Happy Easter to all who celebrate!
No #davescaridservice today, but I'd like to announce that I'm working on a little project involving it. In short, a series of books. Each book will be somewhat brief, 80-100 pages, with a central theme: Flappers, Weddings, Immigrants, WW2 GIs, WW1 Doughboys, Femmes Fatale, Beefcake, Farm Life, Fashion Plates, Bonnies & Clydes, etc., etc.
The contents of each volume will 100% come from reader submissions - nothing pilfered from copyrighted material, no historic archives - along with whatever prose I can provide to wrap it all together. If I've ID'd a family photo for you previously, and you'd rather I'd not use it for this purpose, please let me know in the replies and I will honor that. I will do what I can to reach out for specific permission on photos I choose for the project; while I can't pay you for them, I will provide attribution and a special discount if/when the volumes become available.
The end goal is a growing list of volumes, each touching on an an aspect of 20th Century life in America and elsewhere. I'm also hoping it will be beautiful, and am working with a dear friend in Chicago who is a terrific professional illustrator and book designer. I don't have a specific deadline, but hoping to have the first 5 volumes available by late 2025.
Incidentally I've had a bit of interest of this from a publisher friend, but no contract as such. If you are in the book biz and want to discuss, let me know in the replies and I'll open my DMs to you.
So she's a Lemgruber from Brazil you say?
Is there a rotting carcass of an old car in a desert, forest, abandoned amusement park or insane asylum near you? I DARE YOU to take a photo and post it with the secret word davescaridservice for me to ID during my big Halloween Scrapyard of Horrors episode this weekend!
Dear @iowahawkblog
Gruesome car remains hidden deep within Maybury State Park in Northville Township, MI. Fun Fact: From 1919-1969 the land was home to the Maybury Sanatorium - a tuberculosis sanatorium.

"Where do I begin? My father was a relentlessly self-improving roofer from Tuscaloosa with low-grade narcolepsy and a penchant for houndstooth. My mother was a fifteen-year-old Florida lot lizard named Destinee with webbed feet. My father would womanize, he would drink. He would make outrageous claims, like "they ain't played nobody Pawl." My childhood was typical: summers in Auburn, Omaha drills. In the spring, we'd make meat helmets. When I was insolent, I was placed in a burlap bag and beaten with marching band clarinets; pretty standard, really. It's breathtaking; I suggest you try it."

An obvious AI generated attempt at character assassination. I demand a retraction, because it’s a well known fact @3YearLetterman was born in Canada
BREAKING 🚨: After a 6-month investigation, I can confirm @3YearLetterman, self-proclaimed "Die-hard Georgia Fan," was NOT born in Georgia.
I have irrefutable proof that Letterman was born in none other than...ALABAMA.
Exhibit A is Letterman's real birth certificate from Dothan, Alabama, with personal details redacted. Exhibit B is the forgery that has covered it up for thirty years.
Eyewitnesses, confessions, and a lawyer's statement to follow. 🧵
