Excited to share my open access article on Ottoman exile in @csshjournal.bsky.social. www.cambridge.org/core/journal...

Excited to be in this queue of articles coming out in CSSH!

a “ceasefire” that lasted 17 hours and killed 254 people in lebanon is not a ceasefire and referring to it as one is inaccurate

Peak DC think tanker tweet on Trump’s threats to commit war crimes and mass atrocities in Iran: “He is speaking to them in their language.” Good to see 19th century imperialism alive and well in DC.

Happy that my review essay on Russian-Ottoman history in the Annales has been published in English - reviewing amazing books by @will-smiley.bsky.social @vhtroyansky.bsky.social and @lalehjoon.bsky.social www.cambridge.org/core/journal...

This looks so interesting! Cannot wait to read!

Bit of an impulse buy from @dukepress.bsky.social but how can anyone resist a book that is, in part, about “Ottoman debt and finance” — certainly not this guy! www.dukeupress.edu/on-the-semic...

I can’t believe I could just walk to the Süleymaniye on bayram and then have this little creature come sit in my arms in one of the most beautiful places in the world.

Nice böyle tatlı anlarla dolu bayramlara

Can we please find a way to write articles so we don’t have to cite everything ever written on the topic, and struggle to find ways to nicely say why they’re wrong.

Canceled all my plans to work on an article and I have one (excellent) introductory paragraph to show for it. Am still doing life wrong.

Levels of ridiculousness I can’t deal with. Now we need people to assign them so AI can make up “book reports” for students who don’t read and professors who don’t grade.

This was just posted by @tbretc.bsky.social on another platform. The Chicago Sun-Times obviously gets ChatGPT to write a ‘summer reads’ feature almost entirely made up of real authors but completely fake books. What are we coming to?

Love to see my book reviewed in the company of great books by Will Smiley and Vladimir Hamed-Troyansky. Thank you, @mcerovic.bsky.social for your engagement and framing in terms of transimperial history.

This man then got on the subway and made jokes involving knight puns for two stops. As a pun-averse person in academia, I don’t think I deserved any of this.

Turned a thousand years old today and walked 12k steps after throwing myself a dinner and can definitely say I feel my age.

Just googled “how do you know if your headache is an aneurysm.” Current stress level.

Have been screaming inside all day thinking about the kind of person who goes to talks and steals ideas. Then they write - and because no one writes critical book reviews - they get away with it again and again.

I see a lot of you are worried about your stocks so I’m glad I invested all my money in the one asset that will NEVER decline in value: tulips

100% this. I can’t imagine studying languages, doing research, or writing my book without FLAS, Fulbright-Hays, NEH, and the defunct SSRC humanities fellowships. It kills me that grad students and junior scholars don’t have these opportunities.

Dr. Chance Bonar@chancebonar.bsky.social · last yr.

Pour one out tonight not only for the thousands of fantastic scholars whose NEH grants were wrongly terminated, but also for all of the junior scholars who have never—and now may never in their lifetimes—receive federal support for their research

Wondering if I should order a case of Campari — or let tariffs make me into a better Muslim.

Destroy this myth. Please share if you have visited and researched in a library this past year! RT And give a shout out to your favorite library you have ever visited.

Ayat in Ditmas Park is so good! Take your friends and go have amazing Palestinian food.

This is the most confusing thing I have seen on this site so far. I don’t know anymore what is parody but I’m pretty sure calling this shawarma should be illegal. Am I not being nice? Do I need to stop?

soul nate@mnateshyamalan.bsky.social · 2y ago

can a man get a “hell yeah” for his thanksgiving lamb shawarma or has the woke left made that illegal

I love when ILL doesn’t allow renewals for a book that not a single other person is likely to use for a decade.

Why are there so many weird accounts on here with no names, descriptions, real photos?

Can’t wait to read. Congrats @zozanpehlivan.bsky.social!

Have been really down lately but hate-reading something is cheering me up. Sometimes I think you need a nemesis to keep you going.

Help me spread the word by reposting, and please let me know if you want to be added / have suggestions.

Sometimes I read about all the archives someone has worked in and the 27 languages involved and I think SPY!
