Thrilled to be presenting so much Philly History on migration, urban life, policing and protest at #AHA23 later this week! Here are a few historic neighborhoods that have inspired my research on community activism and resiliency that newcomers to the city should learn about🧵:

Fascinating! @Christy_SpaceHW doing cool work w GIS in modeling enslaved freedom seekers in the Great Dismal Swamp. Struck by subversion of intended use of colonial datasets & proprietary, nonneutral (arguably imperial) tools like ArcGIS for liberatory meaning-making #AHA23 #s194

As I took some time to get inspired by Digital History projects, I came across a brilliant one. “Brazilian Portraits” is housed at @BrownUniversity Library Collections: https://t.co/AXYoGzMpvX. Follow my thread to get to know more about it!

@RobertHaisfield @RoamResearch I'm curious what your embedded query looks like in Obsidian for this example. Currently wrestling with this kind of "display where [a AND b] OR [a AND c AND x]" situation

[Yours truly, Cynthia Heider @comebackcities]

Hey, yeah, no thanks. See y'all... IRL?

@bikemamadelphia My first thought was "Welcome to Wrexham" publicity stunt

[Yours truly, Cynthia Heider @comebackcities]

@dorothyjberry Yeah for sure. I've started thinking of this phenom as "emotional hangovers." Hope yours subsides soon ☺️

[Yours truly, Cynthia Heider @comebackcities]

@ess_ell_zee @SolidarityHist That's amazing! You're amazing! I'm so excited for your excitement and I am wishing you lots of rest and self-care time to recuperate from the stress. Onward and upward!

@ehkopin Post-Flash Neopia sounds intimidating! Is there still an omelette to harvest?

[Yours truly, Cynthia Heider @comebackcities]

@ess_ell_zee I say this because I did this - not because I think there's anything wrong with your couch! (unless there is, in which case, f that couch)

[Yours truly, Cynthia Heider @comebackcities]

@ess_ell_zee Ritter Sport with Cornflakes (my fave!!), haircut, a new couch lol

Hey check it out, how clever is this

[Yours truly, Cynthia Heider @comebackcities]

Informed by a customer service rep at @MannCenter that refunds are "on hold" until it's been sorted whether @courtneymelba & @lucydacus can reschedule at this venue in the fall. Asked when the Mann will communicate this to customers or offer other options?: "Maybe next week."
