Hi everyone, hate to share this but I'm afraid that I never quite figured Mastodon out. Most of my social media activity is at Bluesky; please look me up there if you wish. My handle there is @johnraimo.bsky.social. Who knows but maybe I'll return here one day. It's a bit hard and disheartening, that is, navigating social media these days! So thanks for your interest in my work, &c., and hope to interact with you all soon there or here or even in real life. Sincerely then, ~ John

When colleagues of mine talk about postwar European history, my mind tends to go in odd cultural directions .... #Histodons https://youtu.be/S4UBfiXzjOo

My very dear friend and colleague Douglas Pompeu recently published this book (here open access as well), which I'd recommend to all book historians and historians of Latin America able to read Portuguese: Douglas Pompeu, Uma ilha brasileira no campo literário alemão.

Still experimenting a bit here with posts and sharing visual materials ....

Hello, #histodons 👋
I just joined #Mastodon so I am briefly introducing myself.
I am currently a #PostdoctoralFellow at #UniversityCollegeDublin where I am researching a project entitled “Making Fun of the Fascists: Humor Against the Leader Cult in Italy, France, and Germany, 1922–1945.” This is a study of how #humor was used as an instrument of political resistance against dictators in Fascist Italy, Nazi Germany, and Vichy France.

I used to be fairly active on Twitter in English, French, German, and Italian. (Czech is still an ongoing journey! Also working on Dutch.) I’d be particularly thankful for any tips from #histodon colleagues and others here on loading posts in advance à la Tweetdeck or other automated schedulers for Mastodon.

A #histodon #introduction! Finishing up a PhD at NYU on postwar publishing networks, practices, and ideas of Europe up to the 1970s. So tons of Czech, French, German, and Italian archives while mapping out cultural histories balanced against larger Cold War geopolitics. More broadly, my research interests include the history of the book & of reading, historiography, history of scholarship, philology, and photography alongside harder-edged political & social histories.

Hey #Histodons and other folks, does anyone know of a resource for Mastodon like Tweetdeck? I'd prefer to load up posts for later publication at once rather than manually put them up at different intervals. Any and all advice very appreciated! Many thanks, ~ John
