And here's a bunch of other #EarlyModern starter packs 🤓
A (long) thread of (anglophone) #StarterPacks and #feeds of interest to #EarlyModern #skystorians.

The first two posts list a sample of hashtags for which Bluesky feeds currently exist. The following forty-two(!) posts list starter packs for scholars of various aspects of early modern history.

If you're interested in history and culture c. 1300-1700 (more or less), do check out the THREE starter packs of experts in the field who are on here.

If you are an #earlymodern specialist who isn't in one of these yet but would like to be, just let the great @onslies.bsky.social know.

Another exodus from the other site, from the sounds of it? If you're looking for the #EarlyModern gang, we've got three starter packs that compile a bunch of them. I can keep adding to the third, just poke.
