Twitter, are you okay?

[Klitschko @Klitschko]

Don't use small failures as an excuse to abandon big dreams.

Take them as ideas to improve your plan.

[Klitschko @Klitschko]

When everything is going well in your life, you tell yourself: it won't last.
Why don't you say the same thing to yourself when everything goes wrong?

@ellisnilsson @planckskonstant @ThomasSmaberg @ArkeologiNorden Oj, såg först nu att det måste vara på engelska. Glöm vad jag sa. 😆

@ellisnilsson @planckskonstant @ThomasSmaberg @ArkeologiNorden Harald Gustafssons bok från år 2000 (kommer inte ihåg titeln) är ypperlig. Väldigt bra diskussion om varför Kalmarunionens upplösning skedde först under 1540-talet.

With the shutdown of BuzzFeed News, I no longer have a venue for my book reviews. I would love to find another website to write for if you know of anything! I reviewed SFF & horror for BF for 3 years & edited their Books newsletter, including new releases, starting this year.

So this tweet got a lot of traction. One thing I could not help notice from the responses: many well-meaning tenured folks still have their heads in the sand, despite strong SJ commitments, who nonetheless find themselves on the exploitative end of a profession in crisis. 1/

Our field still treats adjuncts like 1950s divorcees: permanently damaged goods because they didn't get hired as ABDs. Which is a very dumb way to treat experienced teachers and researchers. 4/

[Dr. Michael J. Taylor @DrMichaelJTayl1]

Only ~10% of History/Classics PhDs get tenure track academic jobs. What does it take to get a job in this hyper competitive market? The optimal profile seems to be:

0 publications

Unfinished dissertation

Have not yet graduated from a top-five graduate program (HYPS/Cal) 1/

This week on The Boomerang, I talk about Instagram creators who bring me joy. Hopefully, they will bring you some joy too. 🥰

This is the apse of #LundCathedral, designed and built by the architect #Donatus in the early 12th c and considered to be one of Europe's foremost examples of Romanesque apses.

In light of what is happening in the ME right now, this is your periodic reminder that you can’t stand against antisemitism and support the BDS movement at the same time.

Don’t know why that is? Do your homework. While you do that, I’m going to go and unfollow some people.

[Klitschko @Klitschko]

The will to win leads us to action - not merely reaction.

I'm back on @mediaevalpod, hosted by medievalist and conversationalist @sarahifftdecker. This time, we talk about the movie MEDIEVAL (2022), and we have a lot to say. Enjoy! https://t.co/LM5YnAQsnF

[Dr. Sarah Ifft Decker @sarahifftdecker]

This ... this movie. Was ... well. I'm ... still very angry.

If you say “Judaism believes this” and point to a text from the Old Testament (and call it the Old Testament), you’re really just demonstrating that you don’t know shit about Judaism.
