I was originally on Twitter to shitpost and livetweet at the American Society for 18th Century Studies for the 10 other colleagues on here.

7 years ago today, there were enough people on here, & enough people working to make it better, that I was able to start the #myASECS tag.

Listening to In/Visible Disability (#disabilityStudies Caucus) starting with @travisclau giving such a smart clarification of the intersections & not discussed enough, divergences between chronic pain & disability. #ASECS2021 #myasecs

So far I'm seeing calls for ways to be gentle with each other and our bodies, thinking about the remote aspects of our future, & tech support are showing up in the (anonymous) #MyASECS mentimeter feedback. Add your thoughts here: http://menti.com/2n5vtsfg9v

#ASECS2021 attendees: I’m reviving a hashtag I deployed in 2015 (!) for @ASECSWomen that @Emnk keeps trying to revive. Tweet #MyASECS w/what would make this a more just & accessible collective/conference, or contribute to this anonymous mentimeter cloud:...

Hearing #c18 scholars reference @driftinghouse always makes me happy #asecs2021 #myasecs

thrilled by the large turnout for #decolonizingASECS @ASECSWomen #asecs2021. 136 attendees present for the live stream. Over the years many of us have had conversations on what we want @ASECSOffice to become. This roundable is definitely part of what I envisioned for #myasecs.

"Why, in every panel about pedagogy, about changing our discipline, about women writers, about POC, about disability studies, is the room filled only with marginalized and early career scholars?" (I'll echo Sunday when I talk about #MyASECS, an @ASECSWomen session w/ 1 dude)

Super excited for #DecolonizingASECS! @ASECSOffice @ASECSWomen caucus-sponsored panel! #asecs2021 #myasecs chaired by @TitaChico1 & Emily Casey. Presenters include @katalves18c, Mint Damrongpiwat, Elizabeth Hutchinson, Patricia Martins Marcos, @londonmikmaq and Chi-Ming Yang.

So far I have all the obvious annual hashtags, #ASECSShoes #myASECS #ThatCamp #Bigger6 #BIPOC18 #ASECSat50 -- am I missing any, friends?

Non-academic conferences are such a great way to find a fresh perspective on the academic ones. Part of volunteering @MAGFest includes the option of bystander/crisis training by @UpliftTogether & @RAINN. Uplift surveyed attendees at past meetings to help now #myasecs #magfest2020

Still working on #myasecs document, #smellybook proofs due tomorrow. Then thinking I should write Sexy 18C Lady Smells pitch for @TheToast

#myasecs 4/4 learning new skills, workshops, breakout discussions do not need to be pre-conference or periphery.

#myasecs 3/n make newcomers welcome (yes, if you keep coming you'll meet people, but why not make it easier than it was for us?)

#myasecs 2/n livestreaming key talks & maybe the business mtg, archiving papers & tweets,

#myasecs involves more accessibility: 5 hard copies need to be @ sessions (per current rule), adv coordination w ASL interpreters 1/n

#myasecs this year reminded me of the great well of goodwill I have to draw from, & inspired me as I go back to work ( #smellybook proofs!)

#asecs16 Have a suggestion for #Rethinking #ASECS & #C18 Tweet @friede hashtag #myASECS
