A conversation amongst #Kpop fans included this mention of the variety of fans and the importance of inclusivity and mutual respect in the fandom here on Mastodon - qualities sorely lacking in some other Kpop spaces.
Anyway, that part of the conversation reminded me of the history of inclusivity and mutual respect, which in turn set me thinking about religious "toleration" in early modern European history, which in turn reminded me of the Edict of Torda in the Transylvania of 1568:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edict_of_Torda
I was going to finish there with a pronouncement of "There's a lot more to Transylvania than Dracula!" which is true, but, on reflection, a bad note on which to end because it sounds smug and condescending.
Yes, early modern history is fascinating, anybody who can visit Transylvania should do so, and "toleration" deserves much attention from both a historical and philosophical point of view - but shouldn't I be more alive to today's interest in vampirism and to goth subcultures ? Shouldn't I remember that, in the words of @pixelcats, "all ways of stanning are valid" and that includes the stanning of Transylvania too?
From Kpop to C16 Torda and back again!

@Erzbet @girlbandgeek@mastodon.social @abuelaskpop @planetnine@mastodon.social I agree so much, .. but I would also hate to see the gatekeepery, condescending vibe that goes on in many fandom spaces leak over into this space. History is important. Culture and etiquette are also important. But, our ways of being evolve and grow, too. We have a range of eras of fans here, and all ways of stanning are valid.
IHC🆕 Many congratulations to the #VINCULUM team, which has received an Honourable Mention in the European Union Prize for Citizen Science 2025 for its application ‘Mindful journeys to a shared past’. Another international accolade for the project! 👏👏👏

Eva the sewing historianCool West African raffia cloth belonging to Dr Cecilia Candreus at Uppsala University. I went to a seminar at the History Department there for a presentation about West African raffia cloth and other objects in royal collections in the 17th century.
Some of my favourite subjects: textiles, African history, and the Early Modern period.

"The Empire and I"
As renewed imperial ambitions endanger our modern democratic systems, imperial research takes stronger interest in individuals and their actions inside imperial structures. While history has traditionally focused on the actions of “Great Men”, imperial studies now also focus on the entirety of imperial agents and subjects.
Had a great afternoon listening to professor dr Holger Weiss talk about new research about raw cotton import to Sweden and Finland in the 18th and early 19th century.
Lots of Levantine cotton.
Which is the kind that I have been mostly interested in, since I study cotton in the North in the medieval and early modern period, when the cotton used was mostly grown in the Mediterranean region
