@queermedieval Gorgeous! Do you know what manuscript it’s from?

"British higher education is like the Titanic after it had hit the iceberg. It is fatally flawed below the waterline, but it is still floating, and many passengers have difficulty believing that it will go under. Yet the water is pouring in and rising." 👀https://t.co/M8l5O7LFjV

To this point, we need to better enable access to research materials for those who want (or need, or are forced) to continue their research outside the academy post-PhD. How can we make sure that people can continue to do the research and write the books that only they can do?

The premodern world held possibilities and imagined futures: the physical and metaphysical systems that were actively built and contested then continue to inform the world in the present.

Wealth confers so many advantages in college admissions, from test prep and better schooling to unpaid internships and development preference for children of donors. Here’s the latest edge: research citations from “peer-reviewed” journals. https://t.co/kqeKMgqbeT

Unquestionably the best bit of the #Coronation was when #CharlesIII didn't get to kiss the Augustine gospels because even mighty Kings must submit to the authority of #librarians.

Beginning of the semester reminder for TTs: your tenure comes at the expense of your contingent colleagues’ under-compensated labour. You are the beneficiary of an inequitable system. Act like it, and use every moment to advocate for those who put you where you are.

[Emily Rendek @ERendek]

Guilty.

[Emily Rendek @ERendek]

Didn’t know #UnchartedMovie was based on a video game so I’m only commenting on the actual movie. Was it Oscar worthy? No. Fun to watch? Yes. It’s what mixing National Treasure and The Goonies with a dash of Mission Impossible (for its absurd stunts) would produce.

[Emily Rendek @ERendek]

@Lady_Historian I loved The Dictionary of Lost Words (haven’t read any of the others).
