Disability-based historian who is excited to be teaching some amazing students about dead people. Ask me about my dogs!
This dog is going to learn to drive before I do! #DogsOfBluesky
Thank you for the birthday wishes! I will look through joyful advice soon! But the most important part is obviously that the dogs had so much fun at the beach. #DogsOfBluesky #AcademicsWithDogs
Somewhere, the ex that told me if a woman didn't have children by the time she was 30 she may as well be dead is irritated & doesn't know why. (i hope the ex who told me fondly that she was sure I would be an old woman who wore purple with a red hat that doesn't go (complimentary) is thinking of me)
You can hear the exact moment I remember her ears are decorative, but enjoy this video of Footnote and Index chasing each other on the beach. #DogsOfBluesky
Hello I went to Goats on Roof and you'll never guess where the goats were.
Took thy dogs up to Neck Point to take dramatic photos of them looking out over the water and longing to return to the sea. Index does not like the water, but Footnote likes it enough for both of them. #DogsOfBluesky #AcademicsWithDogs
The sweet fluffy white puppy the size of my foot is perfect angel teddy. He goes to the spa regularly and then goes on long hikes in the woods. The black puppy with perfect face is Kira. She's the sweetest working dog whose job is to tell me how cute she is. Life is full of cute dogs.
So anyone wanna get excited with me about taking the dogs to neck point on Friday? I have never been! Imagine these dogs being happy!
Emotional breakdown averted, UofT press sent me a copy of One of the Boys: homosexuality in the military in ww2 to evaluate for my queer history class in the fall! I will put it right next to Awfully Devoted Women on my TBR this month!
Love this corgi button up so much. Still trying to figure out the best way to style it but today is Canada Day and I'm sure no one will care.
Forgive the bathroom selfie but this is the whole look. Except the feet, you gotta pay for that.
I still can't get over that someone gave this shirt to a thrift shop because it is the best button up in existence.
I heard some very intense ravens at the lake with the dogs yesterday! And today I saw a black eyed junco! I've never seen one before but I hear them! This is where we heard the ravens.
We are all very tired but we went for a nice walk around the big Lake. The dogs sniffed many many sniffs and Footnote got to go into the water where she belongs since she is secretly a merdog.
They both had a great time and we saw a big grab and a lot of tiny crabs and a starfish and another dog to play with!
Footnote is judging me for not being as fast as her getting up the stairs. If only I had four legs and decorative ears. #AcademicsWithDogs #DogsOfBluesky

Worst pic of this sweater but it's Almost midnight so we'll cope. Just like Tybalt, I hate hell, all Montagues, and stockinette. Just about to finish ball three. I have dreams of cabling because joy has to exist somewhere. 🧶
Footnote remind you to stop and smell the tiger lilies. #AcademicsWithDogs #DogsOfBluesky
My mother is only 5'2 (with eyes of blue) and yet this stockinette is going to kill me. How do people who don't like whining on the Internet about their knitting make it through???? 🧶 (the pattern is flax by tincan knits and it's a beginner sweater pattern.)
Waiting for them to call me in for The Vitamin!!!! In case you are not familiar with the Vitamin : For me The Vitamin is iron and it turns out that when your iron levels are very low you have no energy and get sad and cold and then they give you iron!!!!!!
