I'm excited to announce that I have received the Ph.D. Dissertation Fellowship from the Early Modern Studies Institute for 2026-27! EMSI has been my intellectual home since I started my graduate training at USC, and I'm so grateful to EMSI for their continued support of my scholarship!

My dissertation focuses on filibusters in the early 19th century. If my work becomes *this* relevant to the present, then we're all in for a world of hurt. amp.dw.com/en/denmark-s...

I'm not saying we spend too much money on our military, but we did just spend taxpayer dollars on a flyover above a DOMED stadium

Hey all! Had to evacuate from our home in Altadena due to the fires. Piper, the cats and I are all safe! And to my students this upcoming semester, sorry if I'm a few days late getting you the syllabus 🥴

As a Jonathan Taylor fantasy owner in the playoffs this week....why. Just why.

Cats clearly don't get the post-Thanksgiving Sunday Scaries

AJ Hinch inspires a team with a 1% chance of playing in October to the postseason and leads them to victory over his former ball club in Houston in the wildcard, but sure, go with the others guys I guess 🤷‍♂️

May as well use the opportunity with my first post here to announce that I passed my qualifying exams!
