Trying my damnedest not to focus on war news. It's not working. But I'm still indulging myself in a little sentimentality about The Boy who's getting frighteningly close to turning 20.
Did these fuckwits expect that oil prices would somehow go down?

For International Women's Day, here is Katharina Schütz Zell of Strasbourg (1497-1562), the first known female Protestant reformer. She wrote a number of evangelical pamphlets calling for the reform of the church, despite the disapproval of her male colleagues, with whom she occasionally clashed.
And then there's this.
Ugh. Worst case of false advertising since The Neverending Story
Looks lurid but promising...
Hi #EarlyModern Bluesky - did you know that someone brilliant has built working printing presses using Lego and they are trying to get enough supporters so that Lego will release it as a kit?
They look so cool!

Stumbled upon this in my photo archive. Wow. My brother looked a lot younger eight years ago.

At least once a week I have a reason to mutter under my breath, "f**king Indiana." Not that Ohio is a whole lot better, but still...

Btw I'm putting together a CFP and eventually some panels for #scsc26 on "the colonial reformations" if anyone is interested/has ideas. #reformazing
I thought I’d start posting with a little story about a colleague and his research. (Warning: a long thread ensues) (1/14)
It looks like it will... and some other projects, too.
Instead of RSA, I did this... a gathering of (most of) the folks in N Am working with early mod Scandinavia. Glad I did. What a group of people to work with. New projects, new collaborations, new directions. More to come, and soon... #earlymodern #skystorians #nordichistory
