Ooo the Graduate Studies Committee were apparently very impressed with my research report for my Master's dissertation. Might even be presenting at a conference!

One thing nobody tells you about ageing: how weird it is realising that so many tv personalities are your age or younger when you're so used to them all being older

The fact that ProQuest has an AI 'Research Assistant' summary on the page of a thesis I am looking at is truly chilling. Would any academic actually use this??

I'm booked in to donate blood on Tuesday! I want to do something positive for the community, and I don't ever really have enough money to donate to causes or extra time to volunteer, so I figure an hour out of my day to donate blood and help someone is something I can manage.

In 1862, a Union soldier found cigars wrapped in a piece of paper in a field of clover. The paper was a copy of Confederate Gen. Lee's invasion orders. The Southern sloppiness helped the Union stop Lee at Antietam.
It's unknown who lost the orders in the field, or if he was related to Pete Hegseth.

Reading a short essay on Samoa written by a high schooler at Brigham Young Academy in 1894 and published in the Juvenile Instructor. Can't help but muse how this kid could never have imagined that 131 years later a random woman in Aotearoa would be reading her essay for research.

Actually found a description of a māhū wahine in a 1899 account of the LDS Hawaiian mission. Surprisingly, while they find her strange, they allow her to march with the women and sit with the relief society. Kinda based.

Research is progressing nicely! I'm reviewing Mormon accounts of Polynesians from the 19th century, through the publication the Juvenile Instructor. Many thanks to the Internet Archive for having preserved so much wonderful material ❤️

Not the best photo I know, but it was pretty cool seeing the lunar eclipse last night! The beauty of our universe is really breathtaking sometimes.

Mickey 17 is fantastic - subtle as a brick to the face, but honestly that's what we need right now. I would like answers from Bong Joon-Ho about the guy in the pigeon suit 😂

Obviously I despise these f*ckwits on a number of levels, but I am particularly offended by their use of the haka to demonstrate their hate.

Watching the State of the Union address and FOR THE LOVE OF GOD WHAT IS HE EVEN TALKING ABOUT??? It's just lie after lie, bigotry and hate. This is a man so willfully ignorant of how government works it's actually breathtaking. #stateoftheunion
