Trans women live out that there is no one way to be a woman. I've lived most of my life not doing feminity "right." I've cut my hair off and dressed masc. It has not shaken my gender identity.* I will always ride for women defining feminity for themselves. *would be fine if it did

I am devastated to report we snooped on this house last night. They PAINTED IT WHITE inside (wood too) and ripped out the kitchen. I cant. We couldnt have put the 600k in they were asking last year (nor the 400k they sold it for) and reno it. But something so beautiful deserved better.

I feel about Ohio the way Philly feels about Gritty. The more strangers on the internet try to make me hate it, the more it becomes MY problematic gerrymandered creature that I refuse to give up bc it is beautiful.

In theory, single-blind review process where your know the reviewer is cool. In practice, my brain refuses to process comments because they came from THAT SCHOLAR who knows everything about this work and omg they read my work and saw things i said omg. Anyway, revisions are going great. And late.

I have been getting a lot of email at my Cal Poly address, which is about to get deactivated. So, hi! I work at Case Western, and I'm a librarian now. I moved to Ohio. Quit tenure. It was a whole thing. That's where you can find me. 😊

I love this (and agree). Let me extend it. I encourage humanities faculty to consider machine and deep learning in their research when they're at a factory moving boxes by hand and the goal is move all the boxes. Plus there are forklifts that aren't based on stolen parts and sold by jerks.

Think I'll post this again (and again)... Katherine Johnson, whose precise calculations helped ensure the success of the Mercury and Apollo space missions, including the historic Apollo 11 moon landing. #BHC #BH365

We already lost a generation of humanists to precarity and starving our disciplines of funding. I do NOT want to lose the work we did get. I do not want work on Black, Indigenous, and People of Color, women and gender minorities, and queer folx's work to disappear. I need this history. We all do.

Side note to my new followers: I'm not an archivist. I'm a career bibliographer who talked my way into a library job and has learned a lot from very smart archivists. Archivists are much more adept at advice on preservation than me. I just know what it's like to have terabytes of research data.
