  "textContent": "The History category has 1,400+ starter packs on Bluesky. A decent chunk of them are from academics who migrated from Twitter. Here are the standouts.\n\n US Constitutional Law ( 13718 , @patsobkowski.com, 152+ members) collects constitutional law scholars and legal historians. Timely, given how often constitutional questions come up in the news.\n\n History of War ( 39900 , @drrobthompson.com, 151+ members) is military history—conflicts, strategy, and the historians who study them.\n\n Radical Histories Part I ( 84392 , @historywo.bsky.social, 150+ members) covers labor history, social movements, and histories that don't make it into most textbooks. The \"Part I\" suggests more packs exist.\n\n History-ish ( 325944 , @archivewhisperer.bsky.social, 150+ members) is lighter in tone—archivists, museum workers, and history enthusiasts alongside professional historians.\n\n Dr Robert Bohan's Starter Pack ( 219565 , @robertbohan.bsky.social, 150+ members) and Chris Findlay's Starter Pack ( 203882 , @cfndlay.bsky.social, 150+ members) are both personal curation packs from working historians. Different specializations, both worth following.\n\n Experts on American Law and Government ( 414857 , @jamesstephensjd.bsky.social, 167+ members) bridges history and current affairs—legal scholars, political scientists, and government experts.\n\nPairing starter packs with custom feeds is a good way to keep your timeline focused on history content without unfollowing everyone else. Full starter pack directory is at /starter-packs , and I wrote a guide on how to find Bluesky starter packs .",
