This week this... became this...

Seeing Dr. Windhövel written down has yet to stop looking weird (well, Dr. des. till publication, but still), but I'm euphoric nonetheless. Thank you to my friends sfb294 and beyond for your support + help.

I just read an article from somebody who writes EXACTLY like I talk, when I try to explain something. It felt weirdly homey.

Today, we said farewell to Professor Trevor Burnard, a much-loved colleague and friend. He will be greatly missed. Messages of condolences from around the world have meant so much to everyone who cared for him. The @UniOfHull flag was lowered as a final mark of respect.

We at the @SFB294 "Structural Change of Property" would like to invite PhD candidates/students and/or early career scholars to an in-person workshop on "Racial Capitalism during the Civil War and Reconstruction Era" in Erfurt on June 13th. For details please see the #CFP below.

@helenahhartmann @MoodPatterns but hey... maybe you'll get a lot of questions like "I have this strange ache in my elbow...?"

[Dr. des. Julian Windhövel @julwindhoevel]

@MoodPatterns @helenahhartmann my grandma took the Dr. from her door, because handymen etc. started to charge more^^

@NigelEmsen Shute’s Lane, near Symondsbury, West Dorset. We thoroughly recommend a visit!

I was toady years old, when I learned that you can link in-text references to numbered images in MSWord. So when you switch pics in your paper/chapter around the in-text references update with the correct numbers just like image numbers/descriptions,

@tlecaque These people can't seem to get the difference between a (always 100% honest and accurate) chronologer and a historian. These are two different jobs.

Liebe Historiker*innen-Bubble, heute mal eine sehr spezielle technikhistorische Frage: kennt jemand jemanden, der/die sich mit der Kulturgeschichte der Toilette auskennt? Am DHMD gab es scheinbar niemanden. Es geht um eine Keynote.

[Carla Hayden @LibnOfCongress]

For the first we rolled out this 54 foot long petition from 1865. It was signed by 3,740 African Americans from South Carolina asking Congress “equal rights before the law" months after the Civil War.
We need the public's help transcribing this historic treasure.

#twitterstorians, please help. I think that @dmcguire13 and a colleague whose name I'm not recalling worked up guidelines for journalists working with historians and their work - issues of credit, attribution, etc. Could you point me to it? Thx.

[Dr. des. Julian Windhövel @julwindhoevel]

@charlottemf406 @Verdolagaz I came here to say exactly that. :)

[Dr. des. Julian Windhövel @julwindhoevel]

@DrKillgrove If you want to make it super clear AND focus on local governance you could use "Department Director". This way you can differentiate between people who manage an actual portfolio (like housing, parks and rec, etc) and people who sit on the city council.

[Dr. des. Julian Windhövel @julwindhoevel]

@DrKillgrove so if you are talking about the portfolio holder responsible for housing in a local town or county, that's a Councillor. If they are responsible for housing for the whole country, that's a minister (secretary).

[Dr. des. Julian Windhövel @julwindhoevel]

@DrKillgrove What I have seen most often as a definition is "Cabinet (Executive) Member" When you look at places like lawinsider they usually mean a Councillor, but frankly a portfolio holder can be anywhere in the government as long as they are in charge of a specific area of expertise.
