Question for history of emotions folks: Who said that pre-modern people felt things differently? And is this is common sentiment? I gots questions…

"¿Y si sí?" A brief explainer of Mexico's new World Cup mantra

This is a brilliantly patriotic speech from @mayor.nyc.gov @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social on the eve of July 4th. Wow. Watch it.

Truly, I choked on this one 😂😂😂

“When you think about it, isn’t it the Pope who is schisming from us, instead of the other way around?”

“the harder you excommunicate us, the harder we will pray that your cold dead Grinch heart will grow three sizes and you will realize how wrong and misguided and sinful and bad and mean you have been, and we will stand benevolently ready to accept your apology on that day” are you bitches for real

IN COEUR D’ALENE?!?!? I cannot believe this. Extreme /s

The reason why it is essential to read IN BULK when studying history is not simply to amass empirical knowledge—though that is important, too, of course—but because *interpretation* requires thick contextual awareness, and there is NO SHORTCUT for building that up that awareness.

Asking how people can partake in joyful acts during a period of immense suffering leads me to believe this is your first time at the suffering rodeo.

If not, I happen to be an expert on them... 😈

let us not forget that in March, he called in journalist Gareth Gore for a private meeting to get all the way into Gore's research on Opus Dei. Gore didn't reveal details of what Pope Leo said, but he writes extensively here about what HE said and the horrific stories of abuse he shared

listen listen I do not want to get ANYONE'S hopes up but THEORETICALLY if I was a pope who wanted to take out Opus Dei - a significantly more powerful group, despite apparently only having like 1/3 the reported membership - I would want them sleeping with one eye open

Still cackling...

Monthly reminder: Many people have a book in them, but it takes a special kind of freak to leave the Land of Laziness, cross the Plains of Procrastination and Insecurity Mountain, find the Blade of No One Made You Do This, and use it to cut your chest open and yank that book out.

SLEEP WITH ONE EYE OPEN, MOTHERFUCKERS

Every member of Opus Dei just broke into a cold sweat and is wondering why...

This is amazing 😂

So we’re all cheering for the hott blonde ref, right? Right?

At the moment, looks like Spain's getting Naples.

Also great thread

For the next few days, every morning someone in America is waking up with ten fingers for the last time and doesn't know it.

You have never laughed as hard as the Washington Post reporter who wrote this sentence.

THIS THREAD The dissertation to book I am “finishing” presently is the combined total of roughly15 years of work in over 20 archives in 6? countries and over a dozen workshops, conferences, endless conversations and reading recommendations, AND IM STILL FINDING THINGS 😭 but I need it behind me.

Is it weird that this book has only one- and five-star ratings when it is so balanced and non-divisive? a.co/d/08tHBe3j

July 2, 1776. John Adams wrote to his wife and confidant the next day that "yesterday the greatest Question was decided, which ever was debated in America... these united Colonies are, and of right ought to be free and indepdent states." From the Journals of Congress, kept by Charles Thomson.

One of the security guards at the Bibliot4eca Nacional de España thinks I'm @marawilson.bsky.social and keeps calling me Matilda and it's super cute. He wants an autograph lol.

Hello! 👋 I'm hoping to raise money for two Bay Area cat rescues. If you post a screenshot of you donating at least $20, I will answer a style-related question for you. But first, let me tell you about the rescues, why they're worthy of your support, and hopefully get you to adopt a cat. 🧵

Excuse me but did anyone see this Carrera de Indias video game??? mucain.games/en/home/

Do people not know that there are at least ten musicologists on here who want to explain the answer to your music question to you so badly that they will drop everything to do it?

This is my lane. I went through the 194 Trump v Barbara opinion from yesterday section by section, noting what they got right about US migration and citizenship history, and what the dissents get wrong. Please share if you think it is helpful to others.

Hunty, those are INSIDE thoughts

The collective journalistic freakout over someone disliking a cafeteria sandwich at Oberlin or some Yale students asking their peers to be less racist at Halloween has generated far more copy and uproar than multiple universities illegally firing faculty for nonconservative speech they disliked.

To all you new #schism experts of the heretic skies, here is a thread you may like:

No seriously, every person who ever did something that made everything digital and also made us all have to do multifactor authentication can go all the way to hell.

I am very glad to see how widely covered the insanity at Exeter is, but please I beg everyone, understand this is happening EVERYWHERE in UK universities. If people care about anything valuable that this sector does or contributes too, they need to get loud, now.

Happy schism day, catholic friends!

Eagles tickets went on sale yesterday. I will never be able to afford to see my team play, which is pretty insane for a team that’s a champion of a working class city (no deadass I get the humor here trust me). Thank god for the other sports in my city, but someone make football prices make sense.

*the Alito article*

I have always had a (rather public) vendetta against historian who put “secret” or “hidden” history of X as a title 🤷‍♀️
