"Malory Aloud" is truly the heart and soul of #kazoo2023! As always the performance tonight was interactive, imaginative, and simply incredible due to the efforts of the virtually attending narrators and actors (some of which are past and present Goliards!)

#kzoo2023 is almost at a close, so please swing by booth 41 for more hyperspecific nerd items! Even if you saw us on Thursday we have a new tote and new shirts, including this year's official ICMS 2023 attendee shirt that celebrates "We're back, baby!" #goliardicsociety

A trip to the Newberry was an ess-uncial activity for a few of our Goliards interested in codicology and paleography!

[WMU Special Collections @WMURareBooks]

WMU's MDVL 6000 class visited Chicago's Newberry library, where they were treated to wonderful instruction by Christopher Fletcher. It was fabulous to explore some of the Newberry manuscripts, such as this 15th century Flemish gem (MS 55.5). Thank you!

The Goliards continue to quest! Six of our Goliards (starting from the left), @SabrinaWmichDH, @kylielowens, Anna Davis, @aidanjkyle1, @GrimesNathanae1, and, not pictured, @mdvlspencer presented their papers on Fashioning the Middle Ages at the MAMA Conference this past weekend!

It's #medievalmememonday! Here is another great submission from the Goliards' own @AKHeskin! #medievalmemes #medievaltwitter

This is applicable to almost any medieval tale with Merlin in it. #medievaltwitter #medievalmememonday #Merlin

Two of our Goliards, @AlexQuinnBowman and @kylielowens, had a blast at the @NewberryLibrary for the conference on Attending to Women 1100-1800: Performance! Thank you to all the organizers of this event! #medievaltwitter #goliardsgonewild

[Goliardic Society of Western Michigan University @WMUGoliards]

Ah, nothing like super niche memes for lesser known Saint's Lives. This one was inspired by a goliardic discussion of the Life of Saint Euphrosyne/Smaragdus and made by our own @AKHeskin! #medievalmememonday #medievaltwitter #medievalmemes
