I get a lot of emails from scam journals, and sometimes spotting them is tough. Could you spot one if they contacted you? This video walks through the process I use to spot predatory journals so you don't get scammed

Wow, extremely rare footage of the Japanese bombing of Pearl Harbor
Because the bombing of Pearl Harbor was a surprise, there is very little American footage of the attack itself. This film captures about three minutes of the attack and its aftermath. #PearlHarbor78

Too many people seem to think if the American Founders were plopped in 2019, they’d come up with some amazing insight that would solve all our problems rather than spending all their time thinking “What the fuck are those shiny things in the sky?”
Kinda wild that a crappy video I shot with a phone has over 2,300 views (and comments about me doing the workouts wrong - missing the “trying” part, but I appreciate constructive criticism)

Decided to start a book about Iran-Contra for no particular reason whatsoever #history

I’d definitely recommend it. One thing my past students have enjoyed is when I upload my “50 great books in American history” list to Blackboard, if they want some suggestions (this isn’t a constant list, it’s always changing)

Wow, it's been a MINUTE since I made a #gradschool post!
Let's correct that with an article about money! How did you make extra cash in grad school? With this post, I share some side hustles I've tried that worked for me
