My first read of 2025 has set a pretty high bar for the rest of the year. Ta-nehisi Coates continues to be one of the most thoughtful (and thought-provoking) voices of my generation

Another thing I did not expect to encounter at #AHA25: a show of force by the NYPD when 50 or so historians gathered on the sidewalk outside the Hilton to call for an end to scholasticide in Gaza. I sincerely hope it wasn't @historians.org who called them out.

As much as I'd like to claim that I exercised incredible restraint and self-control in the #AHA25 Exhibit Hall, the truth is that a) these were the only two David Graeber titles they had, and b) I don't even have room for these two in my luggage 🤣

One thing I did not expect at #AHA25 was to look across the room and see @hcrichardson.bsky.social. I (very awkwardly) asked for a selfie. It's not every day you get to meet your hero and tell her she's the main reason you are on the path you're on.

My first official session at #AHA25 was a powerful reminder of the reason I am choosing to become a historian. What a way to start this conference!

First day of #AHA25 and I realized I forgot to pack a notebook so I had to buy the only one they had in the hotel gift shop. Seems appropriate for a history conference though, especially if anyone talks about Jefferson 😂
