A pile of books
So I went to get one book to plug a hole in a footnote...and ended up also getting my own copies of 4 core texts (admittedly at very good prices)
This is all @kevinlinch.bsky.social's fault and I also shouldn't be allowed to shop books alone 🤣

An empty classroom
The dust settles on the first day of seminars of the semester.
Mostly good attendance, mostly good engagement so far...what could possibly go wrong?

The Fencible Regiments in Britain and Ireland, 1793-1802
Join Rory Butcher as he shares the ‘forgotten’ history of the Fencible Regiments, assessing their role during the period of deep national crisis that accompanied the Wars of the French Revolution.
With me finally wrapping up my PhD, I can also announce that I will be speaking at @NAM_London on Friday 5 December, 12-1pm, about the fencibles, civil-military relations, and martial masculinity. I'll be there in person, but it can be watched online *and* is free!

And that's the first full draft of my phd thesis compiled and sent to supervisors.

I know I've been rather little quiet on here of late. Rest assured I am doing just fine (even if juggling PhD, work, personal stuff, and hobbies is a lot).
In a small update, however, I've officially pressed go on "my" part of the intent to submit - it's nearly over!

Life stuff (our car imploding) rather scuppered a phd-focused end to the week, but I absolutely loved going to @camhistory.bsky.social to present on this aspect of my research.
Massive thanks to @1812andallthat.bsky.social at for inviting/hosting me, and to Col John Baillie for this title quote

I just want it on record that I *hate* writing literature reviews. I know they're necessary but why can't I just say "I promise I've read some stuff"

And now to @kevinlinch.bsky.social about the Georgian Army Officers project! Genuinely such a worthwhile piece of work, and a practical tool that I've already been able to make good use of

In possibly a bad move for most of my friends' wallets, I'd like to draw your attention to the 60% OFF SPRING SALE that Oxfam are running

I completely understand the need for banks to use 2-factor authentication on major purchases to prevent fraud.
But can we safely assume that if someone's stolen my card, they're not buying a copy of @historymatt.bsky.social's "The Independent Man"?

Highlights from today's first year teaching include:
- How do you demonstrate liking something? "Annoy people online with fan fiction"
- "Imagine inconveniencing the archbishop of Canterbury"

Much appreciated! I'm sure you were 100% focused the entire time
I just need to be unfocused enough to get this book in when it comes out...
