It's the gift of living in a place for a long time, to inscribe new experiences on old, sometimes painful, geographies. Now this corner marks a pain overcome. <3 #placemaking #PersonalHistory

Kathmandu, 1978. Setting trends before they were 'cool'. 🇳🇵✨ "Before I was a digital archaeologist on @base, I was a 'cultural hippie' in Nepal. I wanted a traditional gold nose stud. The local jeweler was terrified—he’d never seen a Western woman ask for one. There were no piercing studios. Just a thick darning needle, a bottle of alcohol for the pain, and a crowd of curious locals watching me bleed for my style. When I got back to Amsterdam, a cashier stared at me like I was an alien. Two years later, everyone had one. I’ve always been an early adopter. From 1970s subcultures to being one of the first digital artists in 1998.

A well-loved copy of White Gloves and Party Manners, given to me by my great-aunt when I was young. The wear tells its own story. I’ve always believed books carry memories just as much as words.

1981 black and white photograph of the Mohawk School playground in Scotia, NY. The school, two stories of brick (with a half-story windowed basement below) looms in the background, with very tall windows that are mostly glass block. In the playground there are metal-framed swings with rubber seats, children swinging on them and significant divots in the sand beneath them from years of swinging feet. A slide, monkey bars, and other climbing equipment are all visible, and there is a basketball court in the background.
My latest #LocalHistory post has more than a tiny element of #PersonalHistory, as it's about my elementary #school (and its predecessor of the same name). I was lucky enough to find some great #ClassPhotos and shots of the #playground, where I spent […]

Every WWI veteran is dead. Soon, every WWII veteran will be too. What happens to remembrance when there is no one left to remember? On memory, class, and who actually profits from our wars. #History #PersonalHistory #War #Memory

The day I left for DC—maps charcoaled in ash, coffee cups stacked like Matryoshka dolls—I said:
“Matt, there’s plenty of P-U-S-S-Y in the sea.”
I meant: please live. Don’t tie your oxygen mask to my dissertation.
He cried. I drove east. #PersonalHistory

Photograph of a young woman with bright, wide eyes, smooth white skin, long dark hair pulled back, light makeup and bright lipstick, holding a number of playing cards in front of her.
I ran across this picture of the most important person in my life and keep feeling all the feelings over it. We were 18, and she was helping me out with a class project, glamming herself up in a way that she didn't ordinarily do then to pose for this picture […]

A brilliant, cloud-streaked sky over a wide expanse of river. An island with cottonwood trees is on the left - in the midground is a bridge across the river, underneath which a kayaker is headed.
I went home again, back to where I once belonged, and wrote about what it means to paddle the river channel where I learned to love the outdoors and being on the water.

My grandparents got their WWII romance written up in the local paper after my Nana worked her way to England & married my Grandad, who she had met in Italy. They got my Nanas Italian name wrong though, it was Clorinda Giovanna, but she always went by Giovanna. #personalhistory
