Shot in the dark here, but have any @histodons used book indexing software (such as Cindex) and had good results?
Long story short: I might get uni funding to pay for a pro and if not I guess I do have time (if not enthusiasm) to create an index myself this summer, but I'm just thinking about whether there might be some time saving alternatives.
Thanks in advance for any replies.
I paid homage to the ancestors yesterday with a shamrock shake and I guess that'll be about it until next spring. #Ireland

I’m listening…
Marco Rubio says he's 5'10" but is probably 5'8" (1.72), hence the "Little Marco" nickname that we're not using anymore for some reason... There's big and big by comparison.
Time to dust off your copy of Ivan Arreguin-Toft's "How the Weak Win Wars."
The US military can take any territory on earth, but it can't hold it for long in the face of determined local opposition. See Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan. At peak strength, nearly 600g American troops could not pacify South Vietnam, which was the size of Wisconsin. Resorting to barbarism might lead to victory (see Philippines), but it's unlikely given public outrage back home. #canada #elbowsup
This is the annual "try to figure out what what the time difference is with #Ukraine before your Zoom call now that the US has changed its clocks but they don't until the end of the month" day. Respect to all the academic volunteers who celebrate it.
When I lived in #Poland about 20 years ago, the best way to sell anything was to call it "American X..." American muffins, American boxers, etc. They loved Ronald Reagan nearly as much as Pope Jan Pawel II and I daresay there's no more pro-American country in Europe.
But the trump admin is set on feuding with every last one of America's friends. Before Euromaidan I'd have said the Poles were easily the most tenacious people in Europe, so threaten at your peril. #uspol
My institution just concluded its presidential search and our next leader will be the first Black university president in #Kentucky at a public institution outside of our primary HBCU. I'm cynical as hell, but I have to tip my cap to the committee for bucking the times. Good luck to Dr. Ron K. Patterson! #academicchatter
Fact check: No Kentuckian would drink that Tennessee swill. Jack Daniels is from down south in Lynchburg.
But yes, the margins in the Kentucky bourbon belt were heavily R and I have the world's tiniest violin for complaints about how hard working Kentucky distillers, barrel makers, truckers and everyone else are going to lose their jobs.
I would like to see an awareness campaign to explain to djt that Canada is nowhere near as White as he probably thinks it is (a little under 70% and rapidly falling). This is probably one of the best ways to get him to give up on annexation.
@AlexanderVI @AnnieBuddy @edbilodeau Laura Secord?
Gretzky... this is such a horrible own goal. Just say something, dude; the silence makes it all so much worse.
Are Canadians actually doing the Freedom Fries thing to their Americanos, aka Canadianos, in coffee shops? I tip my hat to whomever started this trend and I'm willing to try it at my local Starbucks in small town Kentucky just for fun. #Canada
No no no.
This is *severely* qualified right there in the lede as "a large majority of speech watchers approved of what they heard." Outside of a few media pundits, very few people who voted against trump would have chosen to subject themselves to 99 minutes of him. Just five-six minutes of him during a clip from the Zelensky meeting last Friday was absolutely repulsive.
In the end, something like 3/4 of 1/2 the country liked the speech.
I'd rather be skiving.
Time to dust off Defence Scheme No. 1? #Canada
America's fear of an Anglo-Japanese alliance led Canada to worry about a U.S. attack—and in the end, devise a scheme for a 'pre-emptive invasion' of its southern neighbor.

I guess we can fire the fentanyl czar now?
Spoiler alert: it was failed property deals in Toronto and Vancouver, plus the wife on whom he cheated making eyes at Justin Trudeau. Buckle up, everyone. #canada
Don't you hate it when there's a raccoon loose somewhere between the ceiling and roof of your museum, but the uni grounds crew and facilities management team are in a jurisdictional squabble over who has to go catch it? Wednesdays, amiright? #glam
