very murderhobos facing. Many of our episodes look at historical ideas of sexuality, and the first idea to dissolve under this scrutiny is the modern straight/gay binary. Sexuality and love are and have always been complex.

[King of Megcenae @agameganon]

there is an agenda to reading alexander as exclusively straight and there is an agenda to reading alexander as definitely queer but these are not equal. one is rooted in bigotry, which does real harm to marginalised people today, the other is just maybe a touch wishful thinking!

[sententiae antiquae @sentantiq]

Ok, one more thread on Achilles and Odysseus and how we should read Homer then I promise I will chill

The reason I am profoundly unchill about this is the confusion of rich epic narrative for simple paradigmatic propaganda

[AskHistorians @askhistorians]

Did cowboys treat horses more like pets or cars? It’s a surprisingly tricky question, but /u/PartyMoses saddles up for a view of the Wild West from the perspective of the horses. #Twitterstorians

Wizards of the Coast wouldn't have sent gun thugs to a youtubers house if Sid Hatfield were still around.

an old r/AskHistorians answer of mine

[AskHistorians @askhistorians]

What motivated 19th Century soldiers to endure such terrible hardships?
(/u/PartyMoses endures everything this #ThrowbackThursday to bring you this post on the hardships soldiers faced.) #MilitaryHist #Twitterstorians

no murder, but very hobo. Also, several talking vaginas

[Vagina Museum @vagina_museum]

If a medieval French vagina could speak, what would it say?

We actually have the answer to this. Allow us to tell you the tale of The Knight Who Could Make Cunts Speak.

Definitely stuck to the topic of crossbows, not a single tangent!

[murderhobospodcast @murderhobospod]

@JDDelle_Luche @DrCrossbows that's fascinating!

[murderhobospodcast @murderhobospod]

@clairekope @DrFrankRoberts is it something about France, or the writing vocation that makes it this way?

[MI State Capitol @MIStateCapitol]

Happy statehood day! Congress admitted Michigan to the Union on January 26, 1837, but according to many early citizens, we had already been a state for two years! We set up our government in 1835, but our statehood was delayed by the Toledo War, a fierce border dispute with Ohio.

@pun_based_name The pushing match is only a myth if you believe there was only ever *one* way that phalangites fought.its clear that othismos happened sometimes, but not that it was a specific result of training and doctrine.

[murderhobospodcast @murderhobospod]

a good thread on the patchy evidence for anything like a "shield wall" in viking combat, and why we should be very careful to assume standardization in historical interpretation of pre-modern military practices.
