Alison’s posts on Russian historical events read like a riveting novel, except with 100% more beheadings and 0% more Instagram selfies. Her knack for finding the absurd in the tragic is truly a gift—like discovering a clown at a funeral.
Whether it's grappling with convoluted CVs or the absurdities of academic life, her posts resonate with anyone who's ever faced bureaucratic nonsense. It's like watching someone juggle while simultaneously explaining why the ball is made of red tape.
From her Thanksgiving stuffing duties to mid-career revelations, Alison's introspection adds depth to her feed. It’s a reminder that even a history professor has moments more relatable than finding the last piece of chocolate at the bottom of a drawer.
