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.

I heard that too but how the hell could that be based on the wording of that release? I’m still worried too.

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

Yes that’s the one— supposedly the oldest in Berlin. 700 yrs old?

Eli Rubin @erubin.bsky.social · 15/06/2025

There’s also the tree along the Ludwig Jahn Sportpark which is where the first Sammlung that led to the 1848 uprising. And the oldest is I think in the Tegeler Wald?

Eli Rubin @erubin.bsky.social · 15/06/2025

I love the history of Berlin trees which have seen everything come and go. One of the oldest is near the Neue Stastsbibliothek, withstood Speer’s demolitions and bombing and intense combat! I think it dates back to the time of the Great Elector

Part of the idea is to showcase some of the newest research from newer voices in the field, but also to provide a bookend to Kathy Pence and Paul Betts’ 2008 “Socialist Modern”. Two of the contributors, Bri Smith & Tom Smith (no relation) will be at the launch to talk on their research on the GDR.

Hey all— New edited volume just appeared, “Socialist Subjectivities: Queering East Germany under Honecker”. The editors, Katharine White and Scott Harrison are hosting a virtual book launch this Thursday 4 pm ET. I’ll be moderating (and I wrote the conclusion!!!). Please join! Link is below ⬇️

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

Yeah I don’t understand why UNC, which surely has the resources, can’t offer to support foreign visitors in this way. All universities should… this is a simple thing that would go a long way to reassuring scholars to visit US campuses.

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.
