In the US, another blow for independent reasoning, as Trump fires 22 of the 26 members of the National Council for the Humanities, a board of "scholars and humanities leaders appointed by the president to six-year terms" who advise the chair of the NEH on grantmaking, policy and funding decisions."

Reposting for the early morning crowd: a three-year postdoc opportunity to work on early medieval correspondence

Goed verslag over het optreden van de politie tijdens een anti-abortusdemo op de campus vorige week. Als ooggetuige deel ik de observaties.

In zijn ijver zijn politieke mening over migratie en integratie met historische voorbeelden te staven, doet @steijehofhuis.bsky.social niet alleen de door specialisten opgedolven feiten geweld aan, maar rammelen ook veel van zijn redeneringen. Hierbij onze reactie: www.nrc.nl/nieuws/2025/...

The success of the far right is not only measured in votes and seats but in its impact on rhetoric, policy and ideology. The fact that a (nominally) social democratic head of government with a huge majority choses to say and do this is maybe the biggest success of the far right in Europe yet.

This is a problem.

Vidi pyramidas sine te, dulcissime frater/ et tibi quod potui, lacrimas hic maesta profudi… “I saw the pyramids without you, my dearest brother, and here I sadly shed tears for you, which is all I could” trans. Hobel Lien Foubert has a great article on the epigraphy & experience of ancient tourism

Another in the continuing series loosely titled “just about everything you have been told is ancient Celtic paganism was made up by some dude in the 1970s”:

“15m downloads a month and more than half their audience is under 35.” Good read on the success of The Rest Is History pod. Strikes me that mainstream broadcasters dumbing down history to “OMG #iconic” spoon-fed shite left a huge gap that they’re filling www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio...

When I started BretPal (almost two years ago 😪), I had one very clear research goal: to establish parameters for Breton Caroline minuscule (Bern, Burgerbibliothek, Cod. 85)

Well, that decides it. I was seriously thinking of applying for the open position in Medieval History at UT-Knoxville. Not now. I won't give any time, energy, or support to an institution that sides WITH fascists, racists, and promoters of murder, & AGAINST free speech. Shame on you, UT.

We're thrilled to post an interview with @svenmeeder.bsky.social about his new book. He actually beat us to by posting himself but we'll forgive him!

Iedereen die #Bontenbal geweldig vindt, raad ik aan om de komende tijd het stemgedrag van het #cda in de #tweedekamer in de gaten te houden.

Can highly recommend this volume as a holiday gift --as an added bonus you can even read my article within it about the judicial experiences of vulnerable groups in the Carolingian empire.

Something new on the blog today: an interview with @leafandstream.bsky.social about his recent book on Willibrord longhairedkingsblog.wordpress.com/2025/08/19/w...

Many thanks to @karanthir.bsky.social for featuring my book @livunipress.bsky.social on his blog & interviewing me about my research on Willibrord and the wider context of his biography, i. e. the Merovingian world around 700. Already looking forward to the next parts in the series!

Jesus fucking Christ we're doomed.

I have yet to see the book myself, but the ‪@cua-press.bsky.social‬ website assures me that my edition of the Collectio CCCC capitulorum is now out! This early medieval collection of canon law has been with me for a very long and I am happy to see it published www.cuapress.org/978081323847... 1/2

Are you interested in medieval perspectives on #intersectionality? Then join our session at the next year's #IMC! @queebees.bsky.social @thiliel.bsky.social @isabelleschuerch.bsky.social @imc-leeds.bsky.social

NEW: 18,500 children have been killed by Israeli forces in Gaza. The Washington Post has just published every single known name. A seminal moment.

Bye forever, WeTransfer.

Deze asielwetten zijn asociaal, onverantwoord en onmenselijk. De sociale meerderheid in Nederland wil geen symboolpolitiek, maar menselijke oplossingen. We hebben nog één kans om deze wetten tegen te houden. En jij kunt ons helpen. Teken de petitie: groenlinkspvda.nl/petitie/stop...

The entire Latino population in the U.S. is 65 million. She means all of us.

The first people stripped of their German citizenship and made stateless was a list of 33 people published on August 25, 1933. 39,006 people were stripped of their citizenship during the Nazi regime. The final Ausbürgerungsliste was published on April 7, 1945, a month before the end of the war.

Geen mens is illegaal

Ik verwacht dat @eppobruins.bsky.social wat veranderingen in de wet voorstelt (n.a.v. interview HOP)

Here's how we know this EO is a SNEAKY sinister thing: 1. When Trump wants people to know about something, it is very public. 2. It was released on the Friday evening of a holiday weekend 3. Cloaked under piles of sciencey language 4. First thing this morning, loud and proud: RFK's vax rollback

"She was also Gaza’s youngest influencer, offering practical survival tips for daily life under bombardment, such as advice on how to cook with improvised methods when there was no gas. 'I try to bring a bit of joy to the other children so that they can forget the war. '”

Hey world, remember when you thought this was awesome? (Which, by the way, it was). Yeah well she's been suspended for a week now because of it; it's coloniser rules and forms of expression allowed only, indigenous people must only be angry in white ways. www.rnz.co.nz/news/politic...
