I think the WVU situation is actually much more serious than we think. I would like to articulate this, because (as others say) it is of national and international import, bearing on upcoming changes at Florida by @BenSasse and in the UK. (1/x)

@Patti_Russo Lovely! Happy 4th of July!

We discovered Thomas Cromwell’s Book of Hours…and it’s the book painted on Cromwell’s desk by Hans Holbein the Younger in his famous portrait of Cromwell!! @hevercastle @DrOwenEmmerson

Celebrated some positive job market news with a quick trip up to New York to see a few shows. I will miss being only a train ride away.

@paul_salzman I am sorry that I didn't get to hear your observations in person, but I very much enjoyed your contributions via Zoom.

It was exciting (and a little nerve-racking) to participate in my first SAA seminar on Mary Wroth at #Shax2023. Very grateful to learn from such a wonderful group of scholars!

Lots of new bling found in an early medieval English burial site of an unknown woman dating to the 6th century. Cool find. #medievaltwitter https://t.co/uwOKe1AxDy

For those waiting to read the response essays from Carissa Harris, Sarah Baechle, and me until they're on Project Muse, just a reminder that the 2021 CR special issue on the ethics of Chaucer scholarship that Carissa and Sarah edited *is* currently accessible. #ChaucerLifeRecords

Rowes and flowes of seraph hair
And sugarid castles yn the ayre
And feathir valleyes everichwher
Ich thoughte on cloudes that waye

Yet now thei do but block the sonne
Thei rayne and snowe on everichon
So manye things Ich wolde have done
But cloudes did block the waye

No unelected body should have the power to strip people of their human right to autonomy, especially an institution as plagued by controversy, illegitimacy, and naked partisanship as the United States Supreme Court. @sandylocks on #DobbsVJWHO #RoeVWade #LiberateAbortion

I’m here for the women who get abortions just because they want to. No explanation. If she does not want to be pregnant, that’s a good enough reason to me. I truly do not care. I’m done playing this morality game.

As promised, here’s your mashup analysis of @LilNasX’s “That’s What I Want” and the 10th-century Old English poem called “The Wanderer” in time for #Pride.

This bibliography offers a genealogy of the scholarly work in premodern (critical) race studies. It exhibits the long history of this scholarship and shows the new directions for critical inquiry that have emerged in recent years. https://t.co/G9J3WwDYXv
