I had a wonderful time at The WAWH Conference. And we even had time for a field trip.

There is something about buying whatever you want at Trader Joe and then eating snacks for dinner that makes adulthood worth it.

It’s the kind if night where I thought I was making a normal amount of pasta and then I realized I had made an enormous amount pf pasta. And I’m ok with that.

Things may feel dire but I just baked a beast of a banana bread so at least my house smells nice and we have low stress breakfast for tomorrow.

If you need a light hearted update, Theo got his first pair of sandals tonight. I think he is now the dude that refuses to wear shoes and only wears sandals.

Greetings #skystorians and gender studies peeps! I really want to grow my professional networks and collaborate with more folks. I would be thrilled to give a talk almost anywhere. If you need someone to talk about colonialism, cannibalism, indigeneity, and/or the history of sex please think of me!

if i lived in the 1800s and making dinner meant spending every waking hour baking bread and plucking a chicken or whatever and then my husband sat down and said "let's thank god for this meal" i think i'd poison him

I have to say that the enormous tiramisu brownie I spent the day nibbling on was worth every calorie.

With all the white noise I missed that Biden commuted Leonard Peltier’s sentence to indefinite house arrest.

We finally went to Locals Food Hub and Pizza Pub and it made my week. There was a designated kiddo space for Theo to play and the pizza was really good. I also treated myself to goodies they were selling in the “pantry”: fresh whole wheat linguine from Lexington pasta and sauce from Pasta Garage.

Sometimes my job takes me to cool spots. These mid 20th century projectors are in an abandoned theatre on Broadway in Louisville.

It's not just military uniforms. When women's dress sizes were developed in the 1940s, they were based on working class white women's measurements & poverty contributed to their thinness. time.com/3532014/wome... #HATM
