Beautiful day at the AHRC international conference at Queen’s, Oxford @oocdtp.bsky.social

I’ve been trying to find out who this bloke is for about a year, and it really doesn’t matter now, but it’s still keeping me up at night. Westmoreland is an Earldom. Dukes of Westminster are all Grosvenors. Who is he?!?!?!

I’m on a hunt for 16thC Habsburg women wearing eagle jewellery. Everything now looks like an eagle. Is that an eagle at the very top of Maria of Austria’s head? Or just some sort of flourish that looks a little like an eagle? Am I an eagle?

I'm currently playing a game of psychological warfare with a man on Goodreads who immediately reads every book I finish and then disagrees with my ratings. Don Quixote is next, mate. Good luck...

every time someone hears my expertise is in queer Shakespeare they’re like, “oh so he was gay?” first of all, Shakespeare doesn’t need to be queer for his plays to be queer—or for us to read & interpret his plays queerly. second of all, yes. yes he was.

Today is the OFFICIAL publication day for TEXTILE SHAKESPEARE! Please indulge me: I want to say a little (perhaps rather a lot) about it and share my acknowledgements - and a discount code! Appropriately,🧵1/10

The cover of a book. Title reads TEXTILE SHAKESPEARE. The illustration shows black embroidery of flowers, fruit, animals and insects on a stained cream ground.
