On my Twitter Archive
I was on Twitter for 12 years, with 225K accumulated tweets. Some of those threads have been cited in published scholarly work, so after I deactivated them, I realized I needed to ensure their public availability.
To that end, I've revived my blog (which contains all my posts since 2001).

This was what I wrote about in my #history thesis and today, on the anniversary of the #BattleOfHoseshoeBend, the #MuscogeeCreek tribe is announcing they will be pushing for a permanent memorial. I hope that they are successful! This battle was the end of the tribe and sealed their fate to eventually be sent to #Oklahoma on the #TrailOfTears. It also, through #AndrewJackson’s bad faith treaty, lead to the formation of the state of #Alabama on their stolen land.

De Amerikaanse president Andrew Jackson staat bekend als een racist. Nu blijkt dat AI-software die zijn teksten analyseert, dezelfde conclusie trekt. 🤔 #AI #racisme #AndrewJackson https://futurism.com/the-byte/ai-andrew-jackson-racist
I had a little fun. Turns out AI Andrew Jackson is not very good. He doesn't know his own record and the positions of his contemporaries. #AndrewJackson #BankWar #PoliticalHistory #FinancialHistory #histodons #History

#JohnLewis being honored on a US stamp is well-deserved...
AND, AND, AND can we PLEASE get #HarrietTubman on the damn $20 bill already?!?!?! #RepresentationMatters
PS. To be clear, representation on currency CANNOT begin to repay America's debt to #Black people; only the redistribution & funneling of resources & money into Black communities can. #BLM
PPS. 1 of my favorite things is a self-inking stamp on #Etsy to LEGALLY alter a $20 bill to hide #racist 'ol #AndrewJackson w/ HT. #brilliant
