Historiography is the Pablo Escobar of historical writing, enchanting, yet notorious and intimidating!

@WildPasts_ Like the 'curse' of Sisyphus. But as Albert Camus puts it, 'the struggle itself towards the heights is enough to fill a man's heart. One must imagine Sisyphus happy.'

@begottensun sad.

[Elijah Doro @KeniardDoro]

@begottensun The equivalence of a rat saying they don't believe bakeries exist while chewing a piece of bread in the dark.

[Elijah Doro @KeniardDoro]

@WildPasts_ Also, a lovely opportunity for (technically), a tenured postdoc!

[Elijah Doro @KeniardDoro]

The sweltering Bavarian summer has scorched me and as a historian I ponder the Weltpolitik and Bernhard von Bülow with incredulity. What place in the sun did the Germans really want?

@umaruZW @tinashetakuva 😂😂

[Elijah Doro @KeniardDoro]

Me each time I read a text that has endnotes instead of footnotes...

[Elijah Doro @KeniardDoro]

@tinashetakuva Its like reading two different texts at the same time.

[Elijah Doro @KeniardDoro]

@AMAZlNGNATURE I wouldn't do that for all the vodka in Russia.

@dlozilethu larry was one hell of a character.

[Elijah Doro @KeniardDoro]

Rejection Letter Plot: 1. Profuse thankfulness for effort in applying 2. Apologetic acknlogment that ur application wasn’t the only 1 they received. 3. Bashful candidness that they compared u to others and found u wanting. 4. Unsolicited comfort coz you are sad. 5 Apply again.

[Elijah Doro @KeniardDoro]

@dlozilethu is it the manuscript for the lotus eaters, the idyllic malrooners ?

[Elijah Doro @KeniardDoro]

@WildPasts_ That would be quite handy on the words count metrics!

[Elijah Doro @KeniardDoro]

@Hondo1973 You breed your own tuna in an aquarium at home? Cool stuff!

[Elijah Doro @KeniardDoro]

@umaruZW Keep going buddy!
