@McPCivilWar Same. American YWAP all the way. I’ve used it for US survey courses but first volume covers that whole period. Some of my students went out of their way to tell me how much they liked it lol

@MelissaFordPhD @CarnegieSciCtr That’s great to see! She definitely does. Don’t tell my advisors but I’m still working on telling her story in my “free” time.

[Alysha Federkeil @alfederkeil]

@rebeccawingo I apologized after the terrifying glare I received!

[Alysha Federkeil @alfederkeil]

@rebeccawingo I take partial credit for this feat.

[Alysha Federkeil @alfederkeil]

@McPCivilWar *in Cincinnati

[Alysha Federkeil @alfederkeil]

@MelissaFordPhD Day one? How many days are there?

[Alysha Federkeil @alfederkeil]

@rebeccawingo I would never throw it away. It is my life’s mission to find o it what’s on it… It is however in the grad lounge.

[Alysha Federkeil @alfederkeil]

@rebeccawingo Is five the one you gave to me for getting my masters?

[Alysha Federkeil @alfederkeil]

@Reese_Whitely Thank you!!!

Updating my Twitter bio to “PhD candidate” got me through comps this past week and I officially made that change today. 🥳🎉🥳

@s_e_murray @rebeccawingo @berincole Close. I have tater tots.

[Alysha Federkeil @alfederkeil]

@MaddenAmanda @rebeccawingo My question is, can I bring my cat to assist with the snake killing? (Or for any reason actually. I just feel like she would help.)

[Alysha Federkeil @alfederkeil]

@rebeccawingo @mozangeles31 It did. Thank you!

Saw a squirrel eating a donut on campus. I’m obsessed and jealous.

I don’t care one way or the other about the British Royal family but I will say that placing all the horrors of colonialism at the feet of the monarchy is a gross over simplification of history and is letting every other part of British society off the hook.

[Alysha Federkeil @alfederkeil]

@MelissaFordPhD Well, I just picked up leave in conditioner to drink out of instead of my water bottle so you’re not alone. Haha

[Alysha Federkeil @alfederkeil]

@rebeccawingo I’m taking that to mean winter break is almost here.*

*Because you’re my advisor that is a joke and I’m working very hard.

Research is difficult. One minute I’m on task and the next I’m way too invested in a convoluted political, judicial, and racial conflict instigated by an alleged chicken theft. 1930s Pittsburgh was something else. #twitterstorians

[Alysha Federkeil @alfederkeil]

@rebeccawingo Jokes on you. I’m done with classes.

[Alysha Federkeil @alfederkeil]

@rebeccawingo You know you’re not funny when you have to count laughter as participation.
