Today I think of the brave, beautiful people in Budapest marching for queer rights. This is not about Hungary, this is about a horrible tendency that is spreading.

This would be far more restrictive than Russian archival policy, if it's what people are speculating it might be.

A few tips for NEH grantees: 1) if you've spent money on an awarded grant but have not yet drawn down the funds, make sure to submit the paperwork to drawn down funds ASAP. 2) the NYTimes article suggests that "DOGE" might cancel awards. If you receive an email from DOGE cancelling your NEH award,

Everyone wants there to be a grand scheme behind all of this but the terrible truth is that extremely stupid people are in charge and they have a fanatical devotion to wrong, childlike concepts of society and economics cooked up by right wing radio hosts in order to sell tainted dietary supplements

This is really the scary scenario. Brain Drain from the US. Before the Nazis, US academics looked up to European academia. We’re headed back there.

I think this is a real problem. It isn't that military history is 'dead' - it isn't - but that it is so uneven in its distribution in the broader field. Some departments have a lot; many have nothing. Some grad students get a background in it; many get nothing.

Once again, the rise of the AfD and its relatively greater popularity in the East has led to yet another round of discussion around the legacy of the GDR and contemporary German politics. A short thread:

Hey Germanists! Came across the term “Sinnierkugel” but can’t find a translation anywhere. Context is a memoir of a survivor of the 27.2.45 bombing of Leipzig. Anyone know what this was????

Alright so BlueSky has no algorithms but has a feature whereby you can create your own custom algorithmic feed, which it here’s can use too, lets say “Germany history and studies”… problem is you need to go to GitHub and write the code yourself and I’m useless at that. Can anyone help me??? 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏😁🤔
