If you are against transgender people in banking, I can keep your money safe. Just transfer your entire savings to my account. It’s what patriots should do. 🤭

Since our federal government and democracy are under attack, and it’s Black History Month, I downloaded all of my documents from OPM and saved them in a folder labeled ‘freedom papers’.

Thinking about visiting Congressional Cemetery to put my ear to the ground and listen to J. Edgar Hoover spin in his grave.

I took this video on December 30. Heading into the office and once again reminded that January 6, 2021 is not over. #jan6

It’s National Short People Day!

If you wish to bow to me, you have to practically lay face down on the ground so I feel as superior as I should. Yes, I know you’ll have your revenge tomorrow when you put your hand on my forehead as I swing my arms futilely, but I will have this moment today!

Every time there’s talk of a #governmentshutdown, I try to remind my husband our grandparents went through the Great Depression on canned foods so we don’t need to use Door Dash or GrubHub to survive.

No matter how rough working under the dome is, it never stops being breathtaking.

Tomorrow on my webcast "History Matters:"

Just taught my last class of the semester.

Early National America

And my last lecture ended by urging students to remember that there is no endpoint to democracy. You have to work at it.

Always.

Cooking and baking with the recipes, pots, pans, and other tools left by your grandmothers is the best inheritance. I didn’t get diamonds and gold, but what they left me is more precious, dare I say priceless, and better because what I can make I can share with the ones I love.

Happy Thanksgiving!

The ‘you are here’ should read “Parable of the Sower.”
Read the banned books first. Knowledge is power 💪
