love this one (though i am biased lol) - what a mesh of citations!
Thank you so much for sharing! (This poem has a shoutout to my grad student @radiodictionary.bsky.social 👌)
dnt think i ever got round to sharing on here my pal's ingenious 'pin the wound on the christ' party game...
part of our very ontology etc.,
though personally, aside from haunting, in another life I think I'd have done well in bit-roles on the west-end... you know when they need an adult extra to play a child? spent a lot of time thinking of this while writing funding applications this yr
feeling attacked

Show me your pet and what they were named after
(i am only briefly cohabiting with this wee chap but he deserves a post, as does his namesake!)
last time i was here there were like 5 users so not sure of the vibe these days... also dont think i can sustain being mildly humorous on two sites so will have to settle for neither xxx

Please sign and share this petition against the end of modern language degrees at the University of Aberdeen. This is a horrifying precedent for a pre 1500 university, & entails job losses

Absolutely! Don’t measure yourself by productivity - therapy is a huge step. I am proud of you, internet stranger!

I'm hosting a new installment of my "intro to neurodiversity for educators" workshop in the new year. I think of it as part of my quest to introduce more faculty to disability history. If you're curious about the history of the terms neurodivergent and neurotypical, this is for you! Links in thread!

A fantastic night at the @bodleianlibraries.bsky.social Chaucer Here and Now exhibition opening! Stunned to meet the incredible Hengwrt Chaucer, the oldest known manuscript copy of the Canterbury Tales! 📜🎉
gorgeous gorgeous girlies contribute to gorgeous gorgeous Chaucer exhibitions xx
hm… bit too close to the sensation that you suddenly deeply understand where the mystics and/or Deleuze/Guatarri are coming from at which point psychiatric intervention becomes necessary…
also just highly amused that my name has been misspelt by news outlets TWICE in the last 3 months… probably more amusing is the fact that the first was about lost luggage and the second a Chaucer tattoo… Read. To. Filth.

I wrote a blog post about paragraphs, a topic that I find under represented in craft essays. Like any craft essay, it's made me more than usually self conscious about my writing. But paragraphs are a very good way to divide thought into units and I would like to talk about them with you.

In response to the disruptions of the last few years, the theme for the 2024 GMS conference will be connections and reconnections. The conference will provide an opportunity to renew old connections, develop new ones, and explore what connections shaped the lives of medieval people. The 2024 Gender and Medieval Studies Conference invites papers that examine the connections that medieval people utilized and developed during the global Middle Ages, but also the interplay between gender and connecting. We seek papers engaging with the theme of connections from a range of disciplines and intersectional approaches, including history, literature, theology, art history, politics, religion, archaeology, and material culture. To what degree did gender shape connections? How might gender facilitate connections? How might it provide a barrier to developing connections? Plenary Speakers: Linda Mitchell, professor emerita of the University of Missouri-Kansas City Laura Kalas, Swansea University
Bursaries will be available for Early Career Researchers, post graduate students and unwaged delegates to present at the conference. To apply for a bursary, please so indicate when submitting your proposal and provide a statement of 100-300 words that situates your proposal within your broader research trajectory and indicates how your participation in the GMS conference will further your academic goals and career development.

Breaking news - Cabbage is in a very small box.
