- After 5 years, 1 global pandemic, countless hours in the archives, 1 wedding, 2 house moves and 1 baby Margot, I have graduated! 🎉 So grateful for everyone who helped me along the way, but especially @civsoc.bsky.social whose kindness and generosity made my thesis possible. Thank you! #phd #history
