An interesting thing about hashtags on Bluesky is if you click on a hashtag (on desktop; long press for mobile) on a user’s post or profile, you can filter to see all the user’s posts using that hashtag.
So if you share work on here, it’s a convenient way to catalogue all your work in one place

Long before Musk’s takeover, historians outsourced our public sphere to a private corporation.
Now is a great opportunity learn from that experiment — or rather: that mistake.
Would there be interest in an online workshop on public history after X?

Another project I'm proud of is a long form video I made examining the development of the Gilgamesh/Bilgamesh myths, along with the tale's association with the Mesopotamian flood myth. I remember being terrified it was going to bomb whilst making it so I'm glad so many people watched it.

It’s the oldest example of an exotic fruit being found in Ireland and it could point to a food trade between the Roman Empire and Ireland.
