The second episode has just dropped! I'm on this one discussing the many myths surrounding the (definitely not #skymedieval!) witch-hunts. Give us a try! New 🪄🧹🧙 episodes drop every other Saturday. 😊 #earlymodern #hextag 🗃️

🚨 New Podcast Alert! 🚨 Robin Briggs, Alison Rowlands and I join broadcaster Jon Briggs (yes, a relation!) for a series of wide ranging discussions of #earlymodern witchcraft. Between the three of us, we've spent some ninety years researching the history of witches and demons. #SkyStorians #hextag

Here's some good news from Texas, where the state court of appeals found that the First Amendment protected a Texas history professor in writing about a conflict within the state's premier historical association, and that the AHA was protected in publishing it. 🗃️

Finding amazing public scholarship for my threads all week is one of my very favorite things. But equally high on the list is seeing the resulting thread get shared & engaged far & wide, & for that one I need y'all. Please share widely if you see this & are able, & thanks! 🗃️ @kevinmkruse.bsky.social

61 years ago, on the 1st of August 1965, Frank Herbert's Dune was first published as a novel after a serialized run. The publisher, Chilton Books, was mainly known for printing auto repair manuals. Initial sales were poor. Critics reviewed it negatively due to the story being atypical. #otd 🗃️

Today marks a special day in Five Finger Death Punch history. 🔥 On this day in 2007, the band released their debut album, ‘The Way of the Fist’ —the record that started it all. ⚡ And 19 years later, they’ve opened a brand new chapter with the release of ‘Legacy.’ #5FDP #FFDP

This Day in the History of Kindness, July 31 On July 31, 1937, Mahatma Gandhi published his revolutionary vision for Nai Talim in Harijan, arguing that true education must nurture the "body, mind, and spirit" rather than rely solely on rote literacy.

Sitting on the stage yesterday at graduation reminded me why, despite everything else, I love my job. Watching students walk across the stage to collect their degrees – knowing the difficulties many have overcome to get there, and the hard work each of them has put in – was beyond affirming 🗃️
