election day is tuesday.

it is equally, if not more important, to vote in local elections than it is to vote in national ones. local is where progress can happen quickly, mistakes can be fixed and you can have real power on the future direction your town takes.

We must remove Confederate symbols that distort history and insult the memory of those who fought for liberty and unity across the U.S. - including the Confederate memorial at @ArlingtonNatl.

“Do you remember your favorite teachers? They were probably the ones who wanted to learn your name; who had a warm smile; who made you feel that they were glad to be there to help you learn. No matter how old or young we are,we learn best from people who care about us.”

[Austin McCoy @AustinMcCoy3]

So, #twitterstorians I'm strongly considering hiring a developmental editor for my academic book. Any ideas?
