after one of the most difficult years of my life, today i turned in a 23,000 word thesis that’ll allow me to graduate from harvard with honors.

[brooke! @brookejmart]

someone: brooke, why did you switch from focusing more on 19th century history to mid 20th century?

me, shutting a folder full of a dozen pieces of paper that all look like this: no reason

[brooke! @brookejmart]

major emotional stride today: put all of my zotero folders in a new collection called “undergrad” and started a new “grad school” collection 🥲

[brooke! @brookejmart]

“moving” to “england” for “grad school” today

[brooke! @brookejmart]

so apparently the community of postgrads at my graduate college is called the “middle common room,” or MCR…i can’t stop reading it as my chemical romance

[brooke! @brookejmart]

considering getting my phd just so i can be a Doc Martin in Doc Martens

something new in the bio 👀

[Harvard Magazine @HarvardMagazine]

96.75% of #NativeAmerican remains in the Peabody Museum's collection have information that will allow Tribal consultation and #repatriation. Instead, HPM has labeled them "culturally unidentifiable," shifting the burden to Tribes to prove affiliation.

A little over four years ago, I was severely depressed, deeply closeted, and unsure if I would ever make it out of my tiny hometown.

Today I’m out, happier than I’ve ever been, and I’m graduating with honors from Harvard.

It really can get better, man.

THREAD: The Ku Klux Klan had a chapter at Harvard University in the 1920s; in 1952, students held a cross burning in Harvard Yard.

After a year's worth of research, I attempted to construct a history of the KKK's long presence at Harvard. https://t.co/6aUaslHTES 1/

@theemirielle amazing!!!!!!! would love to read it :)

[brooke! @brookejmart]

just thinking about how my dept has refused any coursework accommodations for seniors other than dropping the thesis entirely, so that if people didn’t want to lose the research project they’d planned for years, they’d be expected to perform to already-high non-pandemic levels...

[brooke! @brookejmart]

the situation at yale is so upsettingly tragic and distressingly relatable. these institutions fail students’ mental and emotional health again and again.
