I don't seem to be getting any traction on my #Ukraine posts, either here on Bluesky or Twitter/X. If you read them, let me know. Back to the day job in 2025 and helping the everyday people I can, and who care. I'm finding that most of the social media I do is no longer worth my health, or my time.

In two weeks, I'm starting a guided reading seminar on #WWI. I have a list of articles I want my students to read, but it is focused on the Habsburg Empire and the Balkans. So I'm asking for suggestions. Any recent articles that you really liked and are also suitable for undergraduates?

Und nein, es ist übrigens natürlich nichts vorbei. Kurz aufatmen ja (brauchen wir alle) & dann geben wir nochmal Vollgas -- auf Demos, in diesem Internet, in Gesprächen mit friends & family usw., okay? Noch 23 Tage bis zur Wahl, um Demokratie & Menschenrechte gemeinsam zu verteidigen. Da geht was! 💪

As I am reviewing my non-academic publications for a scholarship (keep your fingers crossed!), I thought I would share the two English-language pieces from last year. First is my personal essay about 30 years of democratic Poland based on auto-microhistory, so to speak.
