I love getting proofs of my papers. Legit one the most accomplished feelings comes when those arrive. Publication day, sure. But dang do I love Proof-Day.

I think my “Holocaust: History & Memory” class is complete — syllabus, BlackBoard filled out with readings, etc. Just going to put in survivor testimonies throughout the semester and add some “for further reading” articles & primary sources.

So, if you have any fascinating sources, let me know!

I wasn’t expecting to like this one as much as I have been — a questionable narrator in a stream of consciousness, with a bit or problematic thrown in to the mix. It’s heavy hitting and hopeful and light at the same time. It’s not perfect, but it’s been a good read so far. #Mosquitoland #CurrentlyReading @bookstodon

I just finished reading #TheHopefulOnes by Jennifer Close and while it’s not a great book by any means (I LOVED #GirlsInWhiteDresses and feel very let down by this one) — it has me all up in my feels.

Look. I’m trying to figure out these socials and where I want to be and what I want out of them now that The Tweets are finally sinking in a way that seems unsustainable. So I’m here, but I’m also this handle on BleuSky, Threads, IG, and that’s it for now.

Just saw a Rum Runner (drink) on the rocks called a “Ship Wreck” and … I am HERE for this Florida Keys pun.

I recently started cycling (as a gym class, think SoulCycle, but a smaller brand) for my mental health and … I’m not sold on it. I love group fitness— grew up as an athlete, love working out and training with others. But a nightclub on a bike? Problem is I fee pretty dang good after…

Hey #histodons friends! I have a former student who is planning an art project based on the Parisian Salons & wants more historical sources. iIt’s a bit out of my area, so if you know any accessible articles? I’ll def share her work (if permitted) once it’s done!

2023 has been off to a rough start for me in terms of reading for fun — I think I’ve finished 1.5 books so far and just want to read more! #Bookstodon

Hey, #HistMed folks. Some of my students are struggling to wrap their heads around Galen’s spirits. I’ve presented it a bunch of ways, but they can’t seem to divorce the word “spirit” from the Christian notion of “soul” — any good resources or suggestions?

My students are writing excellent papers. I’m quite proud of them and their work. But my question is this: where did capitalization go?

Freezing rain coated rotting apples, creating a solid icy shell around them. When the apples slipped out of the bottom of the ice casing, it resulted in these "ghost apples."

Does anyone out in the world of #medievodons or #Histodons have a #PrimarySourceAnalysis rubric they swear by & are willing to share? I’m in the process of making one but a) why reinvent the wheel, so to speak, and (mostly) b) I’m stumped on the language I’m putting into it.

@yvonne this is fantastic! Thanks for sharing — I’ve not come across it before!

I’m hearing a lot of teachers talking about leaving after this year. Sadly, these are the ones you’d most like teaching your kids—smart, passionate, lifelong learners. When the innovators have all been driven out of this field, guess who will be left? The dull, the indifferent, and the obedient—a bad school administration’s dream employees. That’s who. #teaching #highschool #k12
