I love getting proofs of my papers. Legit one the most accomplished feelings comes when those arrive. Publication day, sure. But dang do I love Proof-Day.

I think my “Holocaust: History & Memory” class is complete — syllabus, BlackBoard filled out with readings, etc. Just going to put in survivor testimonies throughout the semester and add some “for further reading” articles & primary sources.

So, if you have any fascinating sources, let me know!

I wasn’t expecting to like this one as much as I have been — a questionable narrator in a stream of consciousness, with a bit or problematic thrown in to the mix. It’s heavy hitting and hopeful and light at the same time. It’s not perfect, but it’s been a good read so far. #Mosquitoland #CurrentlyReading @bookstodon

I just finished reading #TheHopefulOnes by Jennifer Close and while it’s not a great book by any means (I LOVED #GirlsInWhiteDresses and feel very let down by this one) — it has me all up in my feels.

Look. I’m trying to figure out these socials and where I want to be and what I want out of them now that The Tweets are finally sinking in a way that seems unsustainable. So I’m here, but I’m also this handle on BleuSky, Threads, IG, and that’s it for now.
Just saw a Rum Runner (drink) on the rocks called a “Ship Wreck” and … I am HERE for this Florida Keys pun.
I recently started cycling (as a gym class, think SoulCycle, but a smaller brand) for my mental health and … I’m not sold on it. I love group fitness— grew up as an athlete, love working out and training with others. But a nightclub on a bike? Problem is I fee pretty dang good after…

Hey #histodons friends! I have a former student who is planning an art project based on the Parisian Salons & wants more historical sources. iIt’s a bit out of my area, so if you know any accessible articles? I’ll def share her work (if permitted) once it’s done!

2023 has been off to a rough start for me in terms of reading for fun — I think I’ve finished 1.5 books so far and just want to read more! #Bookstodon
