Excited to dig into this on an impulse buy from a local bookstore. This is very intertwined with my area of study so excited to see what Hochschild makes of it.

Just saw Conclave.

I genuinely have no idea how to feel.

Re-upping intro post because there’s 700-plus people now thanks to the starter pack I’m in. Incredibly company for sure and very excited to join with all of you.

I’m also interested in the growth of mutualistas during this period and seek to do what I can to emulate that energy. I work full time I sales for a telecom bc health insurance and 401(k) but always looking to lend where I can.

Hello new followers, whether through my mass-following war bores or social justice/mutual aid resources. My name is Alex and I am an MA candidate in history focusing on Mexican-Americanos and involvement in WW1, with a focus on the changing identity of ‘veteran.’ Welcome!

If I wanted to hear from a blowhard heir who was radicalized into the worst parts of his culture, I’d watch Tucker Carlson

We’re in!

“Warmaking on the State Level in the Great War” with @akimlinger.bsky.social, Annette Amerman, Richard Wasserman and myself is a GO at SMH 2024!

Would it be weird to message someone on Ancestry.com to see if their great-grandfather was even discussed or if there’s anything left from him? Because this guy was FASCINATING but left little behind.

Dim room with PowerPoint reading “Ties That Bind: India, Brighton & the First World War” with a black and white picture of First World War Indian soldiers

PowerPoint reading “The lovely Georgina” Entertaining each other in the Great War”

PowerPoint reading “Just to Let you know I’m still alive: postcards from ww1” made to look like a postcard with First World War era stamps

I won chocolate called “Hokey Pokey crunch” and I’m holding it in my hand

A great time at Great War Group’s conference in Brighton so far and it’s only halfway through the day!

An Anglican Church with white arches and a dark wood ceiling. The altar is draped in green.

Felt more than a little overwhelmed with *motions hands at everything* so went to a local church green in Brighton for a midday service and prayer. Absolutely lovely.

British reliance on instant coffee is why we left.

It is a primordial truth known to anyone who has even glanced at fundamentalist groups that they are, at their core…catty, pissy bitches who hate each other over dumb shit.

So saying Hamas = ISIS is really funny because those particular catty bitches ABSOLUTELY hate each other

That’s funny because I’m the exact opposite. Started as military focused, specifically WW1… and am now branching out to immigration and empire.

Hello! MA student but would love to be added

I’m a historian of the 19th and early 20th centuries, banging a spoon against a pot yelling “INVASION AND PARASITE AND PEST LANGUAGE WHEN TALKING ABOUT FELLOW HUMAN BEINGS MEANS WE’RE ALREADY THERE.” 🗃️

It’s so annoying right? That not substance-ing and also working out regularly and eating better actually do help.

What a racket. Absolutely ridiculous

Trying to get through a law history article is like… two sentences, then the rest of the page is inscrutable footnotes.

Watching “ordinary men” and the fact that Benjamin Ferencz doesn’t have a national holiday in his honor is INSANITY 🗃️

Has Bluesky gotten the Always Reblog Tom Holland's Umbrella process underway yet?

Having a mind-blown moment that is like. Something that should have made sense but is still wild to think about….

Like how the Flying Artillery of the MexAm war is the grandpappy of WW1’s Rolling Barrage! 🗃️

I’m balancing a lot which I was doing pretty okay with… until one of those things started having regular four hour meetings.

Trying out a travel agent side hustle with a personal aim toward historically-centered trips. If any #skyhistorians want to chat about their tours/work in public history, I’m all ears 🗃️

I don’t know the age range for this but a FWW group I’m in has this children’s book written by the founder: uk.bookshop.org/p/books/firs...

I… have not finished s1 🫣

When you go diving on JSTOR and find an article that is exactly what you were looking for down to the footnotes 🗃️

Would love to be a part of that myself as well!

Turned on my computer and INSTANTLY had a headache.

Is that what remote work has been all this time?
