Can’t stop historian brain from noticing that the fact most of us have kept their Twitter handle here is kind of like chimneys on houses now heated electrically:

Something that used to be an infrastructural necessity because there was only one domain is now a vestigial design feature.

Hello #histodon and other folks!
A brief self-intro: I'm a historian of 19th-century American political economy, in the world.

My first book, Trading Freedom, is about the politics of the first century of #USA trade w/ #China. Now I'm investigating the rise of the #businessman as a potent political & cultural identity. I also co-lead a collaborative project looking at the history of slavery and dispossession in Delaware.

I mainly post blind quotes from sources, though. #commonplacing

Dersom noen skulle ønske å dykke ned dypere i fødiverset og savner en versjon av #Goodreads, sjekk ut #BookWyrm! :) Ser ut som om bookwyrm.social er veldig treg etter stor vekst i det siste. Vet ikke om noen norske instanser, men jeg er her: https://books.theunseen.city/user/whacking-sprinkler

Kan godt hende dere må legge til en del, spesielt norske, bøker manuelt, men det er jo gjort fort dersom mange bidrar! :) #NorskTut
