Outrageous

Woke up to some exciting news: Everyday Denazification in Postwar Germany, has been awarded the Council for European Studies Silver Book Award. I'm deeply honored by this recognition and grateful to everyone who supported the project councilforeuropeanstudies.org/announcement...

Thank you Anna 🙏

Officially DONE with grading, done with teaching until Fall 2027.

I was thrilled to sit down with @lgbtqnation.com to chat about I Will Not Abandon You. Read our interview here: www.lgbtqnation.com/2026/05/pers...

Very excited to have been invited to speak at the @wienerlibrary.bsky.social this summer! I’ll be in conversation with @rosieramsden.bsky.social and Will Jones. If you’re in London, don’t miss it! wienerholocaustlibrary.org/event/book-t...

Unholy cow. We’re headed for a future where reading is banned at universities

Reminder that I’m speaking at Little District Books tonight!

I was thrilled to sit down with the folks at Stanford History for an alumni interview history.stanford.edu/news/alumni-...

“An important view of how destabilizing persecution is for those on the margins. It’s a thoughtful reflection on the complexity of state crackdowns on freedom of sexual expression.” Read a new review of @schuneke.bsky.social’s I Will Not Abandon You in Publishers Weekly: bit.ly/42dURde

Absolutely not. It’s hard to get excited about voting democratic when they keep feeding up this slop

Just blown away by the generosity of my colleagues in selecting me for the David Powers Corwin Award for LGBTQ+ teaching and scholarship

I am going to lose my mind

As an author of books and of book reviews this is absolutely true. I really worry about what it does to intellectual life longer term not to have a public that cares to engage with long form prose - whether fiction or non fiction. www.nytimes.com/2026/04/27/b...

4. something new: the important book of @schuneke.bsky.social on lesbian women in Nazi Germany utppublishing.com/doi/book/10....

DC friends! I’ll be talking about I WILL NOT ABANDON YOU at Little District Books on May 5. More info and RSVP here: littledistrictbooks.com/products/i-w...

“If you ask tobacco companies to help write your school’s policy on cigarettes…you’re going to end up with guidance on how to smoke responsibly in school.”

"A history professor course could not allocate instructional time to the Stonewall riots or the gay rights movement. If a U.S. history textbook includes a chapter on the AIDS crisis, the professor must skip it." www.erininthemorning.com/p/texas-tech...

If you’re based in Northern Ireland, I have a piece about my new @cornellupress.bsky.social book in the @belfasttelegraph.co.uk today!

It was a delight to chat with @newbooksnetwork.bsky.social about I Will Not Abandon You newbooksnetwork.com/i-will-not-a...

Wait the nyt is publishing LLM slop now?

Thank you!! So excited to see it out in the world in the hands of readers

Happy book pub day to @schuneke.bsky.social! His new book is I Will Not Abandon You: Queer Women in Nazi Germany. Yesterday, we talked all about it and you can get your copy here: bookshop.org/a/82376/9781... youtube.com/shorts/1QaeT...

It’s officially publication day!!

Perhaps Magyar's most important promise, and the one that certainly resonates with voters: "never again a country without consequences!" The crowd chants: "To prison! To prison!" [with the corrupt officials of the outgoing government]

From new Hungarian Prime Minister Péter Magyar's acceptance speech tonight. This is the absolute BARE MINIMUM platform for any Democrat running for President in 2028.

Best news of the year

Academics and technologists are sounding the alarm about a growing crisis in scholarship as we know it: AI-generated citations of nonexistent papers that have infested real journals. Despite being fake, the sources are widely assumed to be authentic the more they appear in published literature.

Thank you!!

"We have not abandoned each other, because we love each other." In 1943, a young French woman spoke these words to a Nazi interrogator. I Will Not Abandon You by @schuneke.bsky.social recovers the hidden history of queer women in Nazi Germany. Discover more: bit.ly/4bW6Z70 @ankahajkova.bsky.social

Upcoming book talks!

Thank you @christopherewing.bsky.social !!!

I’m honored to be chairing the David Barclay Book Prize committee this year. The prize will be awarded by the German Studies Association to the best book in modern German history published in 2025. Please share widely! More information here: www.thegsa.org/grants-prize...

They’re here and they’re gorgeous!!!

This is absolutely horrifying and a betrayal of Boston’s children. Research points to this technology doing great damage to its users.

It’s worth pointing out this is an explicitly fascist idea. The limited franchise that Spaniards enjoyed under Franco was precisely this - one household, one vote, cast by the husband.

Happening today!!

The students are not my enemy! They tried to tell us that AI was a vector of student cheating we had to labor to get ahead of when in fact people at the top are selling out students and faculty alike (and Penn is working to clog our k12 with this shit). Kids are alright tho.

attn all the uni teachers who want to be “cool” and encourage AI use

I always love coming on @inbedwiththeright.bsky.social to talk about queerness and fascism

So, um... this is bad. Really bad. I looked at the letters that were translated by the AI, and the very first one I found was almost entirely hallucination. Thread:
