Look I hate posting links to Twitter but if you're an (American) football fan just watch this clip. You're not supposed to throw across your body. You're not supposed to throw the ball while jumping. Neither of these are things that you're supposed to have success doing. Doing them both together in one play? Josh Allen is a special man.

#introduction #histodons Hi to all in this new #mastodon #history space. I'm a historian of #women in the Americas & professor at a large public with a diverse student body. Concerned about #reproductivejustice, access to #childcare, #votingrights, #foodinsecurity. Love working with folks beyond the academia to connect with the histories of women & girls. When I'm not grading you can find me in our #organicgarden, on a #prairiehike, and avoiding grading.

It's not enough to squat a Mastodon handle that you never use.

It's not enough to automatically repost your Twitter timeline.

You have a chance to be part of something new. Something important. To shape it in the right way.

With all of us.

Breathe life into *this* community and *this* network by posting here, creating here, connecting here.

Be here now.

For those interested, the link is to my annotated copy of today’s opinion from the 11th Circuit, dismissing the special master appointed by Aileen Cannon on ground that she wholly wrongly took jurisdiction over the case in the first place. I’ve annotated with the aim of making the opinion, which is clearly written anyway, even more accessible to non-lawyers. #lawFedi #ruleOfLaw #11thCircuit #appellateLaw drive.google.com/file/d/1B7kUU

I absolutely despise the suburban habit of driving your big SUV one thousand feet to pick up your kids at the bus stop.

Nice! PocketCasts did a Spotify Wrapped like recap of everything I listened to in the past year. Here's mine:

I want to recommend @kathleenbelew, whose commentary, especially in the wake of the Oath Keeper indictment, is really important.

Today America took a step forward in recognizing and protecting the rights of the LGBT community. We still have a long way to go as a country to recognize everyone's basic rights but this is a positive step forward. It was only 7 years ago that SCOTUS ruled in Obergefell v Hodges in a 5-4 decision.

I often am asked by people fleeing anti-trans states, "where should I move to?"

I created the anti-trans legislative risk map to help answer that question.

I am releasing my first post-election legislative risk map today. Subscribe to support my work.

Going forward I think I'll be trying to limit myself to favoriting the types of posts that I agree with instead of boosting them. That's an acknowledgement that doesn't spread them further which feels appropriate to me. My goal here is to be more conscious about what I am promoting here in the .

One exception that I expect to make for this: support for marginalized communities. Human dignity should not be negotiable and neither should our support.

I saw a post from the other day that I can't get out of my head. It was a request to stop boosting vague platitudes into their feed (you know the type, "boost if X", "billionaires are policy failures" etc). Originally I thought this was a silly attitude, but lately I've been thinking about the way in which the posts are often a form of digital grandstanding and often a way of racking up interactions on algorithmic social media. This action is a vestige of other environs we've been trained on.
