First draft - I sewed myself this top today from a $2 thrift store piece of fabric to try out the #allwellboxtop pattern - I’ve never made myself a shirt before but everyone was right that the pattern was well written, and now that I’ve figured out a few tweaks I want to try some more! Figuring out how to finish the neckline was the hardest part.

PhD coursework: complete! Now (after a deep breath), on to comps/candidacy exams. This photo, best I could do, represents under half my reading list, because covid changes have me simultaneously relying on, grateful for, and critically examining the interface of many, many digital texts. The rest live in Zotero, and my tablet. Reading in many forms.

Black lives matter. Listen to people whose experiences are different and believe them. Read books that challenge your comfortable status quo, and take the time to think about them. And vote, and help others to do so as well. I commit to these actions, as small and inadequate as they feel right now.

Makers unite! My 1970s handmedown sewing machine and I figuring out how to do our part to fight COVID, making lots and lots of buttonholes in the elastic straps for our local 3D printed PPE effort. Glad to be one small part of this big process. More to come!

Some welcome news in challenging times. Thanks to all of the reviewers giving their time (the most precious commodity) to the essay competition process.

Splicing together my first podcast - a quick overview of some digital humanities methods and methodologies — some cameos from my family thanks to #covid_19, we are all doing our best to get through this with a smile.

The past two months’ pre-sleep reading has been my third, maybe fourth time in life reading Little Women, and I finished today - I was genuinely delighted to confirm how much of Greta Gerwig’s screenplay was created from passages in the book dialogue, and to finally have a chance to enjoy this annotated copy given to me by @rebekah_tilley for my birthday 2 years ago.

First presentation for grad classes this semester

First presentation for grad classes this semester is beginning to take shape! It’s on some 300-year-old women’s magazines, which to be honest is all new material for me. I’m learning a lot! #pagingDrSorgeWay #18cperiodicals

Least favorite job ever but the ceiling is fully d

Least favorite job ever but the ceiling is fully dried out post popcorn removal. I finished that step earlier this summer, it truly takes forever and I have learned the hard way that if you paint the ceiling too soon after removing popcorn you run the risk of all that paint peeling off which is so demoralizing! I have 4 hours today while the kids are in school, so I’m giving it a shot - i would very much like to have this office truly finished before I head back to work and classes Monday. (Walls and trim are already done, very backwards system because of the popcorn ceiling aftermath dry time.)

Ground level view of grad school workflow right no

Ground level view of grad school workflow right now: I read 95% of my coursework readings as PDFs on my iPad, marking them up with an Apple Pencil to replicate the pen and paper note taking I’ve always preferred, typing notes and responses on a nearby laptop as I go. All this will change up some when on-grounds summer classes start Monday but for now it’s going well. (Blue-blocker glasses to mitigate all these screens.)
