I’m having intro chats with dissertation students this fortnight, and one of them asked which historians I’d recommend for beautiful writing they could absorb to further develop their own writing style. So, gang, which are your favourite *writers* among historians, any time, any topic, any place. 🗃️

Finding so fucking much mold everywhere, behind wardrobes and shit. Not due to us spilling anything , and i have the windows 24/7 except when it rains all year long cause i am a little crazy like that . Just a shitty old place that got the landlord special 5 years ago.

A broad apology to all the spiders evicted today. Sorry for acting like a landlord. It is the worst.

Gonna die in the next place. Never moving again. Also never gonna drop or spill anything in my life ever again , just gonna live in a big plastic bubble. Which will also be the last object i ever buy again.

Having a wonderful time at Hopkins at the “Oratory and Rhetoric in the Generation before Cicero” conference. And met this very cool Etruscan duck decanter.

I hate telling this story, but when tear gas is in the news... telling always feels importantm Tear gas is an abortifacient. When I was tear gassed, we were trying for a baby. The following day, I bled in a way I never have before. Like no period of my life before or since. Horror movie stuff.

Peak Brussels situation, i speak English with my bf, Dutch with the movers, French with the lift operator and the lift operator and movers speak Arabic with each other. Plus someone illegally parked on the blocked parking spots for the lift so we had to call the police, in true Brussels fashion

How to get out these kind of screws the best way? #dtv

Always last minute things coming up and some boxes to close up but i think we we are done packing !!! Tomorrow movers & a lift are coming so i don't have to drag everything myself and then they will take it to the Netherlands where my dad will let them in We stay here to clean for 3 more days

Funny irony, we are moving out tomorrow and tomorrow the locks of the front appt building are changed coincedentally too

I am burning up but the movers are coming tomorrow so there simply is no time for it

Built in the 13th century. So that mosque stood for 800 years with every sort of person from every place and every religion in the world passing through Gaza century after century, only for it to be blown up by some shithead loser sitting behind a computer that we probably paid for.

Could not find my keys for 2 days and i was reaaaalllly afraid i packed them in a box on the bottle of the pile but i finally found them

I have been visiting the EU quarter in Brussels for almost a quarter of a century. It has been remodeled countless times, completely or partially destroying Schuman Square and/or the surrounding streets. A total waste of money.

As the theoretical Dutch people would say, if they actually existed, "i am typhus tired"

Ok same for today please

Extremely cool stuff here

#SkyCardians, what do we think of the new update? I am not as mad about losing the season 0 planes cause i was collecting destinations most of all, but if the roles were reversed i would have have been so annoyed #SkyCards
