Back to Warsaw for the break and my taxi driver was a 🇺🇦 guy from Lviv. War surprised him while he was here & he didn't come back home as he'd be drafted into the army. His neighbour, former truck driver, was drafted, and now is dead. Immediate reminder the war is just next door.

+if you want to read something written by me, I'd suggest an article published in Journal of Genocide Studies "Civil Crisis Management in Poland: The First Weeks of the Relief in Russian War on Ukraine" (https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/14623528.2022.2079196)

Also: Happy #Hannukah for those who celebrate! 🕎🕎🕎Chag urim sameach! We all need some extra light these days.

So, who's arrived here over the past 2 weeks among #histodons? I don't have the habit to check this place regularly yet. Tag yr people!

@PricklyPam too shy!

Peak 2022: in the Bibliothèque Nationale de France, I spotted a guy wearing a blanket-y onesie.

Honestly: goals, too.

Yesterday was informed that I got a 6 months extension of my PhD scholarship due to COVID. I cannot express how relieved I am. Thanks, Polish grant authority!

The #Zeitenwende essay by Olaf Scholz in the Foreign Affairs
will surely be torn apart in the future PhDs. Instead of an epochal text of its time, it reads more like a PR piece written by someone in the PM's office. And, dear reader, it is not a good piece.

@stephanie_seul Thanks anyway! It's been very useful.

@VicTurk I think I am spoiled from that point of view: most of the Polish and French newspapers are digitalised in one (to each) place, in the Polish case in a totally free access. Ah, the differences when compared to Anglosphere...

@HarrietRichardson Many thanks!

@stephanie_seul Sure! Not many things I am interested in, though. Alas.

@evansmithhist @HarrietRichardson Thank you both! I'm currently in France so will see how the access looks like from here. The source material seem to be very atomised in the UK!

Dear #histodons, what are, according to you, places to find digital versions of British press 1945-1950?

Intellectual and global #histodons, Intellectual History Working Group at the EUI has just announced their CfP for the next graduate conference! Much recommended!
