BUT it's at like a 300+ level in history of the Renaissance when I'm at the pre-100 level...
And Cahn would be too, so you'd be in good company, and that's exactly what we need!
So like if there are pages on your community
We're not that organized, we just start discussions on whatever random topic we're interested in at the moment. Just pop into the latest post and start a new thread on whatever you want to talk about, and people will either reply or not, depending on time and interest.
I admit textiles and material culture are not our main focus area, we'd be at more of a pre-100 level, but luzula has posted occasionally on 18th century textiles and costumes (and plants) and such, so maybe the two of you could get a discussion going on that.
... in fact I think I currently know less about Frederick the Great than she says she did since I've never heard of the Russian fanboys.
Neither did Cahn when she started, all she knew was that Frederick was king of somewhere! It was only after Selena and I started answering her questions and posting hundreds of comments that the discussion evolved to bring up Russian fanboys, which were completely new to her.
But that reminds me, do you have a link to wherever the place is where people currently go to ask for pdfs of papers that are on JSTOR? Like, it's not Twitter anymore, surely? Is it Bluesky?
I don't use Twitter or Bluesky, so I have no idea, but I do have JSTOR access and a Dreamwidth DM, just saying. ;)
I did try to follow your link but it is broken - you forgot to paste the address!
The salon link? It works for me, it takes me to cahn's posts tagged "Frederick the Great". If you want to chat, just drop into the latest post (currently this this one, although that will change in the future), hit reply, and start a new thread on Ada Palmer's book or William Morris and brazilwood or textiles or whatever!
ETA: Oh, shoot, I see which one you're talking about. Here you go. It's the second post of salon, so it comes after about 200 comments' worth of complete beginner discussion, and is in response to same.
