On this #TransDayOfVisibility I affirm that trans rights are human rights, gender-affirming care is life-changing and life-saving, and that trans people always have been and always will be a part of the LGBTQ+ community. My trans siblings, I see you and I have your backs to the best of my ability. 🏳️‍⚧️

I started covering this last year, and I can't overstate how important this is: the Trump administration officially labeled some of the most commonly-used forms of birth control as 'abortion' jessica.substack.com/i/173447780/...

Ah, just a girl and her municipal building permits index from the 1890s 😍 #heritage #research

First archives & site visit at New Job today! I looked at some ledgers from the 1890s, & then visited the property to photograph it. And tried a new coffee shop! 🎉✨️ #archive #heritage

If there's an item taken from your country in the English museum that you're visiting you should get to enter for free (over 6000 Irish items in the British Museum alone btw)

Heads up friends, I got a call today claiming to be my bank's fraud dept, telling me that they had detected someone trying to access my account from a different province. It sounded very convincing, but I am extremely suspicious of 'bank' calls after later year so my hackles were up. 1/

The amount of times I have stress dreams about missing a class & not being able to catch up before a final is HIGh. I have my doctorate!!! Ahhh!!

OH MY HEART...the Oberlin Luddites Reject "The Year of AI Exploration"! 💚

Working in my first historic property report for New Job & getting ready for a small site visit on Friday! Is the site near a cafe I haven't tried yet? Maybe 👀

This is a great list of techniques for getting real information out of a Google search and avoiding AI slop and paid results. (One thing not included is that if you add "-ai" to a search, you block the AI summary) cardcatalogforlife.substack.com/p/google-has...

Update: Richard 3's wife Eleanor (also no 3), used her legal name in documents...giving her the exact same initials as her husband 🫠

First property research project at New Job & I'm activity losing my mind. Why is every son in this family named the same thing...and all married women with the Same Name?!? 😵‍💫😵‍💫 #heritage

Back to New Job today after 12 days away doing an exhibition planning course! In other news, my cat stepped on my face in the middle of the night, her foot slipped, & a claw caught the inside of my lip. So that was a fun way to wake up at 4am.

you see the lip sync battle, you repost the lip sync battle, that’s just the rule ☔️

I’ve been photographing anti-ICE and related yard/window/tree/street signs around Minneapolis. The variety of commercial and especially handmade signs is amazing, as is the urge for people to let their neighbors know they care and are furious in ways big and small. Batch #7

On March 9, 2022: Stolen notebooks belonging to naturalist #CharlesDarwin, including his famous 'tree of life' sketch, mysteriously returned after 22 years to Cambridge University Library.

I'm at a museum exhibition planning course this week at the school where my parents went for their undergrad! I wanted to go too, but they don't have an archaeology department so I did mine at Calgary. It's so cool to be here for a class now!! #museums #exhibit

I helped edit this super cool story of a dude from India who wrote his name on Egyptian tombs 2,000 years ago! 🏺🧪

4 days into my new job & I'm doing my favourite thing tomorrow...peacing for 10 days! I'm taking a week long intensive course on museum exhibition planning & design, & also fulfilling a lifelong goal of attending UVic (at least for a week)! ✌️ #heritage

Well, I didn't get a SSHRC Postdoc. This was my 3rd attempt & I scored very well, but 81.3% of applicants did not get funded this year. It was my last attempt allowed for SSHRC but on the bright site, I don't have to figure out how to do my new job & a postdoc together? Still sucks #academia

I dust my house. My AI robot watches. "It should be you doing this." "Can't. I'm writing a novel for Primark." "That's not why you were invented." "These 153,000 fan letters say otherwise." "They're all from upcycled toasters. And you programmed them." "Literary snobbery will get you nowhere."

My book has a cover! IN LATIN AMERICA YOU COULD BE FREE: AN AFRICAN AMERICAN HISTORY tells the story of the place and promise of Latin America in the political imagination of African Americans and of their movements to the region in the antebellum period. Out on Basic Books, November 11, 2026! 🥳

First day of my new job! It was mostly getting lost in the office, meeting coworkers, getting coffee, and fighting with the new laptop to get it set up. Not a bad start!

1 week left to submit paper proposals! We welcome proposals examining the role of visual and material culture in challenging, reinforcing and subverting the notion of ‘British‘ from medieval to present day, exploring art from Britain, Ireland and former colonial territories. CFP closes 9 March

The thing about the U.S. and Israel is that both of their leaders are trying to stay out of prison.

Please enjoy these photos of my cats, who were not impressed to be in the car for 12 hrs yesterday! #moving #catsofbluesky

Normalize saying Men's sports. If we say like hockey and women's hockey, then the other one should be men's, not just as the default. Watching the Olympics is great for this, lets keep it going!

Guys, one of the most iconic properties in St. John's is at risk of becoming condos that no one from here can ever afford. Also it's a heritsge property. Please help us save it 🙏 #yyt #nfld www.change.org/p/help-save-...

Haaaaahahaha I ❤️ Jersey

I'm selling a few things on FB marketplace for the move, and people are so rude?? Someone messaged me just 'Address' on one of the items. Like what is that, sir??

The damage to Canadian science hasn't been seen since Harper and is going much quieter this time. Cuts to ECCC, DFO, NRCan, NRC...

My first time leaving the house since Tuesday (snow storm) has been up the road to the closest cafe to read & eat gf cake 💁‍♀️

Oh nO. @mark-carney.bsky.social this is a huge blow to Canadian heritage, and a huge mistake.

Author copies of ‘Fairies: A History’ have arrived! Publication date in the UK is 20 March www.politybooks.com/bookdetail?b... 📚🧚

*and Newfoundlanders!!

Watched Predator: Badlands tonight & it was amazing! The only other one I've seen was Prey & we loved them both! 👏👏

Folded and booked movers to help us unload the uhaul when we get to the new apartment. I can't risk wrecking my knee with heavy stuff, friends work in th3 day, & my husband can't do it alone! 🫡

Reposting so I remember to hunt this book down! :0

This is so cool! I hope there is some recognition for our girl Jane too!

Does anyone know of any articles focussed on the issue of public access to museum collections databases and AI? I’ve got some concerns as we work towards launching a public portal. OR if you work at a museum and some of your collection is available online, what are you doing about it? #museums

Bluesky is the new science Twitter, new study by @whysharksmatter.bsky.social and Julia Wester concludes! "Results show that for every reported professional benefit that scientists once gained from Twitter, scientists can now gain that benefit more effectively on Bluesky than on Twitter."
