There is a new biography on george albert smith, the lds prophet, who spent a lot of his life quite ill--the offical lds discourse is that the illness was physical, and while that may be the case, there is mounting evidence to suggest that there was a severe depression that was operational. It is often true in LDS contexts that the offical discourse around depression is viewed as private, adn the noting of privacy versus closeting is often quite difficult to work through. I have not read the biography yet, but much of the difficult of public versus private is discussed in Mary Ann Wodger's article Cheat the Asylum of a Victim, which can be found in This volume of Mormon History. Must read.(There is also an article about baptising as a kind of faith healing, which is worth reading)

Darren Dochuk's history of Evangelicalism in Southern California is also worth reading. Dochuk's from Perdue, but this AV club review makes it sound like just an important peice of journalism

Great First Nation Parody of a Round Dance Song  It works as music, and works as parody, but you get this idea that 1491 is sort of inside baseball, so what is interesting and amusing for white folks, kills on the reserve.

Sometimes Lomax does really fantastic stuff, like this recording of a Baptizing Scene, from the Donaldson Congregation, in 1959, amusingly sampled by Kanye and Jay Z in Niggas in PAris--I will let someone who knows the politics better to deconstruct the implications

French, Anon, 1890-1910, full bush and the false modesty of elbow over eye.

taking down magaret wente as a self loathing hypocrite is not the worlds most difficult task, but it sure is satisfying.

as someone whose academic career often features historicisng both queerness and blackness, the consistent, well documented, and well funded attempts to delegitmize the studies as playing victim, risks my future liveliehood, so any attempt to  defend the work as nessecary is important.

this house bill manages to combine the usual misogynst bullshit, the usual anti-immigrant bullshit, and the usual apologizing for violence bullshit, in new and exciting ways
