Finally I have my own copy from the book, which was so inspiring for me. #earlymodern

Some very happy news today: Anton Runesson and I have recieved four years funding from @vetenskapsradet.bsky.social for the project ”Nourishing the Body Politic: Eating, the Edible, and Authority in Sweden, 1650−1750”!! Very excited to delve into #earlymodern #foodhist

Very glad to be part of this special issue of Reformation on bodily practices and the European reformations, edited by the wonderful Iryna Klymenko and Alex Walsham. Great intro and articles, all OA! #earlymodern #reformazing #bodyhist #relhist www.tandfonline.com/toc/yref20/c...

Sommaren 2026 avslutar SJ all internationell nattågstrafik efter att regeringen stryper finansieringen. Anslaget på 95 miljoner motsvarar statens årliga förlust för Bromma flygplats.

It’s PUBLICATION DAY!! 🌟⭐️💫 I’m very happy to see Voices of Thunder going out into the world 📚

"i just use it to generate ideas"

Can confirm that the book does exist in the material world!

I get that the news cycle is packed right now, but I just heard from a colleague at the Smithsonian that this is fully a GIANT SQUID BEING EATEN BY A SPERM WHALE and it’s possibly the first ever confirmed video according to a friend at NOAA 10 YEAR OLD ME IS LOSING HER MIND (a thread 🧵)

The Word made Flesh is out today! I've not seen it in the flesh myself yet, but this is a happy day after many years of work. #EarlyModern #medhist #histmed #bodyhistory

Yes, I am very interested in the latest in royal putrefaction! #earlymodern

Due to Academia(.)edu licensing agreement, which permits the use of your likeness, voice, and publications in any manner they choose, I, like many others, have decided to leave the platform. You can now find my research on ResearchGate instead.

First post of the new academic year and it's a good one: JOBS! There are THREE fixed-term research jobs in @kingshistory.bsky.social attached to my colleague Francisco Bethencourt's new ERC project on the Visual and Material Culture of New Christians. Please circulate! #EarlyModern 🗃️

Boklansering av Shifting Regimes av Mats Hallenberg, Jocke Scherp och Magnus Linnarsson. Anna Maria Forssberg ställde de insiktsfulla frågorna.

if you’re an isolated, angsty, strange young man, please know that you can become a Kierkegaard scholar instead of joining fringe online communities

The vast amount of willing collaborators really is shocking.

Calling #earlymodern and historians of religion! I'm looking for work on food, eating and fasting among religious radicals around 1700. I've found some work on Jansenists and Pietists, but would love to know more about all the other groups out there. Very grateful for any ideas! #foodhistory

Det finns många kommentarer kring detta, men… Själv reagerade jag på idealiseringen av kärleken. Deras tvåsamhet är av ett annat, djupare slag än andra dödliga. Den gestaltas på bild genom teatralisk innerlighet i rikets största tidning. Det är en kärlek vi andra bara kan aspirera till.

Morning! This is the bleakest book packaging I’ve ever seen. Read the back cover text in full… 🤣

Just a reminder to check for your name in this list of books that OpenAI trained from. If your name is there, they probably owe you several thousand dollars. OpenAI cried that if everyone eligible author files, the company will go bankrupt, so I'm alerting every author I have ever spoken to.

this term in university teaching ive experimented with a return to engaging with groups only through figurative painting on the walls of underground caverns, the results have been ASTOUNDING. never going back to writing systems again

Här kommenterar Kenta och Stoffe att de blivit del av en kanon.

En statlig utredning vill stryka sexualundervisning ur skolans mål och uppdrag. Enligt förslaget ska alla skrivningar om sexualitet, samtycke och relationer tas bort. En annan utredning föreslår att sexualundervisning stryks ur lärarutbildningen. Vettigt? Nej. RFSU ber oss skriva under uppropet.

Lol. It's science because there's a thing to measure. That thing is documents transcribed in the 1930s. Hilariously, they find that more literate towns had more rumours. I wonder whether it was literate towns or "ignorant peasants" that were more likely to have produced those documents 🤔

Ni kanske är lite morgontrötta och småsura, men jag är PIGG OCH JÄTTEGLAD för det första jag gjorde när jag vaknade var att läsa den här recensionen av min bok! www.expressen.se/kultur/bocke...

Varför är folk i sådana här reportage alltid så extrema? Alltid liksom usch nej vi var så stressade i Stockholm så nu lever vi som unabomber istället Man kan liksom flytta till mindre orter/glesbygd och ändå bete sig normalt

Publication Day! How was race taught to students during the Enlightenment? Our book traces how Edinburgh-trained students carried their education into colonial contexts and forged race as a central category of Enlightenment thought. #History #Enlightenment #Colonialism #YaleUniversityPress

Some incredibly good news: One year ago this week, The Onion returned to print. In that one year, we’ve grown to the 13th largest print newspaper in the United States, just ahead of the Boston Globe, and growing fast. In short, it’s working. So… thank you. Thank you for helping save this thing.

World Athletics says that "The SRY gene is a reliable proxy for determining biological sex." The guy who literally discovered the gene and has spent the last 35 years researching it says they're wrong. theconversation.com/world-athlet...

It's funny to think that my preference for urban living in areas with dense, mixed-used, walkable neighborhoods, multi-family housing, small businesses, and diversity probably stems from Sesame Street. Like an early education in Jane Jacob's urbanist theories.

Ja men om jag, enkel-kvinna™️, finner följdfrågor på 10 min kan journalister göra detsamma. Nej de inte bara kan… Det ingår i uppdraget.

Back home again after my sabbatical in Frankfurt, where I’ve had time to work, met lovely colleagues and really enjoyed the city. The one thing Frankfurt doesn’t have however, is good places to swim. So today I’m off to the sea!

Uncatalogued Arabic manuscript from West Africa — a fragmented. Loose leaves, varying paper sizes. Topics include mathematics, astrology, talismans, magic, divination, and treatises. I am looking for assistance with describing this manuscript, if interested, please DM me. Thanks
