Wonderful news for and from our colleagues at George Mason University! May this good energy visit us here in Charlottesville!

Team: I’m thrilled to report that Worlds Turned Upside Down has surpassed 100,000 downloads on the strength of 17 episodes. I’ll have a full slate of thanks once I return from the Emerald Isle next week, but for now, thanks for listening!

We've got another exciting #AMA #Skystorians! Camille Kaminski Lewis is here to answer questions about her new book "Clemson UP's Klandamentalism: Bob Jones at the Intersection of Revivalism, Politics, and White Supremacy." Bring all your best questions!

Bsky is extremely helpful for seeing books I might not otherwise notice to invite folks for @askhistorians.bsky.social AMAs, especially outside my own research areas. There are a few #SkyStorians with new or forthcoming books that may get a cold email from me soon

My intro to digital history class at GMU this Fall is themed around the Salem Witchcraft Trials. It was ideally not going to be an immersive learning experience

Just to reiterate: What this administration is doing right now is orders of magnitude more dangerous for academic freedom and free speech than anything the right has spent the last 30 years complaining about.

#AMA time! #Skystorians can swing by AskHistorians to chat with Dr. Oz Frankel about his new book "Coca-Cola, Black Panthers, and Phantom Jets: Israel in the American Orbit, 1967-1973", & about Israel & America's deeply entwined relationship with culture, society, and technology!

We have a great AMA today over on @askhistorians.bsky.social where Dr. Oz Frankel is discussing the history of the US and Israel's relationship in the 60s and 70s

This is serious. Very serious.

Mark your calendars #Skystorinas, because on Monday July 28th we've got an exciting
AMA with Dr. Oz Frankel, author of Coca-Cola, Black Panthers, and Phantom Jets: Israel in the American Orbit, 1967-1973!

Two deleted comments: "Interesting topic so I'm here for the answers" "Just me or is the sub getting flooded with frankly stupid questions? Mods should delete with prejudice."

On one hand, we love human curiosity. On the other hand, we love carte blanche to delete things so

A little birdy reminded us that it's been quite a while since we updated our profile picture, so please bid a sad farewell to Juana Asnoorduy and give a warm welcome to Señor de Snoopán!

"But the marketplace of ideas..."

If someone turns up to your marketplace selling poisoned apples, you don't sit back and trust in market forces, you send that Disney villain packing asap.

We Banned Holocaust Deniers From Our History Subreddit. Here’s Why Facebook Should Do the Same. They aren’t arguing an actual side. They’re not “just asking questions” out of curiosity or ignorance. Don’t give them the chance.

Apropos of nothing, your regular reminder that it is not in fact necessary to platform bigots.

Thanks so much to everyone who joined me for the AMA today! It was so much fun!! Thank you especially to @dhowlett1692.bsky.social for the information and for all the great advice. More on so many of the things we talked about can be found in my book: www.hup.harvard.edu/books/978067...

Our AMA with historian Sarah Gold McBride, author of Whiskerology, is now LIVE! 🚨

Join now to learn all about the history of hair and facial hair in America: tinyurl.com/yc7nh3mt 🥸

Come check out this AMA on a fascinating topic!

Funding cuts to PBS and NPR, attempts to stop the Wall Street Journal from publishing, Colbert canceled.

Do not take a free press for granted. We need to fight for it.

what's pissing me off is that it would've been important to read Trump's letter to Epstein BEFORE he became the most powerful person on Earth, especially for the SECOND TIME

Not to worry! The link will stay live so you can still enjoy the Q&A long after Dr. McBride wraps up the AMA!

We might be back online! Its 50/50 if I trust Reddit to stay up in the first half hour after a server incident

Hopefully this won't be a long delay, sometimes Reddit just glitches, but www.redditstatus.com shows they're already looking into it

Me, in the AMA right now!! Great questions.

Happening now on AskHistorians! Come check it out! www.reddit.com/r/AskHistori...
