@jk_rowling Rowling is clearly not a literary historian—otherwise she would know there are many queer folks in medieval and early modern texts. I say this as a PhD candidate in early English literature. Rowling, use your platform for something good instead of promoting ignorance and hate
@debscavator I felt this when I turned 30 and was barely halfway through my diss (so last month). One thing I kept in mind—the time wasn’t wasted. The experiences in those years are valuable and will help you handle what’s to come
I'm a PhD student at @UniofOxford and I think I'm living in a fairytale :-)
Foxes playing around in the snow at Magdalen College this morning — absolutely magical!
In honor of today being National Ice Cream Sandwich Day, we link to this classic post from @rare_cooking's Cooking in the Archives: make some 17th century ice cream this weekend! https://t.co/OsGQbD3T4H
@allo_nothing I really love tiffany.jmarie on IG. Her content is “childfree”, but it’s well articulated and she talks about meaningful friendships and hobbies. She has no hate against children :)
@LostPlayhouse Oo—this is a great theory! The poem talks about generations of bees giving praise for the poet, so makes sense in the context. (And then L = Levett.)
The title is a bit odd too. I wasn't sure if A Cook is another name?
A bookish question—what does it mean when a dedicatory poem is signed with "utcunque"?
I'm looking at a poem by "L. M. utcunque P." and trying to figure out the poet's name
@restalrig Thank you—this is helpful! I didn’t realize it includes a typo 😅
I think the poem was written in praise of Levett, and the book published after his death. But the P being Plato makes a good deal of sense!
