@drdominee @kkdumez @AndreaLTurpin @drleahpayne @anxious_bench Don’t have to tear it if you’re using the whole roll!

[Emily Suzanne Johnson @esj312]

@AndreaLTurpin @drdominee @drleahpayne @anxious_bench @kkdumez I was careful about that! The idea that it’s in the books is apocryphal. But she did mention it on talk show appearances. She said that it came from a participant in one of her seminars, but the public heard it from her.

Does the prof footnote in _their_ scholarship that they're the sort of person who gives out this advice?

[J. Logan Smilges @jlsmilges]

A professor in grad school told me I needed to footnote that I’m gay in my scholarship in order to be honest with readers about my bias.

There was once a newspaper called "Lucifer, the Light Bearer," founded in 1883, in Kansas, in the tiny town of Valley Falls, where most of the streets are named after women. Welcome to today's research journey.

There's a lot of good FREE stuff to read on this list, including my chapter about the one and only Tammy Faye Bakker!

@profsamperry Thank you, Sam. I was holding my breath over here and it was starting to get dangerous.

I’m at a drag/burlesque show but there’s an hour of bingo before hand because the local gay bar is as Midwestern as it is queer.

#PrideMonth throwback to that time the community was boycotting Coors and orange juice and led by a man named Milk.

As a homeowner, it is perfectly normal that I would write "pay Plumbers" on my to-do list. As a historian of politics in the Nixon era, though, it looks pretty sus.
