#NavalHistory people! Help! Our local museum has a life raft we're trying to research. Does anyone know anything about it? It is triangular, and is stamped with a 1940 date.
That’s what I wanted to be until a very bad experience with a therapist in high school 😂
I’m so glad!!!

Who is a woman who’s made an impact on your career? #IWD26
Dr. Sheila R. Phipps, my mentor at App State (History Department), who convinced this first-gen student to pursue a PhD and helped me through every step of the application process. Without her, I wouldn’t be the historian I am today. 🫶🏻

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...
Going out tonight 💕💋
Tell them T. Paine is judging them
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
