Always great people-watching at the gym during history conferences. An eminent southern historian on the chest press! A well-regarded borderlands historian doing leg extensions! One of my professional nemeses exhibiting poor form on the treadmill! 🗃️

The head of Night on the Tomb of Giuliano de'Medici by Michelangelo. 🌙 ⭐ Look at the nocturnal hints in her tiara: two lunar crescents surrounding a star.
Next week we’ll release an in-depth conversation with Michelangelo scholar Prof. William E. Wallace.

'The National Archives has digitised a vast data set of more than 700,000 pages, painstakingly transcribing census returns in a process which took three years, that gives an intimate snapshot of a nation in its infancy and the lives of a recorded population of 2.97 million.' #Skystorians

The 1926 Irish census is up and searchable! I've already found my Hegarty's exactly where I expected them so that is always nice. Wish I could figure out more about them, but that is an "after I finish my homework" problem to solve nationalarchives.ie/collections/...

We need historians not just to understand the past, but to shape what comes next.
As we look ahead, the work of historians remains essential to public life, education, and a thriving democracy.
What should we better understand about the past as we think about the future? 🗃️

The Declaration of Independence was breaking news in 1776, but it didn’t reach everyone the same way.
In Smithsonian Magazine, AHA member Rebecca Brenner Graham highlights fellow AHA member Emily Sneff’s research on how news of US independence spread through a fragmented information landscape. 🗃️

🧵 The @oah.org (Org. of American Historians) annual conference is now in Philadelphia. I was supposed to be on a panel on history as creative writing. Just couldn't do it. But here are some thoughts. Let's start with this fact: There are Pulitzers in History and Biography, but not Sociology. 1/16

"Science without poetry lacks imagination, but notably, it also lacks a moral compass."
Today's #histSTM & #biology lunchtime read: Henry Cowles explores the mixed legacy of Jean-Baptiste Lamarck in his @lareviewofbooks.bsky.social essay on Jessica Riskin's The Power of Life. 🗃️📜📚

Jessica Riskin’s Lamarckian (history of) science is a remarkably transformative work.

Haven't made it through all 41 essays for my Photographic Histories module (7 to go!), but it's a fantastic batch, and almost GenAI-free. It's great to see students take their feminist chops to Kodak and its advertising - helped by having handled my own Kodak pocket model at the start of term. 📷📸🗃️

As hanami, flower blossom viewing, spread among commoners during the Edo period, so too did the popularity of cherry blossoms in woodblock prints.
This visual tradition carried into the Meiji era through hand-colored photographs and postcards - but something curious emerges here. 🧵

Not all the medieval English eel-rents were due to English landlords. In 1086, for example, the Abbey of St. Denis in Paris was owed eels by 2 mills in Taynton.
Rather than demanding a shipment of eels, though, the abbot demanded his rent in coin. 'Cause landlords are the worst.🗃️🧪

“Spies and Space” was not what I expected.
Cold War nostalgia on one side. Soviet triumph and propaganda on the other.

Re-upping this for the Friday crowd: My piece on The Secret Agent, and the revisiting of life under dictatorship in 1970s Brazil through the prisms of carnival and film genre.
All reposts (and subscriptions) much appreciated. x

The Secret Agent
This political thriller draws upon motifs of carnival and film genre to evoke the paranoia, lawlessness, and inequality of 1970s Brazil.

🐭 A 3,500 year-old ring set with a mouse design amulet, Egypt.
The mouse was rarely considered sacred in Egyptian art but both a deep play on words and a peculiar medical belief lie behind the ring.
