I wrote 5 pages of my dissertation chapter (the last one, and the one I loathe most) today so I’m spending the rest of the day watching tv in the recliner eating grapes, channeling my inner hedonism bot. #Dissertation #PhD

Guess who just wrote a 2 page footnote about heraldic statues in the middle of their George II chapter, despite desperately trying to have this chapter done in 10 days? #phdlife #Dissertation #twitterstorians

At the Toulouse airport, just watched a woman try to order oat milk in English for her coffee. Barista kept hearing “hot milk.” Emotions escalated to the point where I had to intervene and explain what oat milk was, and this French man was absolutely pissed to learn it exists

Today, Aiya is mixing dirt in a bucket (making soil blocks for seeds for the garden) in the kitchen sink. But she’s doing it while singing “Take Me Home, Country Roads” punctuated by goose honks. Cool.

I don’t even remember what I spent mine on. Probably bills. Probably food. You know - the things people can’t afford anymore.
WOW: Mitch McConnell says the labor shortage will be over once Americans run out of stimulus money… Raise your hand if you don't know a single f**king person who has a penny left from the stimulus! ✋
