Those of us who navigate microaggressions and open hostility know how much effort it takes to show “grace under fire.” Some of us deflect, some use humor, some confront things head-on, some address matters in private. “Being the better person” is exhausting. #mla19 #aha19 #aiascs
this is my last panel at #AHA19 / #MLA19 and it was an amazing way to round off an even more amazing weekend. Thank you to everyone!
#aha19 + #mla19 / #twitterstorians : I'll be at the Hilton Chicago until about 1130am if you'd like to be interviewed and get your research to 30k listeners--or get in touch with me here and we can organize one for when you're at home! Thanks for a great conference Chicago! <3
@seeshespeak is next! "The Reprint as Review" -- focuses on NYRB classics editions and the business of canonical renovation -- this is is really fascinating and has a lot of #AHA19 and #MLA19 overlap
Sight from my window earlier this morning - it seems that there was a fire at the Swissôtel Chicago #MLA19
post #MLA19 panel exploration of Fulton Market district - ended up at a rather hilariously hip chinoiserie joint in which we were the only not-solely-white table of diners (apologies if this is your favorite restaurant)
Any @CLGBTH #twitterstorians going to be at the reception tonight and want to talk about their research? I would love to steal you for a 10m interview for @askhistorians's tens of thousands of listeners! #histsex #AHA19 #mla19
The weird thing about #AHA19 / #MLA19 that no one told me about is that it is like the people you follow on Twitter come to life and are all around you! It's wild. It's great.
Reminder: "Anachronism and Method: History, Literature, Law” is TODAY @ 3:30. Come hear literary scholars, lawyers, and historians grapple TOGETHER with questions of presentism and temporality. Hyatt - Roosevelt 3 #s323 #mla19 #aha19
Just finished an absolutely fantastic interview with @EZuelow for the @askhistorians #podcast! We talked about tourism, national identity, #twitterstorians and so much more! If you're at #AHA19 / #MLA19, I'd love to interview you as well! I will be at Hilton Chicago all day!
In search of lost pens. Meanwhile -
#MLA19
#AHA19 / #MLA19: if you're going to the #bloggers and #twitterstorians reception tonight, catch up with me (I'm the one in the red flannel!) and let me interview you for the @askhistorians podcast OR ask me about how to do an online Q&A with millions of history fans!
Starting my #MLA19 with a bang - managed to lose in transit my phone, IDs, and - really what bums me out most -my pen bag with all my fountain pens and other favorite pens.
(I know my priorities are a bit off)
Well yes, this view will do! #mla19 @ Chicago, Illinois www.instagram.com/p/BsL_UbSHmay/

Just recorded my first interview with Corey Bowen of @FieldMuseum and University of IL! Talked about how #twitterstorians and #Archaeology can be taught to the public with @askhistorians #AHA19 / #MLA19
#AHA19 / #MLA19: I have terrible news, they weren't kidding when they named Chicago the windy city 😂
Watching “A Quiet Place” on the plane to #mla19 man *this* Mary Poppins sequel went daaark
For yet another year, he dutifully packed his exercise gear for MLA. "I'll get to the gym this year," he lied, to himself and to the universe, "sometime between panels and nightcaps."
