#utahjuneteenth a 🧵 What does Juneteenth have to do with Utah history? Utah remained loyal to the Union during the Civil War so we might think that Juneteenth does not involve Utah but we'd be wrong. 1/16

idk how, but Cambridge caused this

Honestly really proud of Utah’s position here. It’s always great to see us on the right side of history.

1 yes to all of this 2 it makes me SO ANGRY when people dismiss Mormon art because it’s also rooted in dismissing pop music, genre fiction, musical theatre, illustration, children’s books, graphic design, (traditionally) women’s art/textiles, etc. but that’s all REAL art!!

I can honestly say that this is the hardest I have ever worked at anything in my whole entire life and I stand by that

Boy math is saying women are the more faithful ones and yet only men should be in charge of the church.

I AM SO EXCITED FOR THIS CONFERENCE! If your interests are anywhere near disability studies, neuro-diversity and children’s literature, PLEASE give CripKidLit a follow!

seeing my entire dissertation corpus here was such a jump scare 💀💀 (but also what a great slide for a class)

*sigh* Listen y'all, the Nephites were racist In the Book of Mormon, the Nephites—including the narrators of the text—were violently racist misogynists. & they got annihilated *explicitly because* they would not stop being violently racist misogynists. That's the whole plot.

living in fear that I’m at the point in dissertation writing where going to start tweeting again out of sheer desperation. pray for me.

Not Liz Busby combining children’s literature AND religious storytelling in Wayfare’s newest issue!!! I love this article and how Liz talks about Narnia and stories so much open.substack.com/pub/wayfare/p/…

Officially the point in my dissertation-writing-process that I am procrastinating my writing by starting a substack to write about writing. Cringe. On Subjects open.substack.com/pub/emmatuelle…

love that they made a regency version of Bridget Jones — maybe they could try remaking Clueless next?

it’s good to see that, even in these troubling times, my algorithm knows what I really want #TaylorSwift

imagine this guy at the Turkey Pardon

happy people don’t run countries into the ground. they just don’t.

make little treats tax deductible

today is a great day for reading the most disturbing book on your TBR, especially if it features dystopian plague, forced pregnancy, ecological disaster, and cannibalism because NONE OF THAT is more terrifying than doomscrolling the polls today 3.5/5 - it’s fine
