I'm at the DOGE subcommittee hearing on trans athletes in US Fencing

1. This is a huge waste of time
2. Fencing isn't dependent on biology

My defense is passed! Yesterday I defended my dissertation Innocent Blood and Hardened Hearts: Disability, Religion, and the Salem Witchcraft Trials

I started looking at Salem for a National History Day project and never stopped

I had a great time at #AHA25 and my train wasn't canceled! After listening to fascinating panels and purchasing new books, I have more ideas to finish the dissertation and figure out what's next!
