Every once in a while, I still think about this scene from the King of the Hill reboot, which was fantastic. And that comes from someone who grew up with the show.
"It's nice to be nice." Such a simple and effective message.
If you are able, I'd really appreciate if you could ask your library (local &/or university) to buy a copy of my book.
I stand by it being Open Access; everyone should have access to education and scholarship.
But I am also unemployed, so any copies sold really do help a lot! Please consider it!

But as I write in my new Considering History column, this painful moment also opens up space for us to reframe the holiday as something different & more meaningful: a commemoration & celebration of the more than a century-long movement for farm & migrant worikers' rights. @kimkelly.bsky.social 🗃️

Before the first Sunday Night Baseball of 2026, learn about the inspiring history of Japanese American baseball through this thread & the First Inning of my podcast’s second season!
This @cnn.com film looks compelling, & like a great way to reframe the story of this current generation of Japanese MLB superstars. But there's a lot more to the story, as my new podcast season highlights & as I wanted to say a bit about here. 🗃️
