@ClaireClarkPhD @lmacthompson1 @drkyliesmith @LucRichert @HumanitiesMD I accomplished almost nothing when my kids were little (beyond keeping everyone alive), so there’s that too. Don’t expect too much. Let’s get coffee some time and talk.

@ClaireClarkPhD @lmacthompson1 @drkyliesmith @LucRichert @HumanitiesMD I think there is something to be said for “slow scholarship.” I’ve heard Amy Murrell Taylor describe her work that way. I find my inability to say no really boosts my productivity, but it’s not always good for my sanity. I’d rather take it slower.

I celebrated Women’s Equality Day by purchasing a new vintage photo. It has no identifying information so I’m just imagining who these women might have been and why they were posing. I think chances are good that some of them were suffragists.

@FAANews My daughter is a ballet dancer and she uses Jet glue and aerosole shellac to reinforce her shoes. Can she take these items in a checked bag?

[Melanie Beals Goan @MelanieGoan]

@SteffiGreenhill Hooray!
