Hi, new followers! I’m Stephanie (she/her). I’m a History Ph.D. student with lots of overlapping subject interests. I did my M.A. thesis at NYU on the Whiskey Rebellion (maptherebellion.com) and I’m obsessed with early American material culture, especially food culture! (1/3)

As a pregnant woman who hasn’t had a headache in the 22 weeks I’ve been pregnant, I have one today. Irony!

Benjamin Franklin wearing a coonskin cap while being received by the French court. "Proper" attire at the time would have been a powdered wig, but Franklin enjoyed playing up his "rustic" American identity. On these trips, he asked for military support for newly independent US.

“Occasionally, in times of worry, I’ve longed to be stylish, but on second thought I say no—just let me be myself—and express rough, yet true things with rough workmanship.”
— Vincent van Gogh
In times of doubt, listen to #VanGogh—born March 30, 1853—and just be yourself. ❤️

At least Sisyphus never had to deal with people emailing him new boulders that they could have pushed up the hill themselves.

People like to recall how on August 20, 1866, Andrew Johnson declared that the Southern insurrection was formally at an end.
But why do so?

I will be discontinuing my history Ph.D. research so I can focus on more feminine pursuits, such as kitties and doggies.
24 Jun 2023
are there instances of women becoming obsessed with historic events? definitely a male preoccupation with certain phases of history (Civil War, Nazis, Hitler) & reenactments of battles. women may obsess over reading, music & dance, kitties, doggies, clothes, gardening, men.
