Missing the last day of “Queer British History” panels today but leaving #NACBS2025 with lots to think about and weird pictures after spending a day doing Montreal the @tomhulme.bsky.social way. Au revoir, montreal!

#NACBS2026 in Montreal! Haven't been back to this city since I was finishing my MA at UVM, so it feels nice to return (even if I am so close to VT/home but can't visit anyone because I didn't rent a car). The weirdnesses of academia

Counterpoint | Minnesota humanities graduates thrive in meaningful careers "The stereotype of the underemployed history major is simply not true," professor Andrea Kaston Tange writes.

MAGA Rage at “No Kings” Boils Over—and It Quickly Backfires on Trump As Trump allies smear the coming protests, a good writer on MAGA skewers the absurdity of these attacks on large swaths of Americans—and explains why our best recourse will be to turn out in force.

I teach a history of antifascism course @ruhistorydept.bsky.social and figured I'd start an ongoing thread this semester to share some insights from course readings and recommend some great works on antifascism.
