Talking Digital Folklore with @profjeannie on @upraccess RIGHT NOW! 😁

[Digital Folklore @DigFolkProj]

New in 2023! 🍾🥂 The DFP has switched up our terminology and we're now announcing the #DigitalLoreOfTheYear rather than the #DigitalTrendOfTheYear! We feel that "digital lore" better targets the kind of folkloric content that we're documenting 😊

[Digital Folklore @DigFolkProj]

Should Karen make it on the ballot this year??

[USU English @USUEnglish]

Today is the day! We're excited to hear from Dr. Peterson! @USUFolklore

[Lynne S McNeill, PhD @lynneSmcneill]

I love hearing brilliant folklorists represent my discipline so perfectly :) If you're not currently listening to Betsy Peterson (of the AFC, of the @librarycongress) give the #FifeHonorLecture, you're missing out! #FolkloreThursday

You never know what you'll find when digging in the archives... #FootCake #FolkloreThursday #Baking

[Lynne S McNeill, PhD @lynneSmcneill]

I love the random stuff we have in the Fife Folklore Archives! My lucky students get to dig through our legends today! #FolkloreThursday

[Lynne S McNeill, PhD @lynneSmcneill]

I'm not here to be debunking anything, because I'm a folklorist. I'm more interested in belief. -@tompowercbc (in conversation with Dan Ackroyd, no less). And here I thought I couldn't adore @cbcradioq any more?? #FolkloreThursday #FolkloreRules

It's full of box elder bugs AND ghosts!

[Alison Berg @alison__berg]

We have a cemetery on our campus and the elevator in the Family Life/Ray B. West building is still easily the most terrifying part of campus.

[Erick L. Graham Wood @GrahamWoodMedia]

I once used a bathroom in Ray B. West, got lost for 6 days, met a centaur and a talking lion, and quite honestly had the most peaceful experience in a bathroom ever. (Aside from the boxelder bugs and exposed radiators.)

[USU Folklore Program @USUFolklore]

If you want a good laugh, search Twitter for tweets about Ray B. West (the building that houses the @USUEnglish department)! Or stop by the English office to see some featured examples. :) #BoxElderBugs4EVA
