I have not tweeted in a while! Here's where I'm at!

18thc. Pride is becoming a podcast, which you can find on Spotify. You will still have the option to read articles & transcripts on my website.

I don't know if I'm staying on Twitter. Find me on Instagram or Ko-Fi!

#OnThisDay in 1755 or 1757, Alexander Hamilton was born on the island of Nevis. Hamilton played critical roles throughout the American Revolution, serving as General Washington's aide-de-camp, writing 51 essays in The Federalist Papers, and serving as Secretary of the Treasury.

18th Century Pride is about to celebrate its 3rd anniversary, and that means the great deal I got on domain registration and web hosting is about to expire.

Please consider donating so we can spend another 3 years discovering queer history together.

Reading a book on the Illuminati and this writer's basically like "yeah they gave this really young guy #tenure and it went to his head so he decided to take over the world."

But at the end of the day, what has always mattered is our ability to adhere to gender norms. Gays/lesbians/bisexuals who don’t support trans people should study some goddamn history and learn how short sighted they are

George Washington is considered a founding father and Washington depended so heavily on William Lee...

William Lee is a founding father?

@DannaAgmon Not just you, LOL.

On iStock there is a series of stock images you can buy of like a super sexy guy in a Continental soldier uniform.

It looks like the cover of a paperback romance, and the temptation to buy it and put it in one of my articles is always so strong. LOL

When writing about the Universal Public Friend, do you use they/them, or just avoid pronouns all together and just keep saying The Friend?

@StarlitSkyGW I'm probably getting a couple removed soon myself. :(

Plea for suggestions, @twitterstorians: what are good early American history books to assign to intro undergrads for response papers? In midst of child's ongoing medical situation, have no brainspace to apply. 🙏

[18thCenturyPride @18thPride]

@GraceElizaHenry That's so important. I hate it when fiction encourages misconceptions about historical eras and people.

Good luck with your project!

[18thCenturyPride @18thPride]

@GraceElizaHenry Thank you for researching before writing historical fiction.

[18thCenturyPride @18thPride]

When you find a primary source quoted in a secondary source and you're like "This will be great for my argument!" and then you actually go to the primary source they were quoting and realize the secondary source writer completely misunderstood what they read.

I don't blame you all for not reading the book, its bigotry took years off my life.

Thanks to the one person who voted though, and yeah, I agree with you.

Ok, for those of you who have read #RoderickRandom: did you feel Strutwell's defense of same-gender love was meant to be genuine, or is Smollett making fun of him?
