- My department is hiring in World History! www.jobs.virginia.gov/jobs/nsuf023...
- Home and straight into the classroom this morning. Of course the textbook integration into Blackboard is broken and I’m losing my voice.
- Heading home with sore feet and knees from all the walking and dancing yesterday! It was good to catch up with friends and meet new folks. I haven’t been to a conference when I wasn’t working it in quite a while and it was nice.

- Isn’t she pretty! I contributed an essay to this collection and the other essays are fantastic!
- Does anyone at #aha26 know if there is coffee anywhere in Palmer?

- Reposted by Stephanie RichmondWeird to be commemorating the 250th anniversary of the Am Rev while living under a government that has a) sent armed troops to occupy cities perceived to be too rebellious, b) rendered largely irrelevant the representative branch of government, and c) claimed imperial right to rule other countries.
- Sitting in a panel on antislavery at #aha26 and the (all white) presenters haven’t mentioned a single Black person in their papers. Why are we still here in 2026?

- Finally at #AHA26 after a long wait on the tarmac to deplane. I’m chairing an awesome panel tomorrow on women and well being where panelists explore love, marriage and dress reform.
- New publication!
- The world is on fire and I just cannot any more.
- Stopped for lunch on the way to work and sat and watched a navy ship being towed to the repair docks. This was the site of docks for the domestic slave trade and enslaved workers labored in the Navy Yard across the river. The Elizabeth River is stained with the blood of black and brown folks.
- Reposted by Stephanie RichmondYou can't teach U.S. history without "divisive" narratives. Slavery wasn't "unifying." The Japanese incarceration wasn't "unifying." The anti-immigrant Operation Wetback (real name) wasn't "unifying." It's history's job to tell the truth, not cover up past racism to pave the way for future racism.

- Worked on syllabi and managed to break Blackboard as per usual. Giving up for the day.
- Back to school shopping included some new dog toys. Dino has a new best friend.
- Just had one of those moments where you are sitting at a coffee shop and snippets of the conversation next to you filter through your concentration and you have the knee jerk reaction to tell the woman sitting there to run. #redflag
- It will hurt non elite schools more than elite ones, endowments will protect the survival of the Ivies and other R1s.

- Picked the first actual harvest of figs from my trees! The squirrels got to some but it’s enough for a jar of jam!
- Everytime I read another news piece on deportation, Alligator Alley or families being torn apart they ring in awful similarity to the stories I’m uncovering from the domestic slave trade. Just transcribed the record of the sale of three little boys between 5 and 12 years old. No mention of parents.
- Things no one tells you about doing digital history: your eyes are permanently exhausted from staring at screens and doing data entry/QA.

- I’m spending my week at music camp and it’s a good reminder about how humbling learning new skills is. Nothing like being back in the student seat to remind you that learning is exhausting even when it is fun.
