Understanding marginalization and toleration as a spectrum shaped by contingency and context, not as a binary, is extremely important. Many of the sources that depict the most horrific violence bear witness to some degree of toleration that existed prior to persecution. 1/

Indeed we make fun of Gibbon with @eugene-smelyansky.bsky.social in our latest episode!

Fully endorse this medievalism

tolerance & intolerance in the Middle Ages weren't like a light switch - just on/ off. instead, think of it like a faucet, whose levels varied and could change depending on context. listen to @eugene-smelyansky.bsky.social clip --> youtube.com/shorts/zyPy3... full episode --> AmericanMedieval.com

not sure about listening to the whole thing? that's ok. have a little bit, as a treat. @profgabriele.com and @rachelschine.bsky.social get a bit shouty about why historians shouldn't blame shift but should tell the truth about the past! #medievalsky youtube.com/shorts/XTGB6...

There's a depressing but enlightening round-the-world in three sources you can do, if you're so inclined. - James H. Sweet's "The Iberian Roots of American Racist Thought" basically says antiblackness was imbibed through Muslim slaveholding practices ...

I have to say, this is the most fun I’ve ever had on a podcast. It almost made me want my own podcast (don’t worry I won’t do it). 😅

One of the weirdest/best things about @americanmedieval.bsky.social is the opportunity to hear how people whose work I've followed online for years actually sound (I listened to this ep on my way into work this morning, and it's great)

not photographic perhaps but I'm pleased w/ this mixed media image of the mosaic of Empress Theodora in the basilica of San Vitale in Ravenna (insp by the color insert in The Bright Ages by @profgabriele.com & @lollardfish.bsky.social which I am rdg soo slowly bc of The Horrors) #almostdailyart

This was a fascinating one (well, they all are) --- I kept breaking off to go share bits from it with my son.

This episode on "crusadercore" and the fetishization of medievalish stuff going on in current pop and political culture is terrific and fun and chilling all at once.

if you're interested (c'mon, you are), have a wee listen to @tlecaque.bsky.social talking about a bonkers sermon that shows how early white settlers were ALL IN on holy war - kind of like during the medieval "crusades." #medievalsky
