I've written about my gratifying experience of running for elected office in 2017. Whatever happens next week, this is timely. DM me if you are considering running for office. Happy to talk with you and share what I learned. @AHAhistorians historians.org/perspectives-a…

@thesaramarcus @Harvard_Press This looks amazing!

Just in time for the mass exodus from Twitter, I did it! I turned in my copy edits and can now share, without (much) fear of the evil eye, that POLITICAL DISAPPOINTMENT will be published by Belknap/@Harvard_Press in 2023. hup.harvard.edu/catalog.php?is…

@margaretpeacock 100% this. The elitism is palpable. I hate it.

I am sick of being dismissed b/c of my Alabama University affiliation. I tell colleagues that I work at Alabama and am met with an unpleasant face. It impacts grants and publishing. Yes, this place is in trouble—all the more reason to stay and fight. #AcademicTwitter

@kginzzz @HaedenWright Thanks, @kginzzz! Will try to make contact.

🚨The first Starbucks ORGANIZING in Alabama is closing TODAY at 5PM for a union-busting meeting. Worker-organizers at the store need YOUR help.Let's have their back in their union fight. Go to the Starbucks at 308 20th Street South, 35233(the one on Southside) at 4:30. 1/2

@tzimmer_history So exciting! Following!

I am teaching a graduate course on the “21st Century History Wars” this semester. If anybody is interested in following along here on Twitter, I’d be happy to keep a running diary of what we read and discuss. A few thoughts on the outline of the course and the idea behind it:

@MelaniMcA @cambUP_History SO excited to read this! Congrats!!

@kathleen_belew me too! I read it on your recommendation. So amazing!

@profjennholland Congrats! I loved your book!

The WHA has been my intellectual home since 2003 (I came as a first-year MA student and editorial fellow for the WHQ). I can’t say how honored I am to receive these awards from the organization.

@gabrielwinant tremendous news.

@dnbrgr Tremendous news. Thanks for sharing this.

Never forget that we had all the scientific evidence we needed to act on global warming over 40 years ago, but the fossil fuel industry spent millions to spread disinformation and block climate action. Global warming isn’t a tragedy, it’s a crime.

@gnrosenberg I have always wanted to teach Karen Fowler's novel WE ARE ALL COMPLETELY BESIDE OURSELVES.

@akbarjenkins You and me both.

I guess I’m the asshole still going around masked

@gnrosenberg Very true. He is straight out of insult comedy tradition. Very New York. Very Borscht Belt. Key to understanding his appeal.

@nataliapetrzela Same!!!! 😀

As someone who probably relies a little too much on smiling as my primary way to establish human connection, I am really freaking excited about the new cdc rules
