🏳️‍⚧️ High Plains Grifter: I made a custom t-shirt for myself a few months before I transitioned, that read TONY JUDT WAS RIGHT I can’t find the pic of me in it that I posted to Twitter, but that pic led to my shirt being cited in a German academic journal article about Judt lmao

Suddenly struck with sadness that it’ll be a long while before I’ll have time in my life to re-read Tony Judt’s POSTWAR

POSTWAR straight up changed my life, flaws and errors and all It both gave me the gist of recent European history in grand/engaging fashion AND made me want to write history again after years of assuming I had missed my shot at doing that professionally I wish I could’ve met Uncle Tony

With your post-transition gender, no less!

Yes, but before I’d picked a new name! It all was happening over the course of a wild 2022!!!

Okay but why are you not selling that shirt?

Where the hell is the mass market for that???

*looks around left-academic bsky*

Yeah like they have any extra cash for novelty shirts

Josie, shut up and take my damn money.

That’s so awesome on many levels. The fact that it’s in a German publication is an extra layer.
