I went here and everybody knew you were a young boy whose father took him to the city to see a marching band
May Day is not officially acknowledged in the U.S. because of what historians say is an ongoing resistance to unity among the working class. This resistance is prompting protesters to take action on Thursday, regardless.

Last night the Jewish holiday of Purim began, where we celebrate and honor the courage it takes to resist state violence and empire. We stand in solidarity with Palestinians who face increased violence on Purim, while already enduring the Israeli government’s genocide and occupation.
As we enter Shabbat, we cannot rest while this injustice happens before our eyes. Take action at jvp.org/callformahmoud and jvp.org/emailformahmoud

It’s out! Today is publication day for Gender and the Book Trades, from the conference of the same name in June 2021. Huge thanks to everyone who contributed and read drafts of this behemoth's xxii + 492 pages. We are so proud of it and hope you enjoy. brill.com/edcollbook/t...
I think I’ve found the dissertation writing promised land - a cafe a 3 min walk from my house that has breakfast AND lunch food, plays 2010s hipster music, has tons of tables and 2 bathrooms 🥹 it’s beautiful and I’m never leaving
I’m so grateful to have gotten the chance to learn with them, and will miss them immensely! Thank you @ccnyhistory.bsky.social for a wonderful semester! Long live the early modern! 3/3
This course taught me to think about history from scratch, and to think about what history really means to me and to all of us. I’m so proud of my students, who rolled with the punches when there were bumps in the road and impressed me beyond measure with their energy and curiosity. 2/3

A selfie of a me in front of an empty classroom. My face is peeking out from the bottom right corner of the frame.
An empty classroom from the teacher’s perspective. There are several blackboards on the back wall and rows of student desks with blue chairs and beige tabletops.
And just like that, I’m done teaching my first ever lecture course (minus a huge pile of grading I’m choosing to ignore until tomorrow)! Building and prepping a whole survey course by myself was so much more of a challenge than I thought, but also more of a delight — 1/3
Giving the starter pack for people interested in early modern women another little boost. Lots of great scholars here! go.bsky.app/Cqqbspt
Omg that’s so lovely to hear, thank you! ☺️

A meme depicting one night in amour standing over and about to hit with a folding chair a second, similarly clad, knight who is on hands and knees on the ground. The standing knight is labeled "Me in August." The knight on the ground is labeled "Me in November." The folding chair is labeled "My own syllabi."
It's about that time of year again....

History educators, wondering what you can do in this moment? You can learn queer history and teach queer history.

Why does diving back into my archive notes after a couple months feel the same as actually reading archival documents?? I can’t read the handwriting and there are all these weird abbreviations everywhere… the early modern is calling from inside the house
I tend to post mostly about funky archival finds, union stuff, and my precious perfect dog Tony (short for Rigatoni, obviously). You can find me and some of my public work here! 2/2

I made a Starter Pack for Women's and Gender History because when I looked yesterday I couldn't seen one - sorry if it's now been superseded.
You know the drill by now: please just let me know if you'd like to be added, and equally if you'd prefer not to be listed, just shout.
