Historians on hiring, tenure, and promotion committees should be cautious about relying on Google Scholar, and we need to fight against others using it to assess us. I just noticed three citations to my articles in an American Historical Review article by Jo Guldi, and none show up in my profile.
New #CFP International #WomensWriting online conference
Once again, the main day of Tea Party protests had about 300,000 nationwide, but saw endless coverage.
The No Kings protests had about 7,000,000 nationwide, and many media outlets reacted with a yawn.
No Kings was nearly 25x as big as the Tea Party but the Tea Party got 25x the attention.
I saw so many people talking about how Mamdani and Lander were clearly running because they love their city and want to make life better there, while Cuomo seems to hate and fear it, and that feels like the key piece of this campaign that could be replicable by progressives everywhere
"I'm happy to report I'm just fine. I lost a button. But I'm gonna sleep in my bed tonight, safe, with my family... At that elevator, I was separated from someone named Edgardo... Edgardo is in ICE detention and he's not going to sleep in his bed tonight."
I just ran into someone doing the whole “don’t eat a thing if your great-grandparents wouldn’t recognize it as food” and I’m begging people to know a little food history and understand how far back you have to go to find food without additives.
Taking “constituent services” to the max. Well done, Senator @vanhollen.senate.gov.
Now we know who the inspiration for Voldemort was.
I love this because I can't decide which one it's meaner to.

This pointless stunt by Cory Booker is accomplishing nothing but drawing attention to the Trump administration’s wrongdoing and delaying the work of the Senate and energizing the Democratic base and, wait, hang on, let me come in again
Please stop using ChatGPT in general, but also, please, please stop using it and then taking what it says to you as fact. It's usually wrong! It doesn't fact check itself. It just creates approximations of information based on other text! It's basically magnetic poetry that sets the world ablaze.
been off socials for a while but popping in to see if anyone is attending #NWSA2025? My panel on new & forthcoming books in Middle East women's history is looking for a chair. Please reach out if you're interested!

Can verify.
I'm seeing these same kinds of no-win scenarios in the Trump administration.
We need political leaders who will stop focusing so much on trying to change Trump's behavior (which cannot and will not be changed) and put their time, energy, and resources into supporting the people he hurts.
NEW today from @miamiherald.com: more men sent to El Salvador on Saturday have been identified by their families, including a 27-year-old who entered legally at a port of entry in 2023 through the CBP One app and a 29-year-old father of a baby born here last year. Neither have any criminal record.
The New York Times is the first to put out comprehensive estimates on the cost of a year without U.S.A.I.D. and they’re higher than I thought:
- 1.65 million deaths from AIDS
- 500,000 from lack of vaccines
- 550,000 from lack of food aid
- 290,000 from malaria
- 310,000 from TB
A crowd of 100 people standing together holding signs expressing their dismay with Sen. Schumer
NOW: Almost 100 people are outside the home of @schumer.senate.gov calling on him to vote NO on cloture and NO on the disastrous Trump-Musk budget
Supreme Court rules 6-3 that Teslas are priced to move with $0 down and no payments for 48 months
Hint: it’s not okay when they do it to Palestinian green card holders, it’s not okay when they do it to German tourists, it’s not okay when they do it to Mexican people regardless of citizenship, it is not okay. Ever.
The number of protests that are gonna happen in the coming months just because it’s finally getting warm outside is going to be nuts
Instead of using ChatGPT, why not just get a family member to lie to you while they set fire to a tree?
In recalling all the abusive behavior, please don't sleep on the fact that Cuomo was ALSO corrupt, dishonest and bad at his job!
just screaming “all activism is performative, if it weren’t it wouldn’t do anything, that’s what performative means” into the void until i grow hoarse
In my Pride and Prejudice lecture I called Clueless the “greatest Austen adaptation of the 20th century,” because I’m ready to admit we have one that is even better.
shout out to all the parent writers. to all the projects started and then withered because a kid had a cold, or fell when you were jotting an idea down, or started a bath and jumped in still dressed. for the conferences and fellowships and sub windows missed. shout out to y’all who keep coming back.
