I found this piece by @bradlander.bsky.social very moving and beautiful. My hopes for the rabbi who envisions my defeat — and for a better Jewish future forward.com/opinion/8355...

And now for your moment of Zen

This culture creators and culture destroyers shit is straight out of Mein Kampf

And find me a prof who hasn’t whisked a student out of their dorm room at night through a bong cloud and taken them for a meal to persuade them to be a poet

"And I won't even stop speaking when people pass out and drop dead from the heat which, by the way, I'm contributing to by denying climate change"

Also why does the college president share an office w/ the visiting writer in residence? Why does Ludlow College -- clearly USC w/ blurred background -- have graduate students? Why is a prof brought B4 a disciplinary panel for a careless slur but not for getting shitfaced with undergrads?

Kid & I were hate-watching Rooster last night and I have questions: e.g. why does every college/university based show or movie have at least one scene where someone bursts into a professor's class to tell them something? I've been teaching forever and that has never happened. #academicsky

Very excited that this just arrived @osten.bsky.social : Catalog for the exhibition at the Medical History Museum Hamburg on “Lenin’s Death: Psychiatry, Pathology, Propaganda.” @skystorians

What do you mean it’s July

Research assistants not holding up their end today

I'm at the is this even a book part of the summer. Send help.

$5 million is nothing for him and still he’ll never pay it

tearing up watching this #skystorians

Archivist: the documents you're looking for might not all be in the right files. It might take some time to go through the boxes. Are you OK spending a little time here? Me: 🗃️

Play it again, Rusty

European historian here: is it common for US archivists to respond to email queries by setting up zoom meetings? This is going to be my second one and I kind of love it! 🗃️

Of all the places I'm not going to be on July 20, this is the place I'm not going to be most emphatically

The algorithm is having a rough one today

Fathers’ Day situation

Wenn nur Frauen wählen dürften, würden wir in einem besseren Land leben

Nooo

Can we just fucking get beyond "dealmaking." It's not actually a thing. And it's definitely not his thing.

"”What is Jewish supremacy? Eighty years after the Holocaust, it's Mein Kampf in reverse. The superior race is us," said Ya'alon, who served as defence under Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu between 2013 to 2016.” www.middleeasteye.net/news/israel-...

In what world is Dietrich Bonhöffer not a worthy, inspiring role model? Only a world where the Nazis were the good guys

Bumper crop

There are a million things wrong with and infuriating about this, but did she just suggest that if Talarico’s gf were not beautiful, he would be more likely to be gay?

Excited to share the cover of "Racism and Antiracism in Divided Germany," a forthcoming book I co-edited with Lauren Stokes. A history of racism and antiracist activism in East, West, and unified Germany—and why it matters today. 30% off from Cornell UP with code 09BCARD: tinyurl.com/RADGcornell

Father-in-law: they’re chanting Sieg-Heil Me: no, that’s De-Fence. It’s the fans cheering on the Knicks. F-i-L: I’m pretty sure it’s Sieg-Heil

Somebody tell the president

My emotional support human is back!

even my mother-in-law who's never watched an NBA game before didn't fall asleep watching on a comfy sofa last night

Fridays amiright

Seriously, dude

Your moment of Zen

😢

No argument here

I'm teaching German history in fall for the first time since Vormärz. Any colleagues out there willing to share recommendations/syllabi? Mine is lecture/discussion combo mainly around nation/nationalism/shifting meanings of Germanness over 2 centuries. Emphasis on primary sources. Vielen Dank! 🗃️

I don’t consider myself a Luddite but I miss the days when you interacted with humans at the airport.

One great thing about Austrian Rail (ÖBB) is if you’re going to a smaller touristy location, you can prebook and prepay for a taxi from the station to your hotel and back. Even better: ÖBB takes your money and the taxi never shows up. And they give you several absolutely useless numbers to call

Und jetzt

I passed as Austrian for the first and probably only time ever today. Achievement unlocked

#academicsky drop everything and read this! www.thenewcritic.com/p/the-great-...

Nice to see this in a monastery/guest house

I’m struggling to capture the beauty of Salzburg on the phone camera but this one isn’t bad

Is that supposed to be funny?

This morning I got to see both the basement "cold storage" and the rooftop (not cold) storage of the Wienbibliothek/Vienna Library (in the Vienna Rathaus) on a wild goose chase for some archival docs. I've been historianing for many years now but this was quite a thrill! 🗃️ Archivists are the best!

Upper Austria has its charms
