Dr. Professor Powell PhD

@S_DeGooyer @RoyTsaoNYC @esdsantos This is a great area: pirate law is a weird and changeable thing, and also we have lots of pirate trials! Would recommend the intro to the General History and then maybe a famous trial or two. Captain Kidd's is interesting, because he is totes guilty AND his trial is also unfair!

@RoyTsaoNYC @esdsantos I’ve got @NushPowell!

And I'm out. Will come back to free more friends as soon as I've got more codes!

@FahimeSQB You can! DM'd!

@NushPowell Can I have one?

I have a few extra BlueSky codes if anyone needs them…

@fierengraw DM'd

@MattMcLaine DM'd

@NushPowell Have a spare?

@DoktorZoom 🤣🤣🤣

@NushPowell Yeah, I think you're right. Ah well. If I were still teaching I would never live this down. Maybe it's a palindrome?

@DoktorZoom All hands on deck is synecdoche, though…

@DoktorZoom It’s not either — oxymoron, maybe?

@Delta My friend, I was at JFK and there were no storms. Sunny and clear, in fact.

@NushPowell Hi there! We are truly sorry your flight was cancelled. Please know that weather impacts the safety of your route. JFK is experiencing ground stops due to storms. We are here to help. If you need assistance rebooking, feel free to DM us. We are happy to assist you!

@Delta cancelled my flight and refused to provide a hotel for me and my kid, claiming it was a weather issue. Sunny and clear in both IND and JFK but okay, sure, this definitely isn’t a staffing issue, whatever. Air travel really is the pits.

@MINAJATRO1S I don't have any right now -- sorry!!

@NushPowell send me an invite PLEASE 🙏

Guys, I'm over on Bluesky. I miss Twitter, but I can't do ... whatever this thing is. 😭

@S_Insley_H I alternated between howling and cackling. My husband was embarrassed by me. Alas for him.

I loved it, but I’m also the target audience. At one point, a little girl two seats down said “Mommy, why does the lady keep laughing?”

You’re not ready to see Barbie unless you’ve picked up a copy of the OG. wwnorton.com/books/97803935…

@resleftrev @katalves18c I keep trying to get Great Courses to let me do an educational pirates cruise!

In a pathetic attempt to get my teen to get off his ipad, I asked him if he could put on an "educational film" while I work. He picks "Pirates of the Caribbean." I am an abject failure @NushPowell

@S_DeGooyer I love that format!

@NushPowell Maybe organize a publication roundtable like Ashley did?

I was asked to be part of this roundtable review of *The Dawn of Everything”. journal18.org/meta/big-histo… Overall, I thought the book was trying to be too BIG.
