What shall we do with our Kentucky? by Bailey Vandiver link.medium.com/gYxVE1LV3lb

Monday at 9 pm on KET, watch Angels on Horseback to learn about Mary Breckinridge and her Frontier Nursing Service, whose nurse-midwives traveled by horseback to provide health care to those living in Kentucky's remote mountain communities.

Looking forward to new scholarship on Julia Chinn. Story of U.S. vice president from Ky., his enslaved wife shows how history surprises us. kentucky.com/opinion/paul-p…

New KET documentary coming Oct. 11. PREVIEW: bit.ly/3F2sRMS In 1925, Mrs. Mary Carson Breckinridge led a team of spirited women to Leslie County, Ky and established a demonstration of providing unprecedented healthcare to rural Appalachia.

@ClaireClarkPhD @lmacthompson1 @drkyliesmith @LucRichert @HumanitiesMD I accomplished almost nothing when my kids were little (beyond keeping everyone alive), so there’s that too. Don’t expect too much. Let’s get coffee some time and talk.

@ClaireClarkPhD @lmacthompson1 @drkyliesmith @LucRichert @HumanitiesMD I think there is something to be said for “slow scholarship.” I’ve heard Amy Murrell Taylor describe her work that way. I find my inability to say no really boosts my productivity, but it’s not always good for my sanity. I’d rather take it slower.

I celebrated Women’s Equality Day by purchasing a new vintage photo. It has no identifying information so I’m just imagining who these women might have been and why they were posing. I think chances are good that some of them were suffragists.

@FAANews My daughter is a ballet dancer and she uses Jet glue and aerosole shellac to reinforce her shoes. Can she take these items in a checked bag?

@SteffiGreenhill Hooray!

Thanks to Genie Potter for sharing.

This is a lovely piece. So many stories that haven't been told. Rachel Grimes - Finding a Founding Mother youtu.be/NYOHbwb3wVo via @YouTube
