Huge thanks to all the people who worked to defeat Bolsonaro. We need a climate partner in Brazil. Wealthy countries need to figure out how to support sustainable development in the Amazon or we’re going to face this crisis again and again.

The people who create and maintain this place are all volunteers.

There are no ads, no data being sold, no cryptocurrencies, no blockchains, no investors nor anything like that.

The only way this place gets the bills paid is because each server's owner pays from their own pockets, with help from user donations.

If you appreciate this place, donate something to your server. 🙏

Go to your server's website, click on "Learn More" and it will usually have a donation link there.

Great to see the #histodons community explode today. I’m an environmental historian of Britain (focused on 19th century London) and commodity flows in the British world (currently focused on Canada). I’m also working on a COVID 19 archives project in Saskatchewan called Remember Rebuild. And I’m interested in digital methods including GIS, text mining and web archives. #introductions

Thanks to the ~30 historians who've already joined the #histodons list!

Excited to share the new website for the Remember Rebuild project I’m leading with Nazeem Muhajarine and Erika Dyck. We’ve created a uniquely interdisciplinary project out of two grants funded by CIHR and SSHRC Patrick Chassé is managing the project. https://rememberrebuild.ca/remember-rebuild-a-unique-partnership-exploring-the-wider-impacts-of-covid-19-in-saskatchewan/
Tip of the hat to @rachelcleves for coming up with the #histodon #histodons tags. This should speed things to quite a bit! Would be nice to see some more #earlymodern and #British_History folks on here. #dixhuitième #eighteenth_century might work too?
