@majoras_masques Hooray!!! Congratulations!!!

[Dr. Courtney A. Parker @magic_dance]

@allo_nothing Ooh, definitely will keep an eye out. This sounds great!

[Dr. Courtney A. Parker @magic_dance]

Hi friends! I so rarely post, but this is just to say I'm now also over at 🟦☁️. Find me @ magicdance

@jesshamlet @MGYarn @artinstitutechi Oh no. Oh very no.
I know about the milking anecdote (and it's squidgy, to be sure), but this portrait is another level of horror

Ah yes, tis the season when I start listening to Hozier and pairing each song with its analog Donne poem. "In a Week" is absolutely a modern version of "The Ecstasy," and I will not be taking questions.

@jesshamlet Omg I am DECEASED 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[Dr. Courtney A. Parker @magic_dance]

I am SO excited to read this!!

Jennifer Lillian Lodine-Chaffey's A WEAK WOMAN IN A STRONG BATTLE provides critical insights on representations of women on the scaffold, focusing on how female victims and those writing about them constructed meaning from the ritual. Out today!

@Fairies4Change Yeah, that's the plan! It will be a little, obv, but I'm so excited to continue working with this project 🤞🏻

[Dr. Courtney A. Parker @magic_dance]

I'm #PhDone! Today, I defended my dissertation, Women and Witchcraft in Early English Literature, and it was just the best time! AND now I'm a real live doctor (but not *that* kind of doctor, obv)!!

[Dr. Courtney A. Parker @magic_dance]

@LostPlayhouse Thank you!! The plan is to turn it into a book, so hopefully yes!

[Dr. Courtney A. Parker @magic_dance]

@LaraDodds Thanks!!

@AngelineMMorris I am HERE for teaching Paradise Lost, always!

[Dr. Courtney A. Parker @magic_dance]

@AngelineMMorris I also like to spend time with Satan's soliloquy in 4, and get students to compare that with the image he projects in 1 and 2 (this is usually where I have them make a playlist for him) , and then return to that in 9, time permitting, of course!

[Dr. Courtney A. Parker @magic_dance]

@AngelineMMorris 😍book 1😍

IME students have fun breaking down Adam and Eve's reactions to each other in 4, and that's good for talking through their debate about working separately in 9, aka: Marriage amd Gender According Milton
