. patheos.com/blogs/anxiousben…

They were surprisingly outraged at the lack of midwives in our modern nativities. To quote one student, “what if baby Jesus had been breeched?!”
