So historians on here are calling themselves โ€˜histodons.โ€™ Lit scholars, are we litodons, textodons, litaphants, booktodons, or something else altogether? The historians always get the best names (e.g. twitterstorians). ๐Ÿ˜ค

@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 โ€Ah yes, there they are, the litaphant in the room.โ€œ
@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 donโ€™t troll unless itโ€™s Moomin.
