Huge news! .Renty and Delia were enslaved by Columbia SC's B.F. Taylor. Their pictures were taken to support scientific racism.
A judge has ordered Harvard University to relinquish photographs of Renty Taylor and his daughter, the earliest known images of enslaved people in the US, ending Taylor's great-great-great granddaughter’s quest to regain possession of the daguerreotypes.

Oh come ON don't make me agree with Piers Morgan that's how you know we're doomed.
The only winner from today’s Oval Office debacle is Vladimir Putin… and anyone who thinks that is a good thing for the world is stunningly deluded.

Does anyone have a Google Pixel whose photos/videos are taking up a TON of storage? Apparently a year's worth has taken up all of my Google Photos storage which seems like a ploy to make me pay more. Deleting any media from before that (on my old pixel) doesn't save any space.

I'm in The American Historian this month, woo! Talking about ideologies and the Confederacy. The goal was to make a short, accessible primer on the mind of the southern enslaver for students & non-Civil War specialists.
