Love this question! Sometimes when you write the context to the context you’ll reword that later into like 1-2 sentences and it’s so informative. Sending good writing vibes your way

Whyyyy does Google docs say that "Among women applicants," is a grammatically correct clause, but "Among men applicants," is grammatically incorrect, with "male" as the suggested fix?

The neat thing about having kids is that when I buy Sees and it quickly disappears I know it’s not just me who ate all the chocolates/candies.

I hadn’t thought of myself as old and now my story suddenly sounds like long ago

Told my daughter about how when I was little the neighborhood kids used to climb a fence to steal crabapples- and I’ve officially entered my elder story-sharing time

Picked up an N Scott Momaday book from the library and it smells of tobacco

I’m writing a short historical essay for a special issue for teaching and it finally has my brain moving/thinking again. It’s good to be writing again.

So, the history of and current forms of (systemic) racism and white supremacy are now “racial conspiracy theories?” Good to know.

They’re so tasty! Thanks!

Cross posting cause it’s too yummy not to 🍒

Delighted to share that tonight I won the super bonus 100 tickets at the arcade 🤣🥳

Remembering the time an elder mailed me a box of pilot bread in Albuquerque along with stuffed animals for my kids 🥺💜

There's only 1 commercial producer of hardtack in the US: Interbake Foods & they sell 98% of their product in Alaska, where hardtack has a long history. It was easy to transport to rural areas & was required on all light aircraft (hence "pilot bread") as emergency rations.

This is an excellent question- I’m reminded of the time I couldn’t access an article through a library database so I searched the scholar’s name and emailed them asking if they had a copy they’d be willing to share. They did indeed share the article pdf!

For those not working in academia, how do you access peer reviewed research, if at all? How would you like to? How can academics get better at sharing findings?
