Yours truly, Cynthia Heider

Thrilled to be presenting so much Philly History on migration, urban life, policing and protest at #AHA23 later this week! Here are a few historic neighborhoods that have inspired my research on community activism and resiliency that newcomers to the city should learn about🧵:

Fascinating! @Christy_SpaceHW doing cool work w GIS in modeling enslaved freedom seekers in the Great Dismal Swamp. Struck by subversion of intended use of colonial datasets & proprietary, nonneutral (arguably imperial) tools like ArcGIS for liberatory meaning-making #AHA23 #s194

As I took some time to get inspired by Digital History projects, I came across a brilliant one. “Brazilian Portraits” is housed at @BrownUniversity Library Collections: library.brown.edu/collections/sk…. Follow my thread to get to know more about it!

@RobertHaisfield @RoamResearch I'm curious what your embedded query looks like in Obsidian for this example. Currently wrestling with this kind of "display where [a AND b] OR [a AND c AND x]" situation

I'll note - this is implicitly what I do with my [[open questions]]. Here's an example from @RoamResearch: the top level bullet has a question, and then I translate that question into a query of my database. I'm doing the same thing now in Obsidian with embedded queries.

Assuming you're not using aliases, a plain text search in @obsdmd for "[[page]]" within quotations pulls up the backlinks for that page. Searching for ".png" will pull up all of your pngs. There's a lot of flexibility that comes from searching strings when everything is in markup

Hey, yeah, no thanks. See y'all... IRL?

Excited that @AHAhistorians is coming to my city for the #AHA23 conference and I will be presenting on these panels with my friends and some amazing historians: @a_m_ribeiro, @AshleyDDennis, @buffaloabby, @CharlotteERosen, @comebackcities, @mcountryman14 and @SamSchirvar

@bikemamadelphia My first thought was "Welcome to Wrexham" publicity stunt

? ? ?

@dorothyjberry Yeah for sure. I've started thinking of this phenom as "emotional hangovers." Hope yours subsides soon ☺️

@ess_ell_zee @SolidarityHist That's amazing! You're amazing! I'm so excited for your excitement and I am wishing you lots of rest and self-care time to recuperate from the stress. Onward and upward!

@ehkopin Post-Flash Neopia sounds intimidating! Is there still an omelette to harvest?

@ess_ell_zee I say this because I did this - not because I think there's anything wrong with your couch! (unless there is, in which case, f that couch)

@ess_ell_zee Ritter Sport with Cornflakes (my fave!!), haircut, a new couch lol

@hralperta Abandon all hope, ye who enter here 😵😬

Hey check it out, how clever is this

Informed by a customer service rep at @MannCenter that refunds are "on hold" until it's been sorted whether @courtneymelba & @lucydacus can reschedule at this venue in the fall. Asked when the Mann will communicate this to customers or offer other options?: "Maybe next week."
