I think it was initially two grad students who spearheaded the effort, so I'm not sure how updated it is at this point.

I thought I’d go to AHA as an excuse to visit Chicago and see friends. However, it’s expensive, plus I’m worried about ICE activity at the conference. I‘m on social media less than I used to be and wondered if I missed something. Tagging @nellstra.bsky.social because he knows everyone

The world might be on fire, but at least it was milkshake day in the cafeteria.

I am soooo excited for #AASLH25! I've been wanting to go to this conference for a while. While I'm excited to learn from all the panelists, the tours and events look great, too.

Freshmen move-in day is one of my favorite days. Incredibly nostalgic and joyful!

Editing chapter on Cabrini and like, duh, Chicago would have link to the first American pope--they already have a link to the first American saint!

Received the official Fulbright Hayes defunding notice today. Knew it was coming but still sucks (among everything else).

Dr. Carla Hayden is a trailblazer who spent her tenure working to make the Library of Congress accessible to all Americans.

It’s no surprise this callous President fired our nation’s librarian. Another attempt to shut our country out from history, progress, and learning.

John McGreevy on the new pope, via WaPo:

It appears they're already preparing celebrations downtown

The real question that everyone is asking: If the new pope is from Chicago, has he ever tried Malort?

Classes are over. I have made the annual bookstore stop, acquired mindless, fluffy books, and am now enjoying a story with a glass of wine (plus 1 cuddly gray cat).

At the end of class every semester I hit a bookstore and the thought of piles of new books to flip through on Friday evening is sustaining me through the final week

What It Means to Tell the Truth About America And what happens when empirical fact is labeled “improper ideology”

“Attempting to strip the institution of the stories that tell the truth about who we have been is an attempt to perpetuate a lie about who we are.”

Wild day to return to social media post-Easter.

We’ll be back after Lent

Spending the first weekday of spring break getting caught up on my massive history TBR stack

Spring break in 8 hours 🥳

Real life isn't the West Wing unless it's the president arbitrarily deciding to do away with pennies

“Huddling is a metaphor for our history” - 🥴 I hate this Super Bowl commercial

Adding to my TBR

Rough week to return to the US after a family wedding
