Wow, thanks lovely people – 1,000 follows this week! 👋About me: I'm finishing up a book on abolition in the Americas. It's my third, the other two in bio. US born, long-time Londoner, but I moved to Korea in February. No cute pets, sadly, but here's one of my plants and a maneki-neko ❤️

Hello Bleeps (Bluesky + peeps), quick #history question: looking for works on gender/sexuality in early #Spanish exploration/empire in #Asia – #Philippines but also anything to do with missionaries in #Japan ~16thc. A friend asked me but not really my area, so I'll turn to the experts here. Thanks!
