It's out, y'all!!
Come read my many findings on how Spain's policies regarding the Spanish Civil War and Franco dictatorship fit into European memory politics -- then tell me your thoughts, because there's still so much more to say about it!

Temporary return to the bird app to ask an important survey question:

Have you ever put sugar into plain yogurt to make it yummier?

Ha muerto Martín Díaz Muñoz. En una fosa en Palencia aparecieron los restos de su madre, Catalina Muñoz, y su sonajero.

El fascismo arrasó con vidas, sueños, proyectos colectivos e infancias.

Esta es la canción que le dedicó Joaquín Carbonell. https://t.co/d7llkht7tu

Thank the gods I’m Salmantina.

@chapt5to8 Noooo!

[Julia López @ThatOtherJLo]

@chapt5to8 I’ve literally graded a paper and a half today. 😭

[Julia López @ThatOtherJLo]

I love ninth-graders.

[Julia López @ThatOtherJLo]

Teaching high school is your students making fun of you for driving the speed limit in the same conversation as they suggest you take your spouse on a date to the mall.
I honestly love it.

[Julia López @ThatOtherJLo]

We’ve got some serious “late May” energy going on in my freshman world history class this early April…

[Julia López @ThatOtherJLo]

@chapt5to8 Same here!
Want to grade together this week?

[Julia López @ThatOtherJLo]

@varsha_venkat_ Every once in a while, I make a comment about my “republican” husband (in reference to Spanish politics, my being a royal subject, etc), and only after the fact does it occur to me that my American interlocutors may be completely misunderstanding my story. 🤷🏻‍♀️

[Julia López @ThatOtherJLo]

@hefreund I feel like @czeltsman would be the person to ask?

[Julia López @ThatOtherJLo]

Spaniards decided “Europe” means democracy.

[Prof. Brian Keating @Briankeating]

Your PhD thesis in five words.

Go!

[Julia López @ThatOtherJLo]

@TheOtherRBG @torylynn I want to play!!!

[Julia López @ThatOtherJLo]

There are no words for how little I want to grade right now.

What are your tips and tricks for motivating yourself to get through seemingly endless piles of essay grading?

[Julia López @ThatOtherJLo]

@cdchambs I played that same film for my high school sophomores (also in world history), and they did just fine.
Feel free to tell your students that in case the comparison helps them deal.

Friends, it turns out I had MANY symptoms, but because they weren’t as bad as they’d been before I’d started being medicated at all, I’d assumed they were how I was meant to feel. In reality, I just never figured out what baseline was actually meant to be.

[Julia López @ThatOtherJLo]

One of the weird things that happens when you’re diagnosed with a chronic disease as a child is that you never learn how “normal” is meant to feel, so it takes you 15 years to figure out things like your toes always being cold is in fact not “normal” and means your meds are off.

[Julia López @ThatOtherJLo]

It also took 15 years for a doctor to look at my labs and say “if you feel good like this, great, but just so you know, your numbers are twice what they should be,” prompting me to say “oh, but I don’t have any symptoms.”
