Excited to dig into this on an impulse buy from a local bookstore. This is very intertwined with my area of study so excited to see what Hochschild makes of it.

Just saw Conclave.
I genuinely have no idea how to feel.
Re-upping intro post because thereβs 700-plus people now thanks to the starter pack Iβm in. Incredibly company for sure and very excited to join with all of you.
Iβm also interested in the growth of mutualistas during this period and seek to do what I can to emulate that energy. I work full time I sales for a telecom bc health insurance and 401(k) but always looking to lend where I can.

If I wanted to hear from a blowhard heir who was radicalized into the worst parts of his culture, Iβd watch Tucker Carlson
Weβre in!
βWarmaking on the State Level in the Great Warβ with @akimlinger.bsky.social, Annette Amerman, Richard Wasserman and myself is a GO at SMH 2024!
Would it be weird to message someone on Ancestry.com to see if their great-grandfather was even discussed or if thereβs anything left from him? Because this guy was FASCINATING but left little behind.
Dim room with PowerPoint reading βTies That Bind: India, Brighton & the First World Warβ with a black and white picture of First World War Indian soldiers
PowerPoint reading βThe lovely Georginaβ Entertaining each other in the Great Warβ
PowerPoint reading βJust to Let you know Iβm still alive: postcards from ww1β made to look like a postcard with First World War era stamps
I won chocolate called βHokey Pokey crunchβ and Iβm holding it in my hand
A great time at Great War Groupβs conference in Brighton so far and itβs only halfway through the day!
An Anglican Church with white arches and a dark wood ceiling. The altar is draped in green.
Felt more than a little overwhelmed with *motions hands at everything* so went to a local church green in Brighton for a midday service and prayer. Absolutely lovely.
British reliance on instant coffee is why we left.
It is a primordial truth known to anyone who has even glanced at fundamentalist groups that they are, at their coreβ¦catty, pissy bitches who hate each other over dumb shit.
So saying Hamas = ISIS is really funny because those particular catty bitches ABSOLUTELY hate each other
Thatβs funny because Iβm the exact opposite. Started as military focused, specifically WW1β¦ and am now branching out to immigration and empire.
Hello! MA student but would love to be added
Iβm a historian of the 19th and early 20th centuries, banging a spoon against a pot yelling βINVASION AND PARASITE AND PEST LANGUAGE WHEN TALKING ABOUT FELLOW HUMAN BEINGS MEANS WEβRE ALREADY THERE.β ποΈ
Itβs so annoying right? That not substance-ing and also working out regularly and eating better actually do help.
What a racket. Absolutely ridiculous
Trying to get through a law history article is like⦠two sentences, then the rest of the page is inscrutable footnotes.
Watching βordinary menβ and the fact that Benjamin Ferencz doesnβt have a national holiday in his honor is INSANITY ποΈ
Has Bluesky gotten the Always Reblog Tom Holland's Umbrella process underway yet?
Having a mind-blown moment that is like. Something that should have made sense but is still wild to think aboutβ¦.
Like how the Flying Artillery of the MexAm war is the grandpappy of WW1βs Rolling Barrage! ποΈ
Iβm balancing a lot which I was doing pretty okay withβ¦ until one of those things started having regular four hour meetings.
Trying out a travel agent side hustle with a personal aim toward historically-centered trips. If any #skyhistorians want to chat about their tours/work in public history, Iβm all ears ποΈ
I donβt know the age range for this but a FWW group Iβm in has this childrenβs book written by the founder: uk.bookshop.org/p/books/firs...
Iβ¦ have not finished s1 π«£
When you go diving on JSTOR and find an article that is exactly what you were looking for down to the footnotes ποΈ
Would love to be a part of that myself as well!
Turned on my computer and INSTANTLY had a headache.
Is that what remote work has been all this time?
