I used to think people weren’t being serious when they said that a high earning spouse was necessary if you want to go into public history. It turns out they actually were serious about that, oops.

At work we’re discussing whether a dirty artifact is just dirty or if the clearly outlined historical finger grease is ~patina~ to be preserved forever

Got out of my evening class after a 12 hour day to find my car not starting on the top floor of the parking garage. And there’s a hurricane coming tomorrow. Everything is great tho. 🫠

Sometimes you’re hungry at work but all you have is some historically accurate 19th century candy in the break room

Today is the anniversary of the United Fruit Company massacre against striking workers on the Colombian Caribbean coast in 1928. Between 1000 and 2000 banana pickers were killed in a bloodbath. The company responsible is known today as 'Chiquita.'

Huge shoutout to the history major wearing a Giles Corey shirt to class today. Incredible.
We’re accessioning a time capsule at work today and all I can think of is this scene from Parks and Rec which is, again, a documentary.
Watching people thoughtfully engage with an exhibit you curated is the coolest feeling in the world.
