Ich bin gestern auch arg durch Berlin gerutscht! Die Straßen sind frei, Gehwege aber kaum - abgesehen von der HU, die wohl vor der eigenen Haustür gut kehrt.

This list of AI-commonalities might actually double quite well as a general list of "don'ts" to use when teaching academic writing.

Here's a question for fellow researchers: Where/how are you discovering great scholarship? I feel like search engines are not doing a great job, and I miss the lists of books and articles that were on aaaaarg.

I made a piece of software! It’s called the film|minutes video|graphic workstation. It’s pretty niche but cool if you want to take notes or do very close readings of films/videos.

The 19th century abolitionist movement utilized a diversity of tactics and engaged in constant critical internal debate in the mission to end slavery. The movement needed speeches, lawyers, lawbreakers, newspapers, and armed resisters. History teaches us that freedom requires all of the above.

#archives are fascinating! Since 2011, I've traveled to archives (first for films and film paratexts, then pre-1800 American literature) as a (North) Americanist (not a 'real' historian). I've accumulated both thoughts on archives (and their transformation) and anecdotes about archival research.

spent this afternoon reading some early US history (as one does) and was reminded of the important fact that these people were almost constantly drunk as hell
