So historians on here are calling themselves ‘histodons.’ Lit scholars, are we litodons, textodons, litaphants, booktodons, or something else altogether? The historians always get the best names (e.g. twitterstorians). 😤

@smaran Probably not the most practical option, but I love the sound of litaphants.

@smaran @torstenkathke As an early modern scholar, I love that we could then say that Shakespeare is the litaphant in the room. Was always sort of envious about twitterstorians, we should use this as our chance to rebrand!

@susannegruss @smaran We need to meet soon so I can greet you with ”Ah yes, there they are, the litaphant in the room.“

@torstenkathke @smaran You just want to troll us poor #litodons from your seemingly superior #histodons hashtag position!

@susannegruss @smaran You know historians, we flocked to that one not without a fundamental discussion about whether this was a good hashtag, what makes a good hashtag, and why hashtags are, and have historically been. The controversy rages on. And I don’t troll unless it’s Moomin.
