Disability-based historian. I defended my dissertation and now I'm not sure what to do with myself. I guess publish it. Ask me about my dogs.

Why do historians buy so many books? Is there an "end" to Canadian history? What does it mean to "do history" and why are edited collections an important part of that? What my first book haul video and find out!

Chris, I spent my afternoon teaching about 19th century industrialization and how it changed the lives of widows & orphans, I can't handle this. Surely it's actually AI and they are playing a trick on us and any day now I'll wake up from this nightmare.

I could hire an etsy witch.

Is this AI?

$500 cdn. Which I do not have. But I have a credit card! :D?

But what if I did need a loom? For my mental health? :D? :D?

:(

Dr. Joanna and her Evil Hellhounds @jlphistory.bsky.social · 30m

Will someone please tell me not to buy a "wooden 8 shaft Woolhouse Airloom table loom (made in Armstrong)" since I cannot afford it and do not have a place to put it and also do not have time for another craft? There will be more looms. looooooom. :(

I really need to get a proper full-length mirror set up because I'm going to be wearing so many cute dresses this month. My vibes are worth pledging allegiance to (if you know what I mean and I think you do).

I'm so cute in this selfie. I'm wearing a Polka dot dress and little death earrings because I'm killing it!

My students today are reading an article from the 1970s that has this whole "have historians considered not pathologizing same sex relationships when they study the past" thing going on it in and I wonder what they'll think of that.

Coworking on twitch. I would like to also send the dogs away but alas.

Dr. Joanna and her Evil Hellhounds @jlphistory.bsky.social · 5h

Remembering this existed improved my mood

Dr. Joanna and her Evil Hellhounds @jlphistory.bsky.social · 5h

Yes! They made my dogs happy too.

Just a reminder that today, instead of listening to a podcast, we could listen to this amazing power metal cover of Northwest Passage by Release the Archers. The lead singer's voice is amazing.

It's CanCon! So it's cultural and important.

Y'all, I think I saw some quail running across the road this morning. Footnote kept trying to join them in their wild revels so I couldn't get a pic. They were so cute! And there were so many of them!

I have a wolf suggestion that staying up till 1:30 is not compatible with getting up at 6. At least not for me.

This is how I feel about my phone. I want to know what's happening, but I'm clearly not learning it by scrolling.

I've read about classes where there's students leaning against the back wall because there's no longer space to sit on the floor. In Calgary!

I once again regret to inform you that cleaning up my filthy depression hovel has improved my mood.
Don't get me wrong - my depression has not been helped by daily walks in the sunshine or touching grass, but it's possible the "clean space" thing might have some merit.
So annoying.

Canadian friends! This is a small thing we can do to keep reminding the federal government that we care about these issues. They can't claim it's not important if the petition gets a lot of signatures. They are OUR government and we need to hold them to account!

Dr. Kristopher Wells @drkristopherwells.bsky.social · 20h

Sign the new House of Commons e-petition calling on the Government of Canada to strengthen protections for LGBTQ+ people worldwide and reaffirm Canada’s role as a safe haven.

Thank you to MP Rob Oliphant for sponsoring this important petition.

Teachers contribute to the economy through their labour, their paycheques, and allowing parents to go to work outside the home! If you care about students & the economy pay the teachers what they're worth and hire a bunch more of them! Much easier!

This is from Alberta's finance minister claiming that they'll force teachers back to work if there's "irreparable harm" to Alberta's students and economy - but apparently won't just meet teacher's demands to ensure there's no harm. 41 students in a class! That's the harm, bro!

I don't want to live in a world that doesn't have Dolly in it. It's bad enough we live in a world without Carrie Fisher.

Guess we’re all praying for Dolly now.
