@RozierHistorian I wouldn't mind writing that a thousand times if I didn't also at least once every round have to write: "If you have read something online that also has appeared in print, it is not enough to simply give me the URL in your footnote."

Medievalists! Please explore the site of the new AHRC-funded research network, 'Noblesse oblige?'. The network re-evaluates ‘baronial’ government and the common good between the 10th and 14th centuries across different Afro-Eurasian polities: https://t.co/nXCgaN11hG

But what does this loss look like? My attempt to visualise it: each bird represents 1 million pairs - many more (57) fade out than are replaced (21). Thanks to all @_BTO #volunteers whose observations provide evidence for action👉https://t.co/zza1JqQXlw #ornithology #conservation

I think this is cool. At least it‘s worth trying: #AHAReads Who is joining? https://t.co/aemUqkHKwh

[m.c.tranter @mctranter1]

@ABinnenkade Worth a try!

We sometimes get asked “What has striking achieved?”

So far, your action over the last 14 months has achieved:

—The highest pay offer in a decade
—2x payments of £650 for staff G6 and below
—Extra holidays
—Commitment to review pay scales/grading/insecure contracts…

@JackyP599 I'm glad! We've got a new policing and security minister in town, who seems to think she needs to leave a mark somehow. It's the third demonstration this year with a ridiculous police reaction and people are really getting fed up.

Sad news! One of the highlights of my MA in Durham was a tour of the Monk's Dormitory with her and Clare Stancliffe.

[Durham Archaeology @ArcDurham]

It is with great sadness that we learnt of the death of Professor Dame Rosemary Cramp. Rosemary was hugely influential in archaeology and academia as the first female Professor at Durham, and was instrumental in the founding of the archaeology department. https://t.co/dctULaej0l

@RozierHistorian Very kind, thank you!!

[m.c.tranter @mctranter1]

#medievaltwitter Help! Has any helpful medievalist got a pdf of Barbara Yorke's 'The Legitimacy of St. Edith' they could send me? Haskin Society Journal 11, 97-114. I can only access more recent issues from here. @RozierHistorian perhaps? Thank you!!
