Contrary to billing change over time as our beat, as a historian I'm here to tell you that violence against women is an absolute constant. Not generations but centuries of activism & policies have made that violence only somewhat more public. Our daily news reminds us how and why.

Family history and genealogy, media juicing up controversy and fawning over science while failing to get that yes the historical analysis was conclusive. I couldn't not write about this! Shorter: just read @agordonreed.bsky.social. karinwulf.com/trove/the-fa...

What is the logic of people who get on the train and start calling everyone they know to discuss super personal stuff? (Yes, I was in the quiet car. No, she didn’t care.)

Optimist: The cup is half full. Pessimist: The cup is half empty. Historian: Cups are actually much more complicated than that.

A brief gender historian rant-- Journalists & pundits widely agree that the woman constantly at the president's side & with access to his social media clearly has enormous political influence & power. /1 🗃️

In the Renaissance people theorized, since the Aeneid is great, if you wrote poems made only of words & phrases from the Aeneid rearranged they should be great too, since a great source regurgitated should yield greatness. They produced NOTHING we still read. Thinking about that a lot lately.

Two years ago, I went to the ER because I was in excruciating pain. They asked the usual questions, including allergies. I said sulfa and that morphine makes me throw up. ER resident accused me of drug shopping. Turns out I had sepsis.
