"History" is not a recitation of events. That's a Wikipedia article.

Teile des NSDAP- Mitgleiderverzeichnisses (1927-1945) sind nun als Teil der beschlagnahmten Unterlagen digitalisiert online einsehbar. Aus Deutschland zurzeit nur mit VPN gut nutzbar, aber sehr nützlich. Danke, NARA! catalog.archives.gov/id/12044361 #germanhistory #history #nazi #geschichte

Most people in history remain nameless—reduced to traits or anonymous figures. A new project by our Cluster of Excellence @dependencybonn.de, funded with €370,000 by @volkswagenstiftung.de, is studying nameless individuals in historical sources: www.uni-bonn.de/en/news/048-...

Today we are welcoming @derguenther.bsky.social to our #InVirtuo seminar. He is going to talk (in German) about design choices, ethics and the role of the perception of authenticity for VR applications, based on his empirical research of VR use in museums and at memorial sites.

Today is World AIDS day and tmw I‘m teaching on the HIV/AIDS Crisis again. A shocking amount of students have zero knowledge of its devastating history. Given conservative backlash I doubt curricula will change soon & vital research has already been defunded by the Trump admin. Fight the forgetting.

Wenn die Nebel vom Siebengebirge ins Rheintal herunterrollen, ist das schon ein erhabener Anblick. Selbst aus der fahrenden Straßenbahn. Da kann man gut nachfühlen, warum so viele sich zum Verfassen eines Gedichts inspiriert fühlten.
