Autism isn’t an epidemic. It's not a disease. It’s a natural variation in how people think…which, frankly, is a relief in a world where most people don't think at all.

Soon this is out on @routledgehistory.bsky.social .I argue that #witchcraft in DK was constructed through the eschatology and the ideals for good Christian people of the reformers, and the strive for the godly state of the early 17c. A godly ruler had a divine duty to eradicate witches #earlymodern

He didn’t put his hand on the Bible when swearing in. Probably because that would set it on fire.
