Hello all: It is with a heavy heart that I remove my Starter Pack of "Trustworthy Mesopotamian Copper Ingot Merchants Within the City-State of Ur." I have been informed about some pretty unfortunate oversights on my part and ultimately platformed some creators who should not have been platformed.

A reminder to my academic colleagues that the incoming freshman class was born in 2006 which means that - they have no memory of the Roman Republic - for them, Julius Caesar has always been dead - they consider Virgil to be old people’s poetry - they don’t care about Sulla’s proscriptions

"Unaltered Augsburg Confession"- As a Reformation historian, I'm delighted to see that the Walz pick has revived interest in 16th-century Lutheran intraconfessional controversy. #earlymodern 🗃️

[Sideline reporter interviews me at halftime of lecture] Reporter: Professor, it seems like you lost the students in your explanation of the Kansas-Nebraska Act. What do you plan to do to get them back? Me [mops brow]: Well, we've just got to get through Dred Scott and I think we'll be fine.

Deeply sorry to learn of the death of Natalie Zemon Davis, the most brilliant early modern historian of our time, influence on every one of us, and my teacher and mentor for my whole life as a historian. She was extraordinary.
