I'm terrified of sharing my writing lol

But, I would suggest Groundwork by Jeanne Theoharis and Boston Before Busing by Zebulon Vance Miletsky. There aren't any actual books or real articles about Melnea unfortunately

And that is what my paper is about! lolol

Melnea is awesome, but I didn't know much about Ruth previously. She's awesome too. Ironically I was finishing up my paper while we were hosting a METCO event here at the library and I was writing about Day Hicks lol

Thanks!

One about Melnea Cass/Ruth Batson and one about Long Island Hospital and Alice North Lincoln as a reformer of it.

There are driverless trains in Denmark and have been since at least 2017. It was smooth and fast and safe and I don't think there was any AI involved.

Awesome, thanks!
We have limited time for vacations since my husband is a 9th grade teacher so we end up in weird places at weird times sometimes. Got snowed on in Denmark lol

I miss Scotland, spent 5 weeks in the Outer Hebrides and a week in Glasgow for a dig eons ago, but Eric has never been. Might try again in the summer, maybe while the entire country is in Boston for the World Cup lolol

We would be looking for April. Went to Quebec City in December and that was wicked cold and nice

And yet, if it is made of real human hair...it still needs the oils to be flexible! lolol

I think he is just committed to a bit at this point and knows no other way to exist. I think he would be more rock if he just went bald

So many men need to learn about VO5 and keratin treatments for their hair. I cannot even fathom what it feels like to attempt to brush that mess on his head.

Is he willing to share the files? That would be amazing
December 7, 2025 at 3:21 PM
Yeah, my advisor/ta is wicked blunt and very academic while I'm more anthro/public history so we clash in that way. Husband is an English teacher with history knowledge so he's a good conduit.

I also am going to get drunk tonight. I fucking deserve it.

Same girl

I bucked up enough to have my husband look at my paper and my teacher's edits and I'm just so eeeeeeeeeeehhhhh

I have until Wednesday so...¯\_(ツ)_/¯

We were often the ones who the proto citizens found to ask for help (our funny hats gave them a clue) and they were almost entirely completely nervous and jazzed at the same time. So much hard work wiped away because the people in charge have no ability to think critically and want to hurt people.

Just don't lick it!
