@Lady_Historian Folsom Prison Blues is about needing a train.

@ChristySColeman The American women sculptors who lived in Rome in the 1850s and 1860s would make a great sexy limited series or series of graphic novels.

Obama killing all of his houseplants is the most I’ve ever related to a president

@mlobelart This is why it's great to work in an art school where all of your students have personal hands-on experience with each technique.

[Dr. Sarah Beetham @SarahBeetham]

@B1RDERGIRL @dendroica Thank you so much for tagging me, and for your remembrance of John. As we approach one year without him, I've been thinking of him a lot and it means a great deal to me to know that his friends are thinking of him too.

@Lady_Historian I feel like I remember reading somewhere that the HDTV shows push a lot of open plan renovations because they thought more men would watch if they smashy smashy the walls.

@drszucker Gorgeous photos! I always thought he looked a bit like the elderly Buster Keaton in A Funny Thing Happened On the Way to the Forum.

Lack of an American sculptural tradition compelled Jefferson to look to France for this portrait of Washington. New video about Houdon’s Washington in Richmond, with thanks to Sarah Beetham (@SarahBeetham), https://t.co/yIcHEKkHM3

@TylerGreenBooks @pennmuseum That is shocking. @pennmuseum should be ashamed for owning that collection at all.

I very much enjoyed traveling to #Richmond a few weeks ago with @bethrharris and @drszucker to record videos for @Smarthistory!

Here's the first one: a conversation about the #RobertELee statue that was removed two days ago https://t.co/XxRqXxylwa

[Smarthistory @Smarthistory]

The Robert E. Lee Monument in Richmond was removed yesterday. Learn about it with @SarahBeetham in a new #Smarthistory video recorded just weeks ago: https://t.co/9PpLnQHIpc

I've had this sticker on my laptop for so long, and today it came true.

[Dr. Sarah Beetham @SarahBeetham]

@Renaissance9944 @rgay I just lost my brother to epilepsy two months ago. He was 43 and I miss him terribly. I'm so sorry for both of your losses. Losing a sibling is such a terrible thing.

[Dr. Sarah Beetham @SarahBeetham]

@intersectionist The Knick has the greatest ending to a TV show that I have ever seen.

[Dr. Sarah Beetham @SarahBeetham]

@K_ParnellJr I like movie soundtracks for writing. Generally no words, so that doesn't distract me, and the music is usually pleasant but repetitive enough that it fades into the background. Depends on your taste, but the Gettysburg and LOTR soundtracks work well for me.

[Dr. Sarah Beetham @SarahBeetham]

@Retracharas That's amazing! I want one.

[Dr. Sarah Beetham @SarahBeetham]

@Laprofmme There have been a number of instances of contractors being targeted by white supremacists after participating in monument removals. Given how high-profile Charlottesville is, I don't blame them for being cautious.

[Dr. Sarah Beetham @SarahBeetham]

What wonderful news today - congratulations Charlottesville! #CvilleStatuesDown

[@jalaneschmidt.bsky.social📚👩🏾‍🏫🇺🇦🇨🇦🇬🇱🍉 @Jalane_Schmidt]

As the crane moves into position to remove Charlottesville's Lee statue, 3 Black women in City leadership (police chief, Mayor @NikuyahWalkerCC, student activist @ZyahnaB) speak to the press about symbolic 1st steps to eradicating white supremacy. #Cvillestatuesdown
