My proposal “Rum, Intelligence, and Informal Networks: How Caribbean Taverns Facilitated
Cross-National Intelligence Exchange in the Colonial Atlantic World, 1650–1750” was accepted for the 2026 National Intelligence History Conference at Bletchley Park. 🍻

I published a National Geographic bookazine thanks to Twitter.

Millennials turn to alternative homebuilding methods.

My editor and I decided to push my book release to next year, which just gives me that much more time to conduct research at all the bars, taverns, and public drinking spaces of Virginia 😂

One time—ONE TIME—I accidentally said “terminator elevator” instead of “terminal elevator” and my spouse can say it no other way whenever we’re at an airport.

Full book jacket just dropped, and we're pretty happy with it. Huge thanks to @cecilefromont.bsky.social, @soccerpolitics.bsky.social, Alice, and Andrés for your generous words! #earlymodern #BeyondTheOcean global.oup.com/academic/pro...

If I had more than a handful of strands, I might not be as bored with my current hair lol

As there seems to be some confusion, I do not have a full head of gray hair. As you can see from my profile pic, it’s still quite dark. But in person you can see that a handful of grays have come in throughout the crown of my head. I appreciate the helpful suggestions!

I have a great stylist who is very honest about what will or won’t work for my hair 🤷🏻‍♀️ as someone with super fine hair, there aren’t a lot of cuts that work for me.

I love my hair. I’m just bored with it lol

I spent decades dying my hair. A couple of years ago, I decided to let my natural color grow out & embrace the grays coming in. Last year, I trimmed off the last of the remaining dyed hair. While I love not having the upkeep of dyed hair, I need a change & am considering dyeing it again. HALP 😂🫣

On the one hand, I appreciate that my recent bout of ADHD hyper focus enabled me to add nearly 9,000 words to my book draft in 2 days. On the other hand, I’m dehydrated, my neck is stiff, and my head is absolutely killing me. 0/10. Do not recommend. ☠️

After taking an (unwelcome) hiatus from my forthcoming boom about the history of Virginia’s taverns, inns, & public houses, I finally dove back in and added over 3,000 words today.

My brain is mush. Please clap. ☠️

Do you like pirate history? If you buy one of my books, DM me and I’ll send you a free signed bookplate sticker 🏴‍☠️🫶🏻

If you need me before April, no you don’t. 💀 2 classes, 2 conferences, a work chapter, teaching, a book review, a GAS client, my mom visiting, a short-term research fellowship, etc. all in the March. Whyyyyyyy?! 😂

Thank you! I *love* Nia Vardalos!

So, I used it as part of my response and some guy tried to shame me for it, laughing about how “only shallow chicks watch movies like that.” No idea where he is now. But fuck that guy. (2/2)

Remembering this one time in grad school we were discussing something in a class that made me think of the My Big Fat Greek Wedding quote “The man is the head, but the woman is the neck. And she can turn the head any way she wants.” (1/2)

I still have a job, but the continued decimation of the federal government has me worried.

Ok. Who wants to hire a badass pirate historian? 🥺

My proposal for the Military History Consortium conference in France was accepted! BUT it’s during one of the weeks I have to be in Oklahoma for the DCELP I was accepted into. 😭
