The first two posts list a sample of hashtags for which Bluesky feeds currently exist. The following forty-two(!) posts list starter packs for scholars of various aspects of early modern history.

Learning another language is important not just as a research tool or job skill but for the ways that it opens up the mind and forces students to think in different ways. Learning a language uses different parts of the mind than other subjects.

Follow art historians and journalists. They’re interesting people.

Seems like we're getting another influx of new users, so for all those interested in art and art history I'd highly recommend the Bluesky for Art History starter pack created by @joshuajfriedman.com go.bsky.app/NKHmh87

Meanwhile the editor of my trade book is the founder of the company; reads every manuscript front to cover himself; works with local copy-editors; offers several copies to authors and normal author fees for every book sold; and mentions in the colofon that the book can´t be used for datamining.

Matthew Shepard was murdered right when I was trying to come out of the closet. So like, this hit me pretty hard. Maybe that’s why I understand how important it is for trans kids to know they deserve to live.

27 years ago, hateful violence took the life of Matthew Shepard. His story reminds us of what happens when intolerance goes unchecked.

Today, as extremists target our LGBTQ+ neighbors for who they are, we must recommit to building a nation rooted in love, safety, and equality for all.
