@mambolica Happy Birthday!!!! 🥳🎂🎈

[Hillary Walker @HillaryJWalker]

@EphemeralErika Oh, a professional nightmare! After reading Guy de Maupassant’s “Who Knows” I’m ready for footstools to start hopping around! https://t.co/Og8dEDU7q0

[Hillary Walker @HillaryJWalker]

@EphemeralErika I’m curious now! Did the house become animated? Was the house at risk of being lost? Was it a deadly boring guided tour? Had the previous occupants come back? 👻

@mambolica @magmidd @aletheiajane @artiflection @RLPGBooks Ohhh!!! I’m super excited!!!

[Hillary Walker @HillaryJWalker]

@NtUrAvrgCistory I grew up visiting places like this all across the American Southwest!!! I love them!!

[Hillary Walker @HillaryJWalker]

@camillemarys Congratulations!!!! 🤩 you’re a rock star!

@camillemarys @NtUrAvrgCistory The Tom of Finland house in LA also looks great! I haven’t been there yet.

@camillemarys @NtUrAvrgCistory I’m a bit late to this discussion! Beauport, the Sleeper-McCann House is my favourite. They actively interpret sexuality there. Most of my other favs have already been listed. I know Historic New England is shifting the interpretation at the Sara Orne Jewett House towards queer

@mambolica @PhDVoice I did what @peskykilljoy, but in word. I found it useless and confusing. (Well, it did get familiar with my materials.) Much later in the whole process I learned about coding into excel and that made a lot of sense and is much easier to search.

We know a lot of people like and enjoy the new season of Bridgerton, but there are a some issues that really bother professional historians (us) so buckle up people, you're in for a ride.🧵(1/?)

@camillemarys 🤦‍♀️

The chapter I’m editing is beginning to feel like a murder mystery dinner party! 😵‍💫

[Hillary Walker @HillaryJWalker]

@mambolica The same thing happened to me! I had way too much info about way too many different parts of the story. Going this deep now will give you the grounding you need as you move forward. Remember to step back and look at the other parts as you swim freely in secrecy.

Alright my darlings, it’s time.
Time for this next installment of Unhinged Victorian Greeting Cards: VALENTINE’S DAY EDITION. ❤️

Let’s start with some tamer ones.

Previously featured fish and leek
Cannibal cottage
LOBSTER
Sentient boots (ft. straw and coins)

[Hillary Walker @HillaryJWalker]

@mambolica Looking forward to chatting about it this afternoon!

[Hillary Walker @HillaryJWalker]

@mambolica I think cookies are a critical part of dissertation writing!!

[Hillary Walker @HillaryJWalker]

@peskykilljoy I totally get that. Virtual runs still get you to your goal, but certainly lack the excitement and communal drive.

[Jorts (and Jean) @JortsTheCat]

I know a lot of us have worries right now. Let’s just try to make the best of things but also look at Jean. Looking at Jean usually makes me feel better

[Hillary Walker @HillaryJWalker]

@camillemarys I’m completely with you!
