Erin Goatkeeper @handtotheneedle.bsky.social · 13ha lovely story - it feels key to the kind of person and scholar he was. I've only read/listened to his books (as an armchair historian, not a real one) but am very grateful for him and what he's done in the field. My condolences to those who knew him personally - even if just kindness over coffee 010
Erin Goatkeeper @handtotheneedle.bsky.social · 10/10/2026I've been saving the latest medieval news episode of @americanmedieval.bsky.social with you and @tlecaque.bsky.social as a treat; I appreciate y'all. These are dark days and we need historians to yell about what's the same and what's different and about what we haven't learned from history 050
Erin Goatkeeper @handtotheneedle.bsky.social · 10/10/2026wow, what an intelligent, measured review that isn't judgy about how cookies-on-the-bottom-shelf it is for folks like me! congrats on good scholars saluting your scholarship, gents 🙌🥳⭐️ and on the pb release! 150

Erin Goatkeeper @handtotheneedle.bsky.social · 10/10/2026if I wasn't so hard on clothes...it def increases my workload and therefore increases friction, but I need these to last! yeah, cosplay, plus if you are riding the wave of fashion more, maybe durability matters less. I mean, fast fashion garments would die in the wash too so 🤷♀️ 110

Erin Goatkeeper @handtotheneedle.bsky.social · 06/10/2026YES THIS. I completely understand why folks wouldn't want public coffers to pay for opera and orchestras, but I myself love them and we people that love them either find a way to pay for them or they do not exist, they're not a factory. You put money in and classical music comes out 191
