My daughter is selling Girl Scout cookies. digitalcookie.girlscouts.org/scout/rosie762… She made this video. Enjoy the cats.
Went to Girl Scout cookie training yesterday. Girl Scouts would like to reassure you that they only use child labor to sell the cookies, not to harvest palm oil.
For those who asked for a recording of the webinar yesterday: youtube.com/watch?fbclid=I… It was a lot of fun!
Watch Ben and I duke it out tomorrow. @BenjaminEPark @muchcrap @FemiLinzi
Several years ago, my undergrad asked my husband to reach out to an alumnus who worked for the Idaho Freedom Foundation and had since moved to Montana. My response was absolutely not. Alumni ties aren't enough to make me friends with white nationalists. idahocapitalsun.com/2024/01/10/ida…
My trek experience was….well, insane. -we were allowed 3 ‘modern’ conveniences. One of mine was my contact lenses. -the 1st day, all we ate was a small ration of dried fruit & nuts -breakfast each day was ‘ash cakes’, a dough of flour/water cooked in the ashes of the fire 1/3
I'm calling for terrible trek stories on TikTok. Are we allowed to mention the app? I'm not even sure I care anymore. tiktok.com/@amandalee3975…
Congrats to Ben! Well deserved.
A truly auspicious number of people have watched this. Jace probably thinks it's because I didn't specify that the LeBarons are FLDS. Who wants to tell him?
My big critique of Under the Banner of Heaven was that it wasn't focused enough on the woman and girl who were murdered. Daughters of the Cult is wonderfully woman-focused.
Just a reminder since it’s course eval time. Your course evals have no correlation with how much students learned or how good of a teacher you are.
Little behind, but finally looked at W. Paul Reeve's digital collection about slavery in Utah. It clarified for me how important slavery was to the development of the Priesthood and Temple ban and Mormon ideas of kinship. Absolutely fantastic work! exhibits.lib.utah.edu/s/this-abomina…
And Sarah Keyes’ wisdom.
And Sarah Keyes’ wisdom.
Susa Young Gates and Joseph Smith III would both like you to know that they had VERY MANLY fathers. That is all.
Apparently, Rulon C. and Owen Allred of Sister Wives and AUB fame grew up in my hometown.... on Shilling Street near the high school. Updated Mormon Studies people list from my hometown: @BenjaminEPark , me, the Allreds, Davis Bitton, and Jon Huntsman, Sr.
My @SunstoneOrg sweatshirt came in, just in time for @stepetersen1’s dissertation defense on trek.
Finished Coppins’ biography of Romney. Typical “great man” biography. No glimpses into his family or wider society. As a result, it’s painful and tedious to read and does nothing for Romney’s image. If you found him out of touch before, he’ll seem just as out of touch after.
I talked to my graduate advisor at WHA about why people don't finish their 2nd books. Later, we talked about the appointments I've attended trying to figure out one of my children's neurodiversity. She responded, "That's why women don't finish 2nd books." Feeling that today.
Reading Coppin’s bio of Romney. I‘m not a fan of either, so this will be fun. They both exude “I’m a very nice, elite man who has never fully examined his privilege” energy. It makes Coppins‘ framing of the bio — Romney is so brave for examining his life!! — scream worthy.
A grad student just made a joke about old ppl in their 40s and 50s. I just turned 40 y’all. I’m dead.

Can't wait for this 2/7 event in Bozeman. That the invitation came frome one of my very first undergrad students (now an Asst Prof @montanastate) makes it extra special.
You know what libraries need? Unlimited soup, salad, and breadsticks.
My 6 year old running in the door: SISTER IM HOME LETS WATCH BLUEY! Happy new episode day everyone:
I just realized I’m writing my first somewhat modern character and it’s wild writing their normal vernacular instead of something historical.
moms/parents are not asking for too much
Y’all, we just need places that children can BE. I get why it can’t be the library. But where the f*ck should it be then? Where can I take my kids when it’s cold outside and they are begging to leave the house? We don’t have money for a trampoline park every week. Tell me. WHERE.
@HendrixKomoto It was very traumatizing. Another group right by me had their chicken get loose and run around with half its neck severed. But I was SO STARVING I didn’t care at the time.
@HendrixKomoto I have never heard of it outside trek. But I also grow up in a large metro area.
@imintherockies At least it was in the 90s. The ones my nieces and nephews have done seem pretty cushy.
@ApostateAbish I had forgotten about ash cakes! I went on pioneer trek in 1989 and it was def a starvation exercise. Problematic in so many ways--using physical hardship to manipulate children into having spiritual experiences is just wrong.
@ApostateAbish Nothing like a little cult cosplay. A girl on my trek almost died because her insulin had to be put in the “medi-cart” a mile ahead of her. I can never deny my trek miracle though. I went to bed with 4,000 blisters on my hands & woke up completely healed. God? Ghosts?Magic?✨🌚🌝
@mishellehancock You missed trek AND the temple? Good for you tbh
@ApostateAbish I last did a Youth Conference in ‘88, then I went to BYU for two degrees until ‘95. I’m SO glad I never knew wtf Trek was, and that I never went through the temple. I knew enough about the temple and other things to get out. It was a very long transition, but somehow I did it.
@hauntedwingtips Or thinking we did this so you don’t have to?
@Jennife63221170 Even my TBM mom thinks my trek experience was insane and gets upset about it still. They don’t do them like this anymore (pretty sure).
