Happy 6th night of Hanukkah! And Shabbat Shalom!

#medievalsky #medieval #Carolingians Hey Medieval fans and scholars! I am wildly happy to announce the release of my favorite medievalist’s new edited volume Living in a Carolingian World Part 33 of Brill's Series on the Early Middle Ages! The perfect holiday gift! brill.com/display/titl...

Happy 3rd and 4th nights of Hanukkah! May your celebrations be peaceful

The networks could say, "He tells lies that he has been told are lies, so we're not going to air his speeches live." By any journalistic standard that would be reasonable and easy to defend. The fact that they don't tells us where we are.

this is the story about how Trump’s literal White House chief of staff got sloppy and couldn’t stop blabbing to Vanity Fair, and now top attorneys to a variety of the Trump DOJ/WH’s political targets for vengeful prosecution and criminal probes are sensing a real opportunity.

Wishing all a peaceful,safe, and happy second night of Hanukkah

sweeeeeeet 😅😉

The far right is obsessed with Lord of the Rings and Musk keeps posting about "hobbits" because modern scientific racism owes more to fantasy worlds and gaming systems than genetic science, and they see both as effective mediums for right-wing propaganda www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2025/1...

This Veteran’s Day I recognize members of my family who have served in the armed forces including my father Bruce Feldacker, my father-in-law Bruce Garver, my grandfather Morris Feldacker, great uncle Philip Feldacker, and uncle Barry Pass. I also want to highlight the work of : www.nvam.org

If you see this post a vehicle. My first painted 40k tank, a kitbashed Leman Russ Annihilator:

My bad/hot take is that I'm not that mad about the destruction of the East Wing because whether its a hall or a hole the Epstein-Trump Friendship Ballroom is the monument the nation deserves. Sometimes, decisions leave scars to remember them by

Here's a shirt I had fun designing. Union strong! www.etsy.com/listing/4367...

Who robbed the Louvre? Right answers only. Possibly keeping time using C&C Music Factory's "Gonna Make You Sweat (Everybody Dance Now)" at 4 minutes, three seconds.

No Kings protest in Dekalb- these pics do not do the 1000+ protesters Justice but I’m so glad I went #NoKings

To mark the 959th anniversary of the Battle of Hastings here are four Sussex scenes from the Bayeux Tapestry: 1. Bosham Church. 2. The Norman invasion fleet sail into Pevensey. 3. Castle built at Hastings 4. Norman cavalry runs into the 'Malfosse', (yet to be located natural or defensive ditch) 🏺

I am grateful for the return of the remaining hostages, may their return bring relief to their families and loved ones. There are many more people who still mourn and suffer. I hope that this day is the first step towards a just and lasting peace for Palestine and Israel. truah.org/press/north-...

It's Friday! Let's end the week with a map & some eels! Here is John Speed's 1611 map, "The Kingdome of Great Britaine and Ireland." There are Dutch eel ships on this map. Can you find them? (the answer is at the end of the thread) Wait, you ask...WTF is an eel ship? 1/5 🗃️🧪

I need you to read this thread to understand why so many historians are revolted by this regime's crimes against the past

Shanah Tovah! May the new year be sweet and may it bring just and lasting peace!

#Miniatures #miniatures Two mounted 25mm cavalry (likely from Mega Miniatures in the early 2000’s). Fun to paint and a nice addition to a late medieval historic or fantasy command stand.

Happy Friday! (timeline cleanse)

Friends! It's the feast day of St. Hildegard of Bingen, an abbess, polymath, mystic, & eel truth-teller. Medieval thinkers agreed that eels reproduce asexually. But Hildegard suggested that eels mate at sea, where we can't watch. No one listened to her. But she was right! 1/2 🗃️🧪

At a breakneck speed of 0.008 knots (or 25cm/min), the Oseberg ship is once again on the move today, for the first time in almost a century.

Great job opportunity here in Vienna at the Natural History Museum. @nhmwien.bsky.social jobs.nhm.at/Curator-for-...
