Snowflake Challenge-Day Five

[thehallway]

So today's challenge is this: In your own space, promote three communities, challenges, blogs, pages, Twitters, Tumblrs or platforms and explain why you love them. Leave a comment in this post saying you did it. Include a link to your post if you feel comfortable doing so. As a public school educator, a secondary social studies teacher, I've had no choice but to become more political as my career progressed and as certain policies became enacted even in view of the fact that historically speaking and in terms of benefits to students these policies were anathema in the classroom. So my choices today are made in that vein since my fandom choices are eclectic and all over the place. So, in now particular order here are my choices.

historychappy
Because he is the first and maybe the best history ideas and resources guy I know and he makes me a better history teacher.
Scott Dworkin
He wrote Proof of Collusion and if you want to keep a running tag on the unfolding drama in Washington and how it affects us, there is no better twitter feed to follow.
Sarah Kendzior
An authority on the rise of authoritarianism and autocrats, Sarah is bright and articulate about what is going on in the body politic and what that means for us. She also hosts a podcast called Gaslit Nation.
George Takei
Just because he is a national treasure.
