@craigbrucesmith @farsouthhistory If it's a South Pole edition, shouldn't all four compass points read "N" ?

Everyone who thinks that the story of #scipol begins somewhere between WWII and Sputnik (an origin story that I hear a lot) should get a look at this.

"When a question about a neighbor’s Christmas decoration leads to tangents about Thomas Nast and the Thirty Years War, I can hear eyes roll."

The introduction to our roundtable on parenting as historians and historian-ing as parents. https://t.co/s5i21Y4QJq

It's an even more challenging time to explain current events and history to children than when I first proposed this roundtable.

Eager to see what so many historian/parents have to say.

So glad that @contingent_mag is organizing this roundtable! I can't think of a better venue to explore the experiences of historians as actual people with lives that include family/parenting/caregiving! I'm excited to see the perspectives that we get.

Ron was a friend and mentor from the moment I first met him as a graduate student. The depth of his knowledge is only surpassed by the generosity which which he shared it. A tremendous loss. #histsci

It is with great sadness that I share this bad news: Ron Numbers has passed away. He was a prominent historian, but above all a generous and kind person. I saw Ron for the last time in Chicago in 2018, but we have been exchanging emails until very recently.

So pleased for @Tiffany_L_Green's talent and hard work getting some of the recognition she deserves.

[Tiffany Green is now tiffanylgreen.bsky.social @Tiffany_L_Green]

Been sitting on this for several months but seemed like an appropriate Juneteenth celebration since it’s now official official. There are too many people to thank—mentors, friends, family. My husband in particular has gone hard for me since he met me, moving halfway across the 1/
