5 years married, disgustingly happy, horrifyingly lucky. 🥰

Just so delighted to get out this much this summer. There must be flowers as well as bread. 🌹🥖

Another beautiful weekend in and on top of some mountains. Reminds me of why it’s all worth fighting for.

Back on my BS (blue sky) after a month in Asia. Will never get tired of having Rocky Mountain NP in our backyard

I dressed up like this as soon as I'd seen the book cover

Thankful for our little old Steve in these bad times. #catsofbluesky

Joining the Stanford crew at a lightning round about the oeuvre of Mark Edward Lewis on the occasion of his retirement. Here is George Qiao on Lewis’s first monograph on statehood and violence in early Sinitic contexts @asianstudies.org #aas2025 #historiansofbluesky

More #aas2025 fun at a roundtable about histories of premodern Asian gender and sexuality! Ft @astanley711.bsky.social, Matt Sommer, Hsiao-wen Cheng, and Jisoo Kim. RTs are the best panel format imo. #historiansofbluesky @asianstudies.org

So proud of my PhD student Lanya Feng presenting on “African tree bark pills” and their symbolism of racial imaginaries intersecting with exploitation of African resources to assuage sexual anxieties and more in early Republican China. #aas2025 #historiansofbluesky @asianstudies.org

lest you sneer at this glorious achievement, imagining there being but a few sad DQs in snowy Canada to make it an "international" franchise, behold: our local peddler of swirly sweets has beaten rivals through the globe

Tomorrow, my brother would have been 30. I can't say the world is a better place than when he left us 9 years ago, but I can say that I think of him often when I wonder what good I could possibly do for anything or anyone. The answer is "not much, but not much is better than not trying." (1/2)

Every winter is busier and warmer… but am still grateful for the beauty of the Rockies.
