BREAKING: I've begun the process of revising the dissertation into the book
For those finishing their PhDs and looking towards their book, I'd really recommend this program. I was one of the fellows this year and it is very, very informative about how to shape the proposal and revise for your first book! #medievalsky
The next History of Liturgy Seminar is in London @ihr.bsky.social on Monday 16 March 17.30. Come hear Melanie Shaffer @bristolcms.bsky.social & @carrielarocco.bsky.social. In-person (chat! drinks! people!) or online. #medievalsky

I would need to try to find it (who knows if I could) but I feel like I've seen that in a charter maybe?

Do you know somebody who needs to learn Latin from scratch or improve their Latin to PhD standard? CMS Toronto's summer Latin program is now entirely online and a remarkable bargain for the intensity and quality of instruction. Details here: www.medieval.utoronto.ca/latin/summer...

Gonna roll this one out when people whine about the cost of converting the electric grid to renewables
Klingt spannend!👇

My great mistake in life has been operating under the delusion that it is good to know things.
This is such a cool idea #medievalsky
Meanwhile, Spain's massive investment in renewables is paying dividends now: with prices for Spanish industry and consumers low and stable compared with other European economies.

Remember the last time gas prices were super high and places started tacking on "delivery fees" that never went away? Can't wait to see round 2 of that
Few people know that MGH really stands for M(e)G(a)H(ip)!
I need to make sure everyone nearby knows how cool I am, naturally

Can't wait to open this up!
Seeing ppl circulate projects whose NEH grants were canceled by DOGE reaffirms my argument about AI as a permission structure. Some grants were canceled w/o a “no” from the generated summary. DOGE had a mandate to slash humanities funding & AI gave them the veneer of a rationale for their actions.
This reminds me that I need to really start my "Historian's Closet" where historians come and talk to me about the books that were most informative to them
Its one of the best parts I think!
This is where I'm at. I think we need to more clearly distinguish computational approaches from the Magic Google Box
When we did writing workshops for grad students I often found it more useful when something was more unpolished. Its way easier to engage with it at that stage than a "finished" project
"college isn't right for everyone" I see deployed all the time to shift blame away from defunding higher ed
History is just about how evildoers toppled those great empires, clearly
the emphasis on "order then chaos then order again" also seems to be doing some rhetorical work here
Needs to be stated: this isn't how it works.
Things in the academic world (and elsewhere) are pretty grim currently. I wanted to write something a bit more positive, and personal, about what an academic field can be. Partially inspired by a moment of existential terror when I opened a journal and didn't recognize any of the names. #medievalsky
There is so much great looking stuff, it is both a blessing and a curse that I find all periods of history fascinating
