Dear historians/academics, let me say this in case you didn’t know:

* editors are here for every question, every concern, everything you need help with, not only throughout the publishing process but even before that

* there’s no “too early/weird/stupid to ask” - we’re like doctors that way ;)

Nothing makes me feel more awkwardly teeny/girly than waiving hello to serious grown-ups 🫣

A slight hiccup and stranded for a bit on Iceland, but really not complaining

Rabea Rittgerodt-Burke @rabeari.bsky.social · 14d

They’ve checked us and our luggage in with pen and paper, so everyone stop talking about the end of the printed book pls
It won’t be speedy, it might not be the most convenient, but it’ll always be reliable and secure ;)

Kind of mind-boggling that since Feb 25 everytime I’m going to a US conference and telling someone about it beforehand I add a disclaimer like „you know, IF they let me in“
