Anyway the point is we change what is socially good all the time, but what stays static is that women are not socially good. Anyway, buy my book please, because I am tired of these takes. Thank you. uk.bookshop.org/books/the-on…

Not Slavic myself, but one of the things I wish to see happen during my lifetime is for Western people to immediately think of Ukraine, Poland, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Slovenia, Bulgaria, Croatia, Macedonia and even Belarus or Serbia when they hear the word “Slavic”.
Yes. Many Slavic studies institutes at Western universities are very Russophilic, and portray Russia as the centre of all Slavic culture. I was lucky I studied in Vienna, the Slavic studies institute there was heavily influenced and shaped by Czech and Polish academics.

We are so hyped to be in Scotland for a few episodes. Come hang with us!!

@lukeisamazing and @GoingMedieval go north of Hadrian’s Wall, unlike scaredy-cat Romans, to check out Medieval Scotland. we trace its history from Roman encounters to the Early Middle Ages to find out what a Pict is, Viking incursions, and the rise of Alba spreaker.com/episode/medieva…

This is a fun video about the Black Death. They ask people in the street what they know about it and then let historians @GoingMedieval & @HelenhCarr fact check it. Very educational, lots of debunking going on! youtu.be/zBVpeZe94Fs?si=CwjC…
