Twitter 2018

Avec décembre qui s'approche, c'est une nouvelle année qui s'achève. Encore une fois, j'aime passer à travers mes Tweets personnels préférés et par la même encourager mes lecteurs de me suivre sur Twitter. Au plaisir de vous croiser sur les réseaux sociaux et dans la vraie vie!

Apparently #monkeymonday is a think. #Academicwithcats, we have to up our game! #18thCentury #Engravings

When you've spent the last decade and a half building up your critical thinking skills, skeptical analytical tools, and rationality to properly study history, but all your dad wants to talk/brag about is crap he's seen on the #historychannel. pic.twitter.com/gIdArilwTR

That moment when you realize, in the middle of your swamped fall schedule, that one of your talks doesn't require any preparation, clearing a load off your upcoming October work load. pic.twitter.com/xwVqhIoC2A

My new favourite pirate is Benjamin Hornigold: he and his men once attacked a ship and stole... hats. And nothing else.
They had gotten drunk the night before and thrown theirs overboard. #Pirates #History #Hats #Rum #Tricorne #18thCentury pic.twitter.com/3y8RDKrtg0

Discussing #GordonLightfoot with a colleague. Talking about how he's a great songwriter but sometimes hard to understand.

#HistorianProblems: when you're one word over the page number limit in a grant application and you decide to delete the word "sutler".
No one knows what that is today anyways. #18thCentury pic.twitter.com/PgOKg0O244

Unlike #rum snobs I've read in reviews, I like the spices to ram my taste buds like an 18th century warship accosting a merchant ship for plunder.#DrinkingAlone#HistorianLife#Iberville#MightHaveHadATadTooMuch#ScrewItImAPirate pic.twitter.com/i5EgG9nhj9

Voltaire cameo where what he SHOULD have said was : "Save Canada? BAHAHAHA. Dude. Do you know how much I've invested into the sugar islands? Forget snow: that's the white stuff I'm after."#NouvelleFrance #Movies #Voltaire #1759 pic.twitter.com/h7x2mbDyyF

To celebrate the Treaty of Aix-la-Chapelle signed in 1748, #Michilimackinac alone spent 7 570 livres on various trade items « both for rejoicing and as presents to be given to the Indians », including 173 bottles of wine, 173 bottles of liquor and 585 pounds of tobacco. pic.twitter.com/w3eRPy81jF

Unfortunate #typo of the day : Postdocrotal. I don't know what that means, but it sounds serious.
