The specialized language used on museum labels can be confusing! Here’s a tip: sometimes “case in process of installation” means “the Manhattan DA recently seized the looted antiquity from here so 🤷”
You can find us on Bluesky now as well as Instagram.
I need @NEXTSTL to help me scream from the rooftops about the pending demolition permit for the old Bob Cassilly workshop at 2645 Lafayette. I assume they (the hotel next door) waited for ward six to be vacant before they tried to demo and now they’re gonna strike. Helpppppp
Fyi folks we are actively accepting submissions for volume 2!!!
@InformalHistStl is an interesting project because it includes historians, scholars, reputable writers and artsits, and then there's me. My goal in my talk today was to not curse and I made it to the finish line of my short talk without profanity.

Thunderstorms are possible through the day today, with severe thunderstorms possible mainly between Noon and 8PM.
I officially said farewell to #Pittsburgh this weekend. It took 3 separate moves over 4 months, 1,800 miles of driving, 2 Uhauls, and help and support from incredible friends on both the #PGH and #STL sides of the move to get me to this point. I’m so grateful to them.
