Now that's a new way of #catfishing - play to the academic's vanity and grab them by their self-love 😅

#skystorians

There we go: our two weeks of summerschools just started...

#earlymodern #skystorians

Giovanni Gellera on John Mair

Ruth Atherton on Osiander

Having a great time at #reforc2025 with a great paper yesterday by @giovannigellera.bsky.social and right now a fascinating one on Osiander by @ruthatherton.bsky.social

Looking forward to the rest of it...

Andreas Dettwiler giving his farewell

It was great to attend the valedictory lecture of @dettwiler.bsky.social

Thank you Andreas for everything you have done for the faculty (and beyond)!

Portrait of François Hotman in somber colors; he is wearing a white ruff and his right hand is placed on this torso, underneath a large black cape. The image features the name of the conference and of the lecturer, as well as the place and time. At the bottom of the image, a pink band with the mentions "Institut d'histoire de la Réformation" and "Université de Genève"

Next Monday, our PhD candidate Christian Martens will present his thesis research “François Hotman (1524-1590): humanisme juridique, historiographie et engagement politique”. See you at 12 PM in Uni Dufour (U365), Geneva! Presentation in French. More details on www.unige.ch/ihr/fr/accue...

Looking forward to welcoming @jpowellmcnutt.bsky.social in Geneva in ten days!

Thanks for sharing widely
#earlymodern #skystorians

Bad news indeed. We will miss you excellent scholars coming abroad!
#skystorians #academicsky

Really useful, thanks for creating this!! #earlymodern #skystorians

A G-rated impression from our recent PhD-Lunch: @jebbb.bsky.social presenting his research on #OriginalSin in #16thCentury exegetical debates, which we announced in such graphic detail that #bsky censored us (poor #Eve, but there is no such thing as prelapsarian fig leaves...)

#earlymodern

Plutôt @ihr-geneva.bsky.social - au plaisir de te voir!

Looking very much forward to listen to @julienleonard.bsky.social in Geneva!

The Swiss Academy of Humanities and Social Sciences (SAGW) readvertizes its portal on "Cultures and Societies": if you're interested in learning more about jobs, events and publications in the SSH (mainly, but not exclusively in a Swiss context), have a look at it: www.cult-soc.ch/en/cult-soc/ 🗃️

I probably shouldn't like this 😂

First drills

Putting the pieces together

Almost there

Done!

Today was a good day for some #MentalDiversification. We have a new wardrobe now!

#DoItYourself

Oh, sorry. In the common Late Medieval Latin translation of Aristotle, a woman is a "mas occasionatus" (a defective male). I thought you refer to that...

#earlymodern #skystorians

You "occasionally" get angry? Great wordplay 🤭

#NRW hat neue Zahlen zur "Entfristungsquote der wissenschaftlichen Beschäftigten" an Hochschulen vorgelegt (Vorlage 18/3369). Und da staunt man nicht schlecht über das Eigenlob: der Anteil an Unbefristeten sei von 54% (2017) auf 70% (2023) gestiegen! -Wie das möglich ist? Lest selbst. #IchBinHanna

The most revealing part is the "bright, well-organized kitchen" I'd say 🤭

So the lesson to be learned is once again: buy a new phone.

🗃️ Card File Box Emoji A black or gray box with a label holder, containing card index dividers with multicolored tabs, as used to organize and store files. Apple and Facebook&rsq...

Thanks, that's probably the reason. In addition, there are two different Shortcodes for this emoji, :card_file_box: and :card_box:, see emojipedia.org/card-file-bo...

Now that's fun. Here's how they look to me, and as a matter of fact, if I use the first one (the one of my phone's set), posts are not included in the “What’s History” feed that collects posts with the second one

I've a problem with #emojis here on #bluesky: if I'm on the phone, I have to use the phone's set of emojis which are different from the standard bluesky ones (compare 🗃 with 🗃️). Some #feeds depend on the standard set, though, and posts written on the phone will not be loaded. Any #workaround?

I'm a bit confused about their opening statement:

"While historians have been able to digitize physical typewritten documents using [...] (OCR), handwriting, with its individual styles, has until recently resisted recognition by computers."

Aren't we doing this for more than a decade now? #dh 🗃

It's true students are less religiously literate nowadays. But the Reformation still has much to teach them about ideas, fights over ideas and consequences of ideas. Studying the social, cultural and political management of difference remains as relevant as ever. #reformazing
