@DavidAstinWalsh @zackbeauchamp Time doesn't exist on public transit. I don't make the rules 😅

@DavidAstinWalsh I loved Gourmet Heaven for sandwiches, Sherkaan for Indian. Although I last lived there in 2014 so who knows if those places are even still there.

@TimeG16762122 @tonyannett Too much to tweet. I recommend reading Down Girl by Kate Manne!

@DavidAstinWalsh Except writing is a form of technology... I'll see myself out

@lportwoodstacer Book publicist, here! This is the first section I read when I’m looking at a new book proposal. It informs my reading of all the other sections.

@laurenfturek Once I pitched an author for a book event at the National Archives who had not consulted their sources while researching. I still live with the shame to this day.

@sofiaxaguilar I find that the buzz of activity becomes white noise. And I’ve always worked most efficiently when I’m sharing an environment with other people who are also working.

Day 1 of staffing the @Georgetown_UP booth at #ISA2023: great success 😊 looking forward to checking out the other booths this week!
