It’s my Uni’s parents weekend. Instead of going to the football game and tailgates, I took them to museums around NYC!!

As I watch everything unfold in the states from afar, I am reminded of why I am a registered independent.

So now that Maduro was arrested…when will Bibi get arrested?

I’m the exception!!!!
I learned to write cursive in grade 3. It is unfortunately becoming a rare skill

[The War on Beauty @thewaronbeauty]

This is actually true. This article from the Atlantic by the former President of Harvard said 2/3rds of her undergrad history class couldn’t read cursive which hindered their ability to read historical manuscripts.

She even says students chose research subjects that only required published sources and abandoned ones that required reading handwritten documents.

I wish I was a New York City resident so I could vote for Zohran Mamdani this fall

Can we seriously bring back letter locking?

[✨Catherine Williams✨ @CatherineVWill]

I couldn’t have chosen a better way to spend the Saturday before my MA at UCL, a tower tour of Winchester Cathedral. Great way to see Winchester btw!

[✨Catherine Williams✨ @CatherineVWill]

Today is my first day of international student orientation week at UCL and I am so excited!!!!

[✨Catherine Williams✨ @CatherineVWill]

I know the masters tools won’t destroy the master’s house but can we theorize new tools that don’t require assassination?

[✨Catherine Williams✨ @CatherineVWill]

I just got my finances in order before moving for my MA and it was just a little too easy

[✨Catherine Williams✨ @CatherineVWill]

I’m looking forward to the new season of King of the Hill

Historian here, who also happens to be French-Canadian!! So much historical misinformation in this TikTok argument for the existence of a settler colony.

Amidst the sheer chaos from Gaza, LA and everywhere in between, we can take a page from the 1590s and think long and hard about what it means to have sovereignty over one’s self and others.

Feminists, what radicalized you?

[✨Catherine Williams✨ @CatherineVWill]

Lately I’ve been working from the Folger post-renovations and I have to say, I think the best new perks are the fridge in the locker room and the comfortable chairs in the reading room!

[✨Catherine Williams✨ @CatherineVWill]

@allo_nothing Thank you!!!

[✨Catherine Williams✨ @CatherineVWill]
