“Science-speak” has invaded the fashion, beauty, and food industries—even as actual science has come under considerable threat, @elcush.bsky.social argues. She explores the rise of faux-scientific jargon:

It is so strange that crime doesn’t occur where people don’t live.

Literally a publication for eight-year olds 40 years ago

We cannot become numb to the outrage of this. The wife of the President’s Senior Advisor threatens a sovereign nation.

It would be so cool if the United States Congress still existed.

This all seems pretty unbecoming of a FIFA Peace Prize winner

I want to congratulate Planet Earth on successfully completing 4.54 billion revolutions around the sun thus far. Way to go, chap.

An official account of the United States government is dreamposting about deporting 80+ million citizens

Post-Christmas sadness has biological and psychological roots. Understanding them can help protect your wellbeing.

Our photographer Alex Kormann captured the exact moment the presses stopped for the last time in Minneapolis, ending a 158 history of locally printed newspapers.

Jo Cox was murdered before the vote by a far-right terrorist & this is the language this complete disgrace chooses to use

Bank of America is nostalgic for the time when it didn't have to issue a credit card to women without her husband's permission.

“The entire Epstein story is hellish from top to bottom, an almost-Gothic tale of the appalling deference society pays to the rich and powerful,” Elizabeth Bruenig argues:

14 two-year postdocs for academics of any nationality who cannot continue their research due to US politics. Do share if you know of such.

Here, for @historyworkshop.org.uk I discuss the history of a refuge for trans women. I show women’s shared experiences of violence across the spectrum of cis and trans. I highlight histories of solidarity against male violence by feminists and trans women. academic.oup.com/hwj/advance-...

It's not a thing I talk about a lot, but last year I went through the *whole* process one can go through when it comes to being made redundant. I am still in post. I have no idea if my experiences are useful to others going through the same now, but if they might be, and you want to talk, reach out.

Out now: Rethinking Childhood in Modern Chinese History, edited by Isabella Jackson @isabellajackson.bsky.social and Yushu Geng, Routledge @routledgehistory.bsky.social #histchild #histed doi.org/10.4324/9781003321859

Truly honoured to receive these endorsements for my forthcoming book from historians who I so admire & whose work has inspired my research @lauragowing.bsky.social @juliehardwick.bsky.social @susannah-lw.bsky.social To read more & pre-order @bloomsburyfashion.bsky.social see the links in my bio!

This is very good and goes in front of my MA students next term for sure. It's a lot better than the various medium posts I've written but it's reassuring to see so many people arrive at the same answer after checking. No, AI is not capable of "replacing" historians. Not even close, wrong timezone.

So pleased to see this new volume, Shopping in Eighteenth-Century Europe published in our Routledge series. Congratulations to My Hellsing and Johanna Ilmakunnas for putting together such an interesting collection of essays! #skystorians #c18th 🗃️

Combining diplomacy with deals has long been a feature of US foreign policy, but Donald Trump seems to have taken that to a new level.
