Hi 👋
We’ll be leaving Twitter in a month.
This is due to the unhealthy rightward drift of the platform, but also the tangible negative impact that its leadership has on the world. We don’t want to line those pockets.
We’ll leave this account up and be active on others. 👇
Find us elsewhere:
BSKY: bsky.app/profile/workingclas…
INSTA: instagram.com/workingclassic…

SITE: workingclassicists.com
This is our last weekend on here! Please do check our pinned tweet for details.
And thank you all for all your support over the last 4 years. We’ve got some really great things planned for the rest of 2025 so do keep an eye on us elsewhere!
❤️

It’s a sad moment for us, but we’ve always tried to do the right thing and this is no different.
We’ll miss anyone who we might end up leaving behind. But we’ll still be working as hard as ever on our site and other social networks. Just not this one.

Join us next week for "no, the Trojan war isn't really a historical event" and "yes, there are some historical insights in myth, but the Trojan war is still fantasy"

I popped into @BlackwellsMcr last week to sign a pile of books for them! These can be ordered via their website.
Amazing, brilliant, and much needed new subject. We’re fully behind this.
