Friends, I'm done with this platform. Hope to see you on bsky. I've made a lot of great connections on here, and esp for Irish gender & sex history, this has always been an important academic space, but just can't stomatch it any more bsky.app/profile/aearls…

My teaching is being observed for tenure today. in my nationalism class, we’re discussing European colonial hierarchies, antisemitic violence, & Jewish Zionism a la Herzl’s 1896 suggestion to throw a “melinite bomb” to “clear a country of wild beasts” for the Jewish state to form
