Jag tillhör gruppen som det smöras våldsamt för, etniskt svensk välmående medelklass, och jag vill inte ha en spänn mer i sänkt skatt. Jag hade fått nog av jobbskatteavdrag redan på Anders Borgs tid. Jag vill leva i ett samhälle som fungerar och håller ihop. Det minskade skatteuttaget syns överallt.

To be fair, we are also part of a group of people who spend their time researching stuff that happened hundreds of years ago, so 35 years is pretty damned new!

I still think of suburbs that were built in my home town 35 years ago as "new" 🫤

THE HISTORY OF KNOWLEDGE CONFERENCE

This week, on 8–10 October, LUCK is organizing The History of Knowledge Conference in Lund. I am delighted to be the host together with my dear colleagues.

The programme can be found here: newhistoryofknowledge.com/wp-content/u...

„Glück entsteht oft durch Aufmerksamkeit in kleinen Dingen, Unglück oft durch Vernachlässigung kleiner Dinge.“

- Wilhelm Busch

The Ig Nobel is incredible , one year an Indian guy won it for calculating the average surface area of an elephant and during his acceptance they had an elephant hold up a sign with the surface area of the scientist on it, they do showbiz better than the Oscars

It might be tempting to do some compromising ‘both sides’ work by saying yes to the suggestion that the pools are ‘biological’ at certain times, or that there are segregated bathrooms. Don’t. Don’t give *any* credence to the idea that trans people are inherently threatening or dangerous.

"It is important to analyze these transformations through contingency, creativity, choice, and myopia. That kind of subjectivity—the striving for a future, the inability to see that future—is the crux of the historical question."

@konstantindierks.bsky.social, In My Power (2009), pp. 11-12.

Full program for 2025-6 for the IHR Low Countries Seminar. All meetings both in person and online. To register for any session, go to www.history.ac.uk/seminars/low...

Would appreciate any opportunity to put my thinking into dialogue with fellow scholars! Am also available to speak on podcasts and other media about my work, which covers gender, embodiment, mobility & exercise in relation to early modern drama, but also the contemporary resonances of these topics.

"The cool, dry air of the cave preserved the shoe perfectly. There it stayed, tucked among branches, as generations of vultures carefully maintained the nesting site."

Extraordinary - I also didn't know that vulture nests are basically permanent structures that pass from one generation to the next!
