Today is the day for sending fan letters to grad students who gave great papers at #ASECS2023 . @ASECS

It was definitely tenuous for me to come on my slashed funding and I am in a better situation than many people @ASECS #ASECS2023 #ASECS23

This might be a stupid way to ask you, but what does happen? @ASECS #ASECS2023

Last night when I wrote my big @ASECS roundup thread, I thought I was exhausted, sleep-deprived, and was going to squeeze in a nap before the final panel, but writing out that thread was better than a nap; what I really needed wasn't sleep but some kind of metacognitive moment so everything in short-term memory could get sorted and organized. I can't possibly livetoot about conferences (listening takes full concentration) but I'll definitely write them up again in the future. #ASECS2023

unexpected small pleasure of #ASECS2023 was seeing everybody's top-notch phone cases. Lots of very appealing book cover inspired cases!

The big @ASECS megathread! #ASECS2023

3/9 2:45 Roundtable: From the Great Transformation to the Great Acceleration, with me, Rajani Sudan, Scott Mackenzie, Ramesh Mallipeddi, and respondent Dwight Codr

My talk, "Public Debt as Extractive Violence," was about how the pamphlet debates about British public debt pitted landowners against financiers, but only Cugoano saw how the debt was formed by the agents of slavery to create new ways to profit from white supremacy and nationalism. 1/

At the airport for my flight back home. I’m sad not to be staying the last day this year, but I thoroughly enjoyed the work I got to witness and be party to. Thank you @ASECS for a great conference. #ASECS2023 #asecs23

So, the biggest takeaway I have from #ASECS2023 so far is that 1) planning meals with people doesn't work for me because I just don't have the energy to do it. That makes me sad, but it's true. 2) I think I need to plan smaller hangouts, or maybe breakfast, or else dedicate a day to it. I also need to get way more proactive in arranging such things instead of trying to happen upon them. That's lovely when it works, but lets be real here. I will eventually get the hang of this. :)

I usually don't cross-post from Twitter (am trying not to post there at all, but did this time because all the other ReMarkable users I know are on there) but, a PSA: I swear I do not get any money from this company but having my reMarkable at #ASECS2023 is the BEST. All my copious conference notes and thoughts, previously scrawled in random notebooks or free pads of paper from the book exhibit and then lost, are now in one single place! @ASECS

Spending a bit of time with one of The Mummy movies on in the background and playing with the Heurist open source online database for Humanities research. Many thanks to the Bibliographical Society of America panel today for this great direction! #ASECS2023

I promise to post about #ASECS2023 when I get home; my tablet is crammed with notes, names, things to remember, ideas to consider, and literally every second that I haven't been learning I've been swimming in companionship and solidarity. Normally I'm a glutton for down time at conferences but at this one, not a moment passes when I'm not swept up in some lovely important interaction. @ASECS

Thrilled to see African Impressions on the UVaP table at #ASECS2023 (#ASECS23) and in the company those making Virginia such an exciting press for eighteenth-century studies (including our intrepid admin @carrideen ).

So how was everyone's first day of #ASECS2023? I found out a lot that I will need to know next fall about recruiting English majors, learned some things about Haywood as a translator, and ate at this restaurant that supposedly was where Al Capone was arrested with @shandyist & friends.

Come to the Defoe Society Roundtable on Friday morning, 8am, Sterling 8. Discover "Who are Defoe's contemporaries?" Come say hi and collect a collector's edition magnet featuring the Celestial Hedge-hog, unofficial mascot of the Defoe Society. While supplies last. #asecs2023 #c18

Headed upstairs from the member's social knowing I am just too sensorily challenged to stay down and be social tonight. A good rest and a dinner in room and tomorrow I should be good to go. #ASECS2023

Arrived at #ASECS2023 in plenty of time before my roundtable at 2:45, so early that my room isn't ready yet! Exciting to run into beloved colleagues and friends at every turn and see so many desirable new books on display!

#ASECS2023 If you're up and around, come join me at 9:45 am for the session "Special Session, Lightning Round: "Sex Objects" and Unstable Luxury in the Long Eighteenth Century in room Sterling 9!

@ASECS Sticking with this plan -- there's a part of me that really seems to feel that pressing that little plus sign makes it possible for me to be at all of these at once. Maybe the #ASECS2023 app is magic!

I’m on my way to #ASECS2023 , which will be my first time at #ASECS rather than CSECS — I’d love to meet folks whom I haven’t had a chance to cross paths with before! (I mostly do DH and women’s writing, but I’m presenting on a new project looking at subscription publications, specifically Sancho’s Letters)

Please send a happy thought into the universe that the four hours between when my plane is supposed to land and when my talk is supposed to start tomorrow hold true. #ASECS #ASECS2023
