Just submitted a proposal to be a speaker at #WHFW26. Also working on my essay for the #CNO contest. A productive 36 birthday.

#Research question: Can anyone get me a copy of this article please?

I think America is in an interesting position when it comes to restarting our ship building industry. Either we make an investment in current design as in relation to fuel sources. The other option is to make an investment into find green energy that can be used in building cargo ships. 1/2

Spoiled pups got a new toy to play with in the snow ⛄️ also thank god the ice layer finally melted

Churchill looks dead in this photo 😅 #SleepyKitten

It’s funny that some one that’s named Juan Paul (he’s white is mom thought it sounded French) defending ice. I’m like bro you have a Spanish first name.

When you fall on your arse because your working dogs don’t understand that it’s not really a play fetch kinda day 🤦‍♀️ #RVA #ice #ouch

The ice and snow layer in my car from the recent snow storm in #RVA. It was quite fun to smash on the ground after getting it off my roof #winter.

You can feel the sass in the photo. Sorry for disturbing you my lord. #cats

Don't burn out. Light more things on fire.

Batwings, no batwings. Also I have to say he has the most beautiful eyes. #doggo #LTDan

Thank god for the people on the ground filming these interactions that are allowing citizens to call bullshit on the government lies. Congress needs to cut their funding.

Doing laundry, taking an everything shower and any other mundane tasks since we may lose power tomorrow because of Fern!

Current food fixation, bruschetta. Sadly the Kroger was out of Roma tomatoes so I hade to make do with normal tomatoes.

Happy 4th Birthday to Lt Dan. He got some chicken nuggets, bully stick, and a new stuffed duck.

Took some items to the laundromat that I can’t wash at home. Had to listen to a gentleman explain he hates all “libtards” and that anyone who does support “us” should be locked up. My first that I should keep that same energy for when we have the next democratic president but honestly not worth it

Trying to do better about getting in some sort of movement In each day and this little stair stepper has definitely been worth the 80$. I definitely feel like I’m using one at the gym. You can adjust the resistance to make it more difficult.

Got this from Trader Joe’s, not bad but nothing special

Venturing to a Trader Joe’s on a Saturday when i don’t like tight spaces and large crowds was not a good idea 😳

[January 17th, 1946] The Canadian Air Council officially approved the Maple Leaf roundel as the distinctive insignia for the Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF).

#BlackPhone2 was pretty good 👍🏻

A sleeping slice of Colby jack cheese aka Diarmuid #cat #life

Good mail day from @umasspress.bsky.social holiday sale

Slightly obsessed with how he’s sleeping atm. #bestfriend #dogs

Current read and so far Sadler isn’t pulling no punches on examining how China is outmaneuvering the US. They definitely have been playing the long game.

Seeing the shit show that was Trump meeting all the oil executives and them being nah we don’t want to invest in Venezuela is kinda hilarious.

My poor left pinky toe…third time I’ve stubbed it hard on a door frame in a few years…

Idk why but the two back feet poking up always cracks me up. #doggo #naps

Now that I’ve some how managed to land an adjunct position for a community college, what part of American history am i going to teach. 250 years would be a lot to cram into 10 weeks 😳 Also need to pick a textbook. Thank god I have until May to figure this out

A Black man was killed by ICE (off duty) in Los Angeles on New Year’s Eve. And like Renée Good, he was an American citizen. But most people have not heard about Keith Porter. I need y’all to realize this. Black people experience this lack of visibility all the time when it comes to being victims.

Help I would like to report a murder of a stuffed cat toy #dogs

My friend is having too much fun with AI but I do enjoy this photo

Got my official rejection email from the PhD program I applied to. Yeah it sucks, but honestly I’m just happy I applied because 2 years ago I would have talked myself out of even applying due to impostor syndrome. They are taking another 12 students in two years so I will apply again.

All signed up to watch the livestream from the Paris Naval Conference on naval rearmament and operations in contested waters hosted by @ifri.bsky.social

Finally bought a copy from @usni.org. #naval #strategy

My 2026 goals are to publish an academic piece and present at a conference.

As I look back on my 2025, I have to thank the community from here, @thegreatwargroup.bsky.social, and @wehaveways.bsky.social for keeping me sane and being a bright spot. Much love to you all and hope we all have an amazing 2026 #HappyNewYears

#Sauron has a new realm to conquer.

Academic research question. Can anyone point me towards to some literature on Italian shipyards during #WWII. Everything I’m finding is post war via google. Please and thank you 😊

Joined #DAR and my relative that fought in the American revolution is named Basil Prathers from NC. Absolutely love the name 😅

Went on a short Christmas Eve hike. The spill way behind us was built by the Civilian Conservation Corps during #WWII. #VA history #StateParks

Matching pjs for Christmas #doggos

Damn James Ransome passed away. He was a great actor. I loved his chaotic energy he brought to his characters in his comedy roles.

My thoughts on the #Nuremberg movie from a non-historian on the subject, a thread. Russell Crowe as Hermann #Göring did a great job at making you intrigued but also want to throat punch him. His defiance during the trial made me mutter fuck you under my breath in the theater. 1:6

Dog viciously mauled by a tiger. #cats #kittens #caturday

Favorite childhood movie that I enjoy watching with my dad #WillyWonka

A little throwback of Diarmuid and Churchill under the #Christmas tree when we live In Savannah. #cats #cutiepatootie
