Happy birthday to my ride or die academic and life buddy @seokweonjeon.bsky.social
Your birth was a gift to me, our communities, and the world. I am so grateful to have you by my side, including during our very short-notice impromptu civil wedding earlier this year.

Senior scholars out there reading my doctoral research and calling it "enormously impressive" is giving me the motivation to push through this (hopefully) final year of dissertating.

I would love to keep up the work afterwards and get the book out so please send post-docs and jobs my way.

Ok, I promised myself that if I would come back on this platform I would not ONLY vent about Harvard and politics. So here is a cool thing that happened recently.

But hold on, they alleged you should have asked your Jewish panelists about their opinion on Zionism and Israel first and that's why they cancelled it except that is *checks notes* asking you to violate Harvard anti-discrimation and bullying policies 🤦‍♀️

NAISA was the best because the people are the absolute best.

Not gonna pay for wifi on the plane. Stay strong, my heart.

You all might know @chancebonar.bsky.social as a fun online academic but I know him as superb uncle

The fam has arrived safely from Germany and I was so relieved when I saw them come through customs. Can't wait to go into super auntie mode for the next week.

I mean they can try but it will likely backfire just like before

Today is the anniversary of the execution of three members of the White Rose, an Anti-Nazi German student resistance group, in 1943: Sophie and Hans Scholl and Christoph Probst. Take a minute to reflect on the powerful words of urgency in their third leaflet shared by @zinnedproject.bsky.social

Not @chancebonar.bsky.social surprising me with this adorable custom wooden puzzle today.

For folks in the area looking for some NAIS community and/or just good people. Join us tonight for some food and karaoke.

remembering August Landmesser and the power of refusal, non-compliance, and disengagement.

Congregation is "konckrigeschen" and so on.
Rachel also occasionally interspersed Mohican phrases as you can see here:
