@jembloomfield Ahh - I have missed your huzzahs. I have been getting nostalgic about my uni days since seeing this book. It is a huge achievement. Congratulations.

[Leagsaidh Sutherland @Lexie152]

@jembloomfield Just saw this at my library! (I'll just pop it on the recent returns so everyone can see it)

@runsingletrack @hoka @MaurtenOfficial @runinrabbit @Feetures What t-shirt is this?

[Kate Mulgrew @TheKateMulgrew]

A statement on choice, the Supreme Court, and our society.

Very proud of our first entry into a library competition. Come and check out our crime scene.

The #LincolnLibrary team may be about to defect to MI5 🕵️ They've gone all #SloughHouse after reading #Slowhorses, thankfully they didn't go so far as to bring bags of rubbish in! Dig into Mick Herron's MI5 drop-out series https://t.co/AMoQUs3Ckq @readingagency @johnmurrays

@WilcocksonAmy @UniofNottingham @jodie_l_marley OMG. Everything and everyone ok?

My tomb stone is going to read 'death by referencing'. Did we have it easy as undergrads, or has it suddenly got very complicated, very quickly?

One of the hardest parts of editing is trying to edit myself out of my writing #ChallengesOfAcademia

[Leagsaidh Sutherland @Lexie152]

Found an interesting source relating to Pyrrhic victories, however I don't think I can cite a text called 'Exit Wounds: Overcoming Unprocessed Pain' in my footnotes.

[Leagsaidh Sutherland @Lexie152]

@jembloomfield I wouldn't get any work done. I love that clock tower.

[Leagsaidh Sutherland @Lexie152]

Whilst preparing for my PhD annual review, it has in no way escaped my attention that I have *essentially* written an undergrad dissertation in one month, something that a few years ago I thought was barely manageable when I had four months.

There is only one example of þeaw in the OE corpus which is formatted as action and consequence, akin to the written laws. This is found in Orosius in regards to a funerary custom of the people of the Este.

[Leagsaidh Sutherland @Lexie152]

In the AS corpus, there is only ONE example of something not being a custom (þeaw). This example is in King Alfred's Orosius, saying it was not the custom to count slain men after a battle.

@ErikPetersen I shall do you proud!...(I presume you don't want me to kill all your pets and a servant and bury them with you?)

[Leagsaidh Sutherland @Lexie152]

So I have been absent from the twittersphere for sometime while I have been doing a corpus study on OE þeaw (custom). Fun fact: noble/honest/virtuous (and all good customs) are the most highly represented.
