Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 3d agoBASH: One of the things that's happening is there's a push to start students down a trade school track as early as elementary school. Is that too early? LINDA McMAHON: I don't think so BASH: But elementary school? McMAHON: I think you can have some introduction of skilled trades in elementary
Are we like back to the four humors now? This kids get too much fluid is seriously the level of analysis here? Jesus wept.

That has got to be quite an indication of how Trump is polling in Georgia. I’d love to see what the Ossoff campaign knows.

If the NewBooksNetwork interview is anything to go by, this book is important both for its own topic and for thinking about issues such as gender and representation in other genocides, including Armenia and Palestine. And the OA version is actual in useable formats:

I am still listening to this but the part where @chadgibbs101.bsky.social discusses how the memorial at Treblinka forces the visitor to envision what the camp would have looked like and the way survivors are frequently asked to draw maps during their testimony is so striking

Watching this video from the same man who just stopped the promotion of every woman candidate for admiral does more to demonstrate why we need to fight for women’s and gender studies programs than I ever could.
Ron Filipkowski@ronfilipkowski.bsky.social · last mo.Hegseth now wants taxpayers to pay to give testosterone injections to troops to make them better warfighters.
These are sailors who have already been quantified on every conceivable metric and approved by a promotion board This is pure sex discrimination. It's axiomatic for Hegseth that women aren't worthy so if they get superior scores, it must have been because of DEI.

📢 Once more for the people in the back: - Most [more than 95%] of archives have not been digitized. - Most of humanity's knowledge and memory is *not* reachable by LLMs. - Believing that AI can provid you with comprehensive, definitive, "intelligent" results is folly.

New article on my book in the Times of Israel.
New Treblinka research uncovers forgotten role of women in 1943 death camp revolt
Apart from two female survivors, all testimony about Treblinka came from male inmates. In a new book, historian Chad S.A. Gibbs restores Jewish women's overlooked place in camp resistance

New article this week in The Conversation that takes a brief look at my work to uncover women’s lives and acts in resistance at Treblinka.
80 years later, scholarship is breaking silence on women’s suffering and strength at Treblinka – including their role in its uprising
Topics such as sexual assault have been difficult for survivors and historians to write about, even decades after the war.

It’s here! Finally holding the first copy of my first book. What a feeling.
I stand to learn a lot from this seminar - coming Tuesday! - by Treblinka researchers doing really important work. @jacobflaws.bsky.social @chadgibbs101.bsky.social and Caroline Sturdy Colls.
No book is going to turn kids into someone else. But books will regularly show kids other people like them and show those kids they're not alone. And they'll show kids other types of people who also exist. There is a large proportion of the population who are terrified of this.
