@drjoannepaul.bsky.social's House of Dudley is a great resource for my mystery-based early modern history/podcast course called "Who or What Killed Amy Robsart?" It's also very readable. #Skystorians #AcademicSky #HistorySky #EarlyModernSky #EarlyModernHistory #EarlyModern

I agree with all the takes about an attack on the humanities being an attack on critical thinking, &c. It’s also about joy, though. ‘Why bother studying that’ is always also a sneer at — why do you think you should get to do something you enjoy? Grow up and be miserable all the time!

Got to meet up with @suespins.bsky.social finally! This was our view over tea and scones. @bodiesandbeing.bsky.social has brought me together with so many amazing people.

Yo, aside from #IMCLeeds I will be in the Lake District, Edinburgh, and the Alnwick area between July 1-20. I would be happy to meet up with any other medievalists or early modernists for tea and informal chat. DM me for specific dates for each area.

I was admittedly high on muscle relaxers when I invented a game for my class called #Puritan #D&D the night before. Nevertheless, it was well received.

Just picked up The Social Life of the #earlymodern Protestant Clergy to read on my Easter holiday away. I'm excited to see many chapters relevant to my interest in clergy wives and daughters. What are you reading this weekend?

Had our first online colloquium today for @bodiesandbeing.bsky.social. I'm stoked to get writing again. Is there any felicity superior to meeting fellow nerds and gesticulating wildly? What gets you revved up for writing and research? #AcademicSky #EarlyModern #MedievalSky #HistorySky #Skystorians

#Knitting this gauge swatch really has confirmed that I chose the best color. This is Gepard Wild and Soft, a fingering weight silk and merino blend, colorway is Forest Green (866). Based on this swatch it looks like I'll be knitting this sweater on 2mm needles (US size 0).

I want to see so many people posting wins. Like the tiniest wins. The biggest wins. A nice flower. Whatever. It is vitally important to the work of changing systems to believe that joy is possible and good things exist. And even without an algo, it's so much easier to go negative.
