Hi #Fediverse! The instance I'm on is closing down (see the historians.social announcement here: https://www.cliodigital.media/updates/update-on-historianssocial ). So, I'm looking for a new instance. Where would you recommend?

(I post coins, numismatic news, history and information related to the coins I post etc).

(For those not familiar, as & when I find a new home, you won't need to do anything, everyone who follows me will still follow me when I move).

Recommendations welcome! #Numismatics #histodons @numismatics @histodons

Do I know anyone who knows someone who has worked professionally with academic hiring in Denmark? Perhaps a recent professor emeritus in the #Humanities. I need help to improve an important job application. I am happy to pay a fee.

#OnThisDay, 4 Oct 1936, women join the Battle of Cable Street, in London's East End, protesting against a fascist march through the area. Of the 79 protestors arrested, eight are women, including Blanche Edwards (pictured).

Hat tip to the East End Women's Museum for this one! https://eastendwomensmuseum.org/blog/women-at-the-battle-of-cable-street

American democracy keeps facing the same test. Reconstruction. Watergate. January 6th. Each was an inkblot: some saw freedom and law, others tyranny and betrayal.

The danger isn’t just the crisis—it’s perception unmoored from fact. A lie, repeated often enough, creates its own inkblot. Not to reveal the viewer. But to control them.

Hey U.S.-based #histodons: My old position at Western Colorado University has been posted <https://www.higheredjobs.com/faculty/details.cfm?JobCode=179251801>. This is an absolutely fantastic place to work if you love teaching—great colleagues, amazing students, breathtakingly beautiful environment with public transit connection to skiing. I really adored the job and the community, and I miss it every day. 1/3

Hi there, new server and new communities, my name is Daniel Bellingradt and I still am a historian. Nice meeting you all.

I chose the scanning hand as a reminder of how human labor will be remembered when all books are digitized and we all work with digital copies only.

62 years ago today—September 15, 1963—four girls in Birmingham were murdered by a bomb in their church. Two boys were murdered in the chaos that followed.

Six children, gone before sundown.

This is what resistance to equality looks like.

Fantastique série d'entretiens d' @span EdwyPlenel sur l'archéologie, et en particulier au rapport des politiques français à l'archéologie.
Les interviews d'Alain Schnapp et de Jean-Paul Demoule étaient super, mais les paroles de Dominique Garcia sur le rapport de l'archéologie avec les territoires et ses habitants que je trouve particulièrement enthousiasmant et intéressant...
Merci @span mediapart !

Are there any #histodons still on here?

I’ve not been very active recently since I was spending a lot of time on Bluesky—where most of my old Twitter community ended up. I’m not sure how much longer that’s going to be a viable place, though.

As luck would have it, though, just as I’m committing to spending more time here I just learned that my server will be shutting down next month and I need to find a new Fediverse home.

Any suggestions?
