Dear Twitter,

I tried. But this platform just really isn’t my thing. It’s not you, it’s me.

Besides, I have a much more adorable distraction now.

I don't come on here much, but this is too important not to share. Sign the petition!

Here’s for backup plans!!

Also options (in no particular order): duck farmer in Nova Scotia, bed & breakfast in PEI, wilderness adventure camp in Newfoundland & Labrador, and (of course) Instagram famous puppy!!!

Six months from today I will submit the full draft of my dissertation.

(sorry in advance for having zero bandwidth to spare and ignoring everything else!!!)

[Kristine Palmieri @Kris_Palmieri]

Retweeting this just so I have a way to easily access it when I inevitably reference this in conversation and none of my non-academic friends know what the f*** I'm on about.

[Kristine Palmieri @Kris_Palmieri]

I'm back! (briefly post conference) and decided to stop lurking because this is too good not to share.

watching "Dismantling White Supremacism" from #HST20 after the fact - PHENOMENAL resources with concrete actions for the path forward - this is inspiring & energizing

all I can say is THANK YOU to the organizers & participants

@PatrciaMMarcos the little old ladies in Lisbon are in better shape than I am from all of those hills!! I would be taking a break to rest my legs and they just sashay past me with 10 kilos of groceries!

Takeaway from Futures I: get your own house in order first! Many on this session are in positions of power in their own departments-they can decide to make changes #HSSFutures #HST20

[Kristine Palmieri @Kris_Palmieri]

In case anyone wants to know why I will not be turning on my camera during the many phenomenal #HST20 sessions that I am attending, someone doesn’t like it when I „ignore“ him

[Kristine Palmieri @Kris_Palmieri]

also, this not being able to edit tweets thing is doing my head in.

Typos, typos everywhere!!!

for all the adorable dog pic, follow Friedrich Max Müller, puppy extraordinary on instagram! @beaglemaxmueller.

Methinks the chronicle is being a bit salty today. (I’m totally here for it!!)

[The Chronicle of Higher Education @chronicle]

Some people dislike ‘Latinx’ as a new word. But at some point in human history there were no words. Now there are words. Someone invented them. This process continues. https://t.co/QavU9N1ueq

THIS IS SO IMPORTANT!

graduate students and PhDs in contingent/insecure employment situations cannot (and should not be expected to) do all the work.

People in positions of power at their institutions need to step up.

[Kristine Palmieri @Kris_Palmieri]

@EMGurevitch

[Kristine Palmieri @Kris_Palmieri]

I couldnt agree more. As I and my collaborators point out in an upcoming HSS Newsletter feature on graduate student unionization, we need to advocate for the employment rights of ALL historians of science (and ALL historians, and ALL academics) or we're toast! @HSSGECC @hssonline

in other news, when I read the origins of totalitarianism in high school I said that it needed to be updated with a section on the USA.

I was repeatedly told that I was overreacting and being dramatic/hysterical.

past me, you called it.
