@CarrieTipton I once got in so much trouble for one of those! But I do have a piece coming out on Santa Claus next week.

Historian, Brooklyn College, Graduate Center, CUNY. Soon: "The Great New York Fire of 1776: A Lost Story of the #AmRev" 🔥 I follow back all historians, teachers, & librarians! Also like discussing fantasy novels & tabletop games. #histodon #histodons #historians benjamincarp.com
Ho, ho, ho! I've got a holiday-themed web piece dropping in a week--watch this space! (Well, unless they let me into the new historians instance with the herd--in that case, watch THAT space.)
@robrakove @rachelshelden I once tried to convert all my spelling in deference to the UK audience but I think this was a fool’s errand. I confess I’m not sure what you mean by “title setting”
@rachelshelden It takes time so part of me wants to bow to convention and just drop it but these old habits of proper formatting die hard. I wonder who the youngest living scholar to still do this is (or will be)
Am I the only person who tortures themselves looking for a mailing address to put at the top of an (electronically submitted) academic letter of reference? Often there is literally no mailing address to be found. Is this just a hopelessly antiquated convention now?
My older cousin reminded me of the time I visited her and her boyfriend (now husband) at college. While everyone was chatting, I listened (mostly quietly) while drawing "This Side Up" on the back of his course packet, with the exact same design as he had done on the front.
Huh! My first book, Rebels Rising: Cities and the American Revolution (2007), was cited in a brief as part of the US Supreme Court case Moore v. Harper. It's not using a major part of my argument nor are they using my book for a major part of theirs, but it's still kinda cool
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.
@mlmillerphd This is like a Venn Diagram challenge where the middle section reads: "pressure's gonna drop on you."
