this is the most powerful and cogent argument I’ve read on why not to rank Cuomo. simply: he hates NYC. Read this thread.

This looks so interesting! Cannot wait to read!

I can’t believe I could just walk to the Süleymaniye on bayram and then have this little creature come sit in my arms in one of the most beautiful places in the world.

Can we please find a way to write articles so we don’t have to cite everything ever written on the topic, and struggle to find ways to nicely say why they’re wrong.

Canceled all my plans to work on an article and I have one (excellent) introductory paragraph to show for it. Am still doing life wrong.

Levels of ridiculousness I can’t deal with. Now we need people to assign them so AI can make up “book reports” for students who don’t read and professors who don’t grade.

Love to see my book reviewed in the company of great books by Will Smiley and Vladimir Hamed-Troyansky. Thank you, @mcerovic.bsky.social for your engagement and framing in terms of transimperial history.

This man then got on the subway and made jokes involving knight puns for two stops. As a pun-averse person in academia, I don’t think I deserved any of this.

Turned a thousand years old today and walked 12k steps after throwing myself a dinner and can definitely say I feel my age.

Just googled “how do you know if your headache is an aneurysm.” Current stress level.

Have been screaming inside all day thinking about the kind of person who goes to talks and steals ideas. Then they write - and because no one writes critical book reviews - they get away with it again and again.

I see a lot of you are worried about your stocks so I’m glad I invested all my money in the one asset that will NEVER decline in value: tulips

100% this. I can’t imagine studying languages, doing research, or writing my book without FLAS, Fulbright-Hays, NEH, and the defunct SSRC humanities fellowships. It kills me that grad students and junior scholars don’t have these opportunities.

Wondering if I should order a case of Campari — or let tariffs make me into a better Muslim.

Destroy this myth. Please share if you have visited and researched in a library this past year! RT And give a shout out to your favorite library you have ever visited.

One of the most poignant, beautifully crafted and shot films I have watched this year. mubi.com/en/us/films/...

Ayat in Ditmas Park is so good! Take your friends and go have amazing Palestinian food.

This is the most confusing thing I have seen on this site so far. I don’t know anymore what is parody but I’m pretty sure calling this shawarma should be illegal. Am I not being nice? Do I need to stop?

I love when ILL doesn’t allow renewals for a book that not a single other person is likely to use for a decade.

Part of my little apartment garden, trying to give me some motivation on a Monday morning

Why are there so many weird accounts on here with no names, descriptions, real photos?

Can’t wait to read. Congrats @zozanpehlivan.bsky.social!

Have been really down lately but hate-reading something is cheering me up. Sometimes I think you need a nemesis to keep you going.

Help me spread the word by reposting, and please let me know if you want to be added / have suggestions.

Sometimes I read about all the archives someone has worked in and the 27 languages involved and I think SPY!

the use of the history of Japanese internment as a manual rather than as a cautionary tale really sums up where we're at politically

Was going to make the “neurotic intellectuals and academics starter pack” but would have to include 90% of us that migrated.

Another great book by a brilliant colleague. Check out @leylaamzi.bsky.social The Afterlife of Ottoman Europe, and my review: www.h-net.org/reviews/show...

I reviewed Nora Barakat’s erudite and important book. I learned so much along the way. Check out the book and review!

This site feels so… chaotic?

Who is afraid of the Balkans? at the Ottoman Turkish Studies Assocation Conference at Northwestern with @anasekulic.bsky.social @edinh.bsky.social @harunb.bsky.social Uğur Zekeriya Peçe @lalehjoon.bsky.social

Had many bourbons and then came home and found milk chocolate with hazelnuts in my purse and this is the happiest I’ve been in weeks.

Reading this "So You Want to be a Historian" piece that people kept recommending (which I don't think is so great for teaching, TBH) but there are a lot of historians who might want to think about this part:"If anything matters more to you that your own integrity, [cont'd; no idea how to do a thread

Very confused about the use of this site. ME and History people: are we breaking up with Twitter/X or are we dragging out a toxic relationship while also playing the field?

Some beauty to start. Very much regretting not diving off (though in my defense, I grew up in Brooklyn and didn’t learn how to do these things and would probably have injured myself).
