...the @support account, explaining that I did great educational posts, got erroneously suspended, and that Twitter support should unsuspend my account, both so people know what happened and in case that helps with my appeal.

I was suspended on Twitter for, I think, replying to so many people about Apocalypto and linking my breakdown post about it 😅

Would appreciate it if those who feel comfortable doing so, still use Twitter, and have followers there who also follow me, tweeting out about this while also tagging...

46. The Internet Archive is one of the most valuable resources for contemporary historians and it is worth donating to.

33. When I started uni at history, I was told that all first years should read Eric Hobsbawm’s The Age of Extremes. This advice is still prescient.

If someone you know is starting a history degree, buy them the Hobsbawm ‘Age of’ series as a gift!

19. The period from circa 1995 to 2005 can be difficult to research due to stuff not being seen as ‘historical’ yet and given the same level of credence as material from previous decades, alongside the ethereal nature of the early internet.

So, I recently visited the Swedish Army (History) Museum, and there was a video presentation about the Great Northern War, which was mostly AI generated. This is my first time seeing AI generated slop in a state run museum.

real historians know that the only correct historical periodization is the very long eighteenth century, which goes from the end of the Thirty Years' War in 1648 to the closure of the gold window in 1971
I know about the guy who’s mad about what he calls dark ages trutherism and its popularity on bluesky. I blocked him because no one who comes at it with that framing is worth talking to.
Honestly, I blocked him and moved on. What’s the point?

Years later Aaak'wtaatseen sees an old, weathered salmon he recognizes as his soul, spears him and dies at the same time, and has his body returned to the water.

A 19th-century Tlingit carving of Aaak'wtaatseen or Salmon Boy, who disrespects salmon and is taken in by the Salmon People one day while out swimming. He learns their ways over the winter in the ocean and is eventually caught and returned to his village to teach about respecting the Salmon People.

Celebro cada pieza artística rescatada de bestias. Son, en parte, los manuscritos de Timbuctú, cuna del saber árabe en África occidental, tras el avance yihadista en 2012.

Vuelven a casa, no así, por caso, las dos estatuas de Buda de Bāmiyān, destruidas por los talibán en Afganistán (2001).

Esta semana se viralizó que "África" busca superar la proyección Mercator para que los mapas muestren la verdadera dimensión continental (Peters), o sea, 14 veces mayor que Groenlandia.

Pero es la Unión Africana quien propone, principal cuerpo continental, porque África no son "tribus" ni un país.

A Sámi drum, seized in 1723 and repatriated to the Sámi people in Norway from Germany in 2023. Drums such as this were confiscated in the 17th and 18th-centuries by authorities in the belief that they were used in witchcraft, and this one, the Folldal drum, is among the best preserved.

A part of a London antiquary’s handwritten copy of a Mi’kmaw woman in Halifax’s hieroglyphic writing from the 1760s. She is described as a “priestess” and she refused to translate the suckerfish writing for the colonial officials who sent it to London.
