Trying a new stout beer from a #local brewery #RVA

Moving forward with the “Within Walls” program with Virginia Community College. I will start teaching American history at two correctional facilities in the summer. Excited to gain experience teaching while helping these students earn a degree to help them get ahead when they re-enter society.

I have an interview to be an adjunct history professor with the Virginia Community College system for their Within the Walls program, helping educate prisoners so they can achieve success upon returning to “normal” life. The initial pilot program was a success so they want to expand it to more sites

Well snow has definitely caused havoc at my job. Tomorrow will be the third day they closed the base because of inclement weather. #winter

Good way to spend a #SnowDay

A brief history of #PearlHarbor came to be established, a thread. In January of 1778, Capt Cook landed on the island of Kaua’i. In 1810 the islands became united under King Kamehameha I with help from outsiders. (1:5)

Best book I’ve read this year from @moffski.bsky.social. Great insight in to Scottish life during the #SWW. 5🌟

Well it’s a good day to stay inside and drink coffee and work on some documents. #SnowDay

A little bit of a movie nerd purchase, but I found this inflatable #RedOctober submarine that was sent to movie rental stores as a part of the promotional package. #90s

Some fun coaster from the National Cryptologic Museum at #FTMeade. Love the Super Secret Squirrel 🐿️

Got a wax seal at #ColonialWilliamsburg, using it on my Christmas cards. Feeling officially bougie.

I had so much fun writing this piece on culture as a Frankenstein creature itself. Thank you to @erinbartram.bsky.social for encouraging a more creative approach and structure for this film analysis of many iterations of Frankenstein culminating in @realgdt.bsky.social's brilliant 2025 creation.

I only partook in #BlackFriday for this beauty. Now I’m back in the safety of my grandma’s home

I would like to talk to you about our Lord and Savior, turkey 🦃 #HappyThanksgiving

My grandma still has the glow in the dark starts on her ceiling from when I was a kid 😂❤️

Stopped by #FTMeade to visit the National Cryptologic Museum and got to see this lovely little guy of #Naval #History

Our dear sweet Max passed away this evening. He slipped away while being showered with love.

Just finished the book on the #RoyalNavy engineering branch by Mark Barton. Now moving on the to the one by @moffski.bsky.social on Scotland in #WWII.

A little amusement by watching #Sisu2 in theaters. Is it completely implausible yea but still fun

Video games are entertaining 🧐 #orange #cat

Don’t have the heart to pitch his box yet. #cat #box

Random work issue for the day: where the f are we going to put the 45ft periscope from New Zealand?!

I don’t need any books from @uchicagopress.bsky.social, i don’t need any books from @uchicagopress.bsky.social. Proceeds to add books to cart. 🛒

I think it’s time to dust off the old MA dissertation and give it a polish and try to publish it. It’s been lurking in a file since 2021 where I buried it because I hated it even though it got me a B

Hegseth has a memorial to Black Soldiers who fought in World War II removed from an American military cemetery in The Netherlands. Pure racism. www.cnn.com/2025/11/13/p...

Submitted my #PhD application last night to a university in Germany.

The fellows of Mordor fancied a trip to Italy 🤪

He’s quite distracting when I’m actually motivated to work on my PhD proposal 🙄

Visited the new #Lego store here in #RVA and got this cute little set to put on my desk when we return to work.🤞🏻

Remembering all those lost at sea over the years. @portsmouthcathedral.org.uk #LestWeForget #ArmisticeDay

I got this print from the estate of a career army officer who served in #Vietnam. I have it hanging above my desk to remind myself why I chose to study military history. #RememberanceSunday #LestWeForget

My at home office became a catch all and I did some cleaning. Need more shelf space for books but least I can read in here now. #book #lover

Lt Dan aka Lou thinks he’s a lap #dog still. #squished he looks pretty pleased with himself in the last photo

Trying something from a local distillery #VA #local #whiskey

#Hiking with Sigrid has been one of the main things keeping me sane during the furlough. #stateparks #VA

My friend is trying to grow his YouTube channel. He tours historic sites and provides an amazing insight to the site. youtu.be/3zH2-MuP2Bk?...

We need a #Smaug on top of the gold Lego set

Sigrid enjoying the hike. #statepark #dogs

Decided to go out of my comfort zone and apply for a job I don’t consider myself qualified for but according to the job posting I am 🤞🏻It does align with my long term career goals.

Sometimes I wonder if China and Russia don’t laugh at our containment policy of send money to other countries so they don’t garner favorable support.

Drinking a rum and coke and making biscuits with gravy.

When you get the email from DoorDash now they deliver for Barnes and Noble. 👀

Forgot how cheesy #FreddyVSJason is.

Happy Halloween 👻

Nathan Fillion’s haircut in #Superman is horrendous but great at the same time!

Me opening my back door to the yard having to prove to my dogs that it is still in fact raining which they both do not like to be in…
