Historian unashamedly obsessive about anything to do with 1918-19 flu pandemic. Or weissbier. Also interested in history ofepidemics, vaccination, southern Irish Protestant identity, newspapers, oral history, current affairs…and I love good company.

For sure. I teach and research history of vaccine preventable disease and constantly meet people who misunderstand vaccine hesitancy or have no compassion for the vaccine hesitant

Thank you! Yes, when I started reading the letters that’s exactly the line I was thinking along - this shared future had been there in the past, just not fully documented, nor its significance recognised!

Today, the UN officially designated Israel’s assault on Gaza as a genocide.

As a party to the Genocide Convention, the U.S. has a legal obligation to obey our own laws, stop weapons sales to Israel, and demand a permanent ceasefire.

End the genocide. Ceasefire now.

Well called. If we want to move forward, we need to respect all traditions. Border lives are complicated. And reporters need to understand that better, and ensure their reportage does not look like bias.

Women’s day is great. And we need it. But wouldn’t it be lovely to live in a world where we didn’t need it! That would be the ultimate success of the day.

#OtD 5 Mar 1943 a strike broke out at the Fiat Mirafiori plant in Turin. The strike spread and, within a week, 100k workers were out. Authorities arrested 850 workers but were forced to concede. Learn more about the Italian resistance to fascism here: workingclasshistory.com/podcast/e77-80-it...
