He's hanging up the freshly printed paper sheets to dry - and rest for a few hours. Ink needed its time to dry, and one needed space to let it dry. #bookhistory Enjoy this view into an #earlymodern print shop, and be reminded of the many (small) steps that made in the end a physical 'book'.

I am not a political scientist but I am a historian who thinks a lot about martial masculinity and bow howdy has the last week been a lot about that!

People on FB asked me to share this. Too long for a text post.

I've heard rumors that Philadelphia is next for the ICE invasion after Minneapolis. Maybe I'm wrong, but 1) More than 11% of all ICE agents are in Minneapolis, and they've utterly failed to pacify the city. 2) Philly is 5x the size of Minneapolis. 3) "Minnesota nice" is a thing. We don't have that.

Because the world is just awful right now, I bring you something beautiful. A peacock from an 11th century book of hours:

About Last Night: MAGA Reeks of Death open.substack.com/pub/therickw...

I really enjoyed our conversation.

i am so sorry to say i did it again (Andor s2 spoilers)

Having just finished a book on masculinity in the Reformation, pics like this would really have made the book so much easier to write.

Uncle Baby Billy will have you know he does his own wardrobe!

This is how you do it.

Chapter One: I, Luther, still live! Luther as Virile Monk and Godly Hero. I use sixteenth century images of Luther to explore how he managed and finessed his public persona to project a vision of himself as godly and manly.

I am very happy to announce this book! www.routledge.com/The-Making-o... Out in June!

A little baby camping tent for those REI moments when you want to backpack and take your rare books with you! What a wonderful contraption. Seriously. That thing is cool.

The next thing the WSJ is going to do is an article renaming the Trail of Tears into the Happy Moving Trail. WTAH.

Please join us. The Long Sixteenth Century covers 1450-1750. It is a welcoming and encouraging conference. @16csociety.bsky.social #skstorians #earlymodern #16century #allthecoolhistorians www.sixteenthcentury.org Feel free to email me or DM me if you have questions about the conference.

I began my career at an HBCU, I know what it is like to be the only person in the room who looks like me. Tomorrow, though, 30 years later, is a new first. I will be the only man in the room. PhD seminar in Reformations. So excited. Let’s rock it!

If AI was going to be useful in higher-ed, it would create my Canvas page for me and completely understand Canvas (which remains a mystery in many ways to me). I like to lecture, I like to write and research. I need it to do the stuff I don't like!

Book cover reveal!!! So excited to see this 🌟🎉@reaktionbooks.bsky.social

However, his efforts to embrace those new roles exhibit a genuine commitment to live a new life and to be re-formed in life as much as he was in theology. The Making of a Reformation Man: Martin Luther and the Construction of Masculinity. Chapter 9.

So this is an interesting creation--it's not just the donation of Brown's papers, but she's created an endowed archive for OTHER medievalists' papers as well. Perhaps the first archive of its kind?

Hegseth’s view of the Crusades is what happens when you only listen to theobros and only read Metexas and the like. You think they were successful. (Hint, nope) You think they were noble. (Double Nope) Lots of massacres, lots of losing, tons of mind-numbing misery. Yup, yup, yup.

2025 is the 500th anniversary of the German Peasants War. I would like to organize some panels for SCS 2025 on the PW, Gender, and Sexual Violence. Please touch base if interested in starting a conversation on this topic. #earlymodern @16csociety.bsky.social #skyhistorians

Hi all, I've made a starter park of historians of the body - please shout if you'd like to be added/removed. I was in a rush so haven't added everyone yet! go.bsky.app/T5KnJ51 🗃️

Dobby in his green sweater says hi!

This is what happens when you are looking for a cover image for your new book on Luther and Masculinity, and you get bored. So you ask AI to make you an image of Luther as a virile hero! In this case, the abs may be mightier than the pen.

Great so see a couple of other lovely #EarlyModern ists turning up here! Welcome @laurenkassell.bsky.social @cecilefromont.bsky.social @maartjegelder.bsky.social @suzezij.bsky.social @samsonaws.bsky.social! This early modern gang is growing nicely. go.bsky.app/K2gp9GK

Please share widely. Let’s get #SixteenthCentury conversations going! #EarlyModern #SixteenthCenturySociety

It's disheartening that in an age where knowledge has never been more accessible - the United States is about to be governed by an administration so primitive and ignorant as to believe that tariffs are good and that vaccines are bad.

Trump is lazy, intellectually incurious and utterly selfish. He doesn’t give a single shit about the American people. The entire REASON he ran for a second term was to escape prosecution. That’s it.

I feel like they want this pronounced Dōge like of Venice. I’m going to say it in my head like Doggy.

Let’s go live to Les!

It’s almost time. Oh, the humanity! ih1.redbubble.net/image.366524...
