Some mirrors are easier to piece than others - but they’re never put back together perfectly.

It’s important to take in consideration the author’s biases, always jump at the chance to study new evidence/different perspectives, and be wary of those that glorify the past. (2/2)

[Anna Marie @an_na731]

The study of history is like looking through a broken mirror into the past. You can never know what exactly happened. The job of a historian is to pick up the broken shards of evidence and try to piece it back together as best as possible. (1/2)

Please, please, please, historian here, this repeated error is breaking my brain & it remains a hill I will die on: The 1918 influenza pandemic began in 1918.
Influenza certainly played a role in winding down World War I, but didn't "end" it. Also, WWI = 1914-1918.

Trump's idiotic comments on military bases named for Confederate generals most likely reflects the fact that he has no idea Bragg, Hood and Polk were Confederate generals. Remember that he made up his own Civil War battle to "commemorate" on his golf course.

Yep. Definitely wins #BestHat

@YorkshireMuseum The design of crowns varies around the world. This replica of King Rama IV of Siam’s crown was presented to Queen Victoria in 1857 by Siamese ambassadors, two years after the United Kingdom signed a Treaty of Friendship & Commerce with Siam (now Thailand). #CuratorBattle #BestHat

These three ladies from the Davis Mansion are serving us lewks for the #SassiestObject challenge! We’re ready for whatever the @YorkshireMuseum throws out next week for the #CURATORBATTLE. Keep ‘em coming!

Historian clocking in: NO there was not a “1917” influenza pandemic. Three waves: early 1918 through spring 1919.
Trump "it was bad, it was rough, but it wasn’t quite what we’re going through now.” Not. At. All. It was far worse. Circa 675k Americans died | appx 50m worldwide.

Known U.S. coronavirus cases still tracking Italy uncomfortably closely. If that trajectory continues, we might be at 30,000 cases in a week or so. https://t.co/yEPNzjICd9
