where was the section 106 review on this?

recent baking: • dirty chai snickerdoodles • caramel apple macarons • dubai chocolate macarons • brown sugar poptart bars

I really mean it when I say that I hope I can be as good of an advisor and mentor to my future students as my advisors and mentors have been to me throughout the years.

yay field trips! 🧡 loved spending time in @greatsmokynps.bsky.social !

Gave a tour of my exhibit and approved the page proofs of the exhibition album I wrote today!

I trial judged at my first figure skating competition! While it was challenging, I really loved being immersed in skating for a whole weekend ❤️⛸️

As the resident Swiftie and social media girlie of my department, you know I had to ❤️‍🔥

NCPH has issued a joint statement with @aaslh.org, @oah.org, @asalh-bhm.bsky.social, and #AAAM on the erasure of history at National Park Service sites and steps you can take to support NPS sites. Read the full statement here: ncph.org/wp-content/u... #Advocacy #PublicHistory #SupportNPS

I finished my fellowship position for the Beauford Delaney Papers Collection last week. This part of the exhibit is one of my contributions. One case highlights his sketches that precede his Rosa Parks series, while the other than explores his relational geographies in Knoxville, NYC, and Paris.

Today’s baking: Dubai chocolate brownies Cheesy garlic focaccia bread

I was accepted to trial judge for a US Figure Skating non-qualifying competition! I’m excited for this new role in the figure skating world ⛸️ 🧡

I probably spent more time on this postdoc app than any other application I’ve submitted and I hope it makes a difference.

If you only want sites that highlight “beauty, abundance, or grandeur," then you don't care about actual history — you want propaganda. www.sfgate.com/california-p...

Me: I have so much writing to do. Also me: What are the requirements to be a @usfigureskating.bsky.social judge?

Last week, I took a spontaneous trip back to Paris. I didn't open my laptop the entire time I was there, and I loved every minute. It was the reset I needed.

The highlight of my return to Paris was definitely Paris Noir at @centrepompidou.bsky.social. Studying Beauford Delaney for the last two years and seeing so many of his works in one place was truly special.

I published some stuff this year.

I haven’t opened my laptop the entire time I’ve been in France.

Application is in the mail! 9-11 months to Irish citizenship!

not my best set, but kinda cute for @utkgeography.bsky.social end of the year awards ceremony

how am i supposed to get any work done.

someone in the writing group on zoom: “are you back in france?” me: “…not yet.” but this is 10000% my favorite place to get work done on a friday morning.

Returning to Paris since I’m not graduating when I planned to.

PhD candidate Katrina Stack is the research fellow for the Beauford Delaney Papers Collection at UT Libraries. Read this article that discusses how she brought her perspective as a geographer to studying the archive of an abstract expressionist artist. volumes.lib.utk.edu/features/see...

Read more about how I've been looking at an artist geographically, beginning with his archive and then in his footsteps in Paris. ⬇️ volumes.lib.utk.edu/features/see...

Yesterday, we had several grad students, as well as faculty and staff who support them, recognized at the GSS awards brunch! Check out this 🧵 to see all the awards our department received!

Katrina Stack also received an Honorable Mention for the Clyde Woods Graduate Student Paper Award from the Black Geographies Specialty Group for her paper, “Researching and Preserving Resistant Homescapes: The Past and Present of Freedom Houses in the Mississippi Delta."

Congratulations to PhD candidate Katrina Stack, who won the Terry G. Jordan-Bychkov Paper Award from the Cultural Geographies Specialty Group for her paper, “Exhibit Space Activism: The Potential for Using Civil Rights Memory as a Catalyst for Change.”

Does anyone want to send me back to Paris before June 30? www.theguardian.com/news/2025/ap...

No because someone tell me why my MacBook has done me dirty *twice* in the last month by automatically sending emails that I didn't finish writing. I swear I am not incompetent.

Looking for audio book recommendations for my drive to #AAG2025 pls

Because being on the academic job market is stressful and I made a spreadsheet that made it manageable, here’s the link. Copy and use as you wish ✨ docs.google.com/spreadsheets...

Curious about the impact of cutting funding to the IMLS in your state? There’s an interactive map for that! Check out this widget to see where the funds for those programs the current administration considers "wasteful" are going: www.imls.gov/map

Anyone who went to UM-Dearborn and even just knew of this man is probably not shocked by this.

The timing of some of the paperwork my brother and I need for our Irish citizenship arriving on St. Patrick’s Day ☘️

This is blood-boiling. Charles Rogers was awarded the Medal of Honor in Vietnam after being wounded three times leading the defense of a position. Google his name and the entry below comes up. When you click, you'll see the page has been deleted and the URL changed to include "DEI medal."

The article says that the "restoration of any removed material would be carried out in line with President Trump’s executive orders." Literal rewriting of history.

I genuinely love making social content for my department 🧡

The Army just deleted without explanation its page about the 442nd “GO FOR BROKE” infantry regiment—the Japanese American WW2 unit that is the most decorated in US military history. Archive is here: web.archive.org/web/20250304... Page was here: www.army.mil/asianpacific... Disgusting.

By next St. Patrick’s Day, I should have my Irish citizenship.

This is why I get nothing done when I work from home.

Another reason I've been so excited for #AAG2025... I got tickets for my first @detroitredwingsnhl.bsky.social game since like 2018(!!!) #LGRW 🏒🐙❤️

I’m not sure I’ve ever seen a more apt metaphor

baking sunday: key lime pie macarons jameson + baileys macarons

Selma's Bloody Sunday was 60 years ago today. 60. Only 60.

Another example of the effort to erase the contributions of Black Americans and perpetuate this uneven memory landscape.
