If I'm going to be a #histodon (i.e., join the #histodons in the #Twittermigration ) I guess I should do an #introduction! I live in #NYC, teach at #BrooklynCollege and the Graduate Center at #CUNY, I have a book coming out soon on the Great Fire of New York in 1776, and I mainly study the #AmericanRevolution and other eighteenth-century (and occasionally nineteeth-century) stuff. That's the professional bit, anyway! I mostly used Twitter to crack mostly harmless jokes.
