Ska vi bara acceptera att ett kristet parti är bästa kompisar med ett parti som säger att praktiserande muslimer inte kan vara svenskar och att ramadan inte hör hemma i Sverige? Och det kristna partiet betraktas som rumsrent, tillhör "mitten" i svensk politik och innehar vice statsministerposten?

I'm testing a theory. If you have read any of my published research and found it informative, interesting, or helpful for understanding the past, please reply with (a) which piece and (b) how. Feel free to boost if desired.

#earlymodern anyone know of a bed trick that failed. I’ve checked all the plays in Dessens list and can’t find one I’d love to know if there is the equivalent of Angelo appearing on stage yelling ‘that’s not Isabella!’.

Starting work soon on a new 3 year book project. People keep asking me if I’ll use AI to help me? I would rather wear a hornet’s nest for underpants than ever delegate thought to a plagiarism engine

A research query for the #herbook community. I'm working on a short piece about a law book with a girl's signature ("her book!") -- an extension of a blog post. Anyone w other examples of early modern woman's provenance on law books? Esp British/ British American? karinwulf.com/tidbits/abig...

Early modernists! I just want to check the truth of horses being banned from the playhouse stage as per Lawrence (1927), Levin (1946), Watson (1983)... Any revisions to this history? @callanjd.bsky.social, @andykesson.bsky.social eg?

This looks like an amazing PhD project! Shame I don't speak Dutch 😥 #AcademicSky #jobs #EarlyModern

An interesting observation in my 1569 Plantin edition of Summa Theologica: the printer’s device features the motto ‘Constantia et labore’ instead of the usual ‘Labore et constantia.’ I’ve not seen this variant in other Plantin imprints. Has anyone encountered this before? #BookHistory #PlantinPress

Hur kan hemliga sponsorer av av en hög politikers säkerhet inte räknas som otillbörlig påverkan? Och hur kan man tycka det är rimlig att en sådan här frågan löses av utomstående snarare än Europaparlamentet eller den svenska staten? www.dn.se/ledare/susan...

Can the hive mind can help me with a question on #earlymodern commercial culture in #India? In my research I identified (or rather failed to) four individuals who Prussians East India Company servants had dealings with during their time in 1750s Bengal. Can anybody help me find out more about them?

Billionaires have become powerful enough to purchase whole nations, lock stock & barrel, so the only institutions that can stop them are transnational alliances. Which is why: * they're constantly gunning for the EU & NATO * they're creating their own transnational fascist billionaire alliances

This week on the blog, I get grumpy about Graeber and Wengrow’s The Dawn of Everything and talk about medieval ideas of inequality (add your anarcho-syndicalist peasants here). #medievalsky salutemmundo.wordpress.com/2026/03/19/a...

Dear #Scottishpaleography people, I am struggling with this word and would be hugely grateful for any help. It’s confounding mostly because it seems very readable yet I still can’t get it, which makes me wonder if it is a phonetic spelling or a Scottish word. #earlymodern #scottishmanuscripts

Malmö! Var hade ni rekommenderat ett lite större sällskap att gå för att få plats att umgås en fredags- eller lördagskväll? Jag brukar rekommendera Malmö Brygghus/Malmö Brewing, men någon som rör sig i pubmiljö fler gånger per år än vad man kan räkna på sina fingrar kanske har bättre koll.

Any #EarlyModern folks out there who could recommend printed legal materials from England in the early 1630s, especially linked to forest law? I have a student who wants to work on this area for an undergraduate dissertation, & the go-to series I know for medieval legal sources aren't helping much.

Reading Sallust's Bellum Catilinarium and no one seems to have noted that Kristersson was basically quoting Sallust: "neque bellum gerere neque pacem habere" (31.2). Why does that make things feel even more depressing? NB: I'm not suggesting that either Kristersson or his speechwriters realised!

Var det här ett samtalsämne när Kristersson träffade Palantirhöjdarna?
