Fellow authors, I love you, and I know it feels like we don’t have a choice, but B&N and Am*zon both scheduled sales this week to preempt Independent Bookstore Day, a hugely vital source of income for indie bookstores. Please don’t promote their sales; please promote your local indie this week.

I don't think I've laughed as hard since Four Seasons Landscaping :-)

Picture of my book Teenage Intimacies: Young women, sex and social life in England 1950-80

‘Teenage Intimacies’ is now officially out in the world! It’s a history of teenage sexuality in postwar England that speaks to ideas of growing up, adolescence, friendship, family, identity, culture and education. It’s been a long time coming but I’m really proud of the end result! 🗃️ #histsex

Don't judge a book by its cover. Judge it by its index.

PSA: VG Wort Meldefrist ist der 31. Januar.

Every 19th century German academic: after Abitur at the age of 16 they defended their thesis (17 pages, 3 footnotes) on Hegel at 23 in Tübingen, followed by a habilitation on Roman History at 25 in Marburg. Then held the chair of medicine at the Karl-Justus-Heinrich-Wilhelm-Universität for 55 years.

YouTube video by Andrea Geier Wunder geschehen? Wie Weihnachtsfilme vom Glück im Kapitalismus erzählen

Zweiter Advent, kein Wunder in Sicht, aber ihr seid wunderbedürftig? Zeit für Weihnachtsfilme! Hier stecken viele Anregungen drin. #WeihnachtsfilmeLesen

Das Nein der Union Die Unionsfraktion im Bundestag will vor der Wahl keine größeren Vorhaben von SPD und Grünen mehr durchwinken. Was das Schicksal von WissZeitVG oder DATI endgültig besiegeln dürfte. Nachvollziehbar?

Wenig Überraschend: Die Novellierung des #WissZeitVG hat sich offensichtlich dank der fehlenden Parlamentsmehrheit von rot-grün erledigt.

Das Fazit von @jmwiarda.bsky.social:
"oft drängte sich der Eindruck auf: Es fehlt an Willen und an Können".

Two stages of writing:

1) This shouldn't take too long
2) Oh no

"these were the objections he had to urge at the moment, though no doubt, with more time he should discover more defects, and have more objections to state".

Horace Twiss, writer and Tory MP, invokes the spirit of "Reviewer 2" on the reform bill in 1831.

Herzlichen Glückwunsch, das sind ja klasse Neuigkeiten!
