"There are millions of people who experienced extraordinary moments in American history, and who won’t be around much longer to tell us about them. Some of these moments are ones we should be proud of, and some should fill us with shame. But we have so much to learn from their stories, and we have a narrowing window of time in which to collect them." #history #historymastodon #BlackHistory #americanhistory

Good afternoon, all! In light of the confusing new user restrictions on that other site, it seems appropriate to remind everyone that not only are we happy to meet you here at the Mastodon feed for Women Also Know History, but we're also glad to have you over on our Instagram page of the same name. Welcome one and all! #WomenAlsoKnowHistory #HistoryMastodon #Histodons

Reading back through my BA dissertation recently and realising that the last chapter is now completely out of date due to new information.

I feel like I wrote a diss about disinformation and then got swept up in disinformation. Hm. Maybe at some point I could re-write it.

I did find some interesting government papers for it though, having a snoop in Russian archives and then finding the source links are broken two months later is suspect, for sure. #historymastodon

So.

Poland has been hit by two missiles from Russia. I’ve seen reports that it’s a ‘mistake’…but I am very reluctant to believe this.

For many years, the relationship between Poland and Russia has been fraught and you’re going to tell me that they just accidentally fired missiles in their direction?

Highly unlikely. #HistoryMastodon

Morning all.

Question. I never mentioned much stuff about my academic background on the bird site as I never wanted to scare people off. Is Mastodon okay to do that here? :/
