As part of the 75th Anniversary of Gregory H. Swanson's successful case to desegregate the University of Virginia, I created a Storymap.

We bought a scanner to go through/digitize old family slides during a long-overdue visit back East. My sister and I opened up boxes that we haven’t looked at in decades—slides and photos of our dad’s time stationed in a mobile radio unit (?) in Sendai, Japan (1955-56) + early family trips

A fascinating read on the history of purple dye! #DHmakes 💜

Every cut that the government makes to social services is effectively a tax on women. Because they're the ones who will be expected to fill in the gaps.

wdym, it's the opposite. i've been feeding off your writing glow to get the dissertation done 😂 🫶
