Sam is also excited that he just received a Valentine from @scottmanning.com & I don’t have the heart to tell him the cards are for Eric & I. It’s ok. The skeletons can’t read, they’ll never know. 🖤

In all seriousness, I never in my wildest dreams thought I’d make a post like this, but I’ve been fortunate to combine my love of Transformers, medievalism, and Shakespeare into publications, and I wanted to share with y’all.

Look, I'm not trying to convince you that Transformers: The Movie (1986) is Shakespeare and Arthurian Legend, but I have 2 publications in peer reviewed journals that say so.

I know some of y’all have published in peer reviewed journals, but have you ever cited your dad? I did. I mean, I cited my dad. Not yours.
