Maturity is realizing that you’re not Amelia Mignonette Thermopolis Renaldi, Princess of Genovia, but very much resemble her grumpy neighbor Mr. Robutusen.

“HeY gUys, LoOk my LeGs diSapPearEd!”

jk, it’s obviously Joseph getting bullied by his brothers. Except it wasn’t bullying but full-on attempted murder. But this depiction really made me laugh, and I hope it makes you snicker.

Meeting a medievalist who works on the same century as you do, not at a conference but in the wild, is honestly such a surreal and dopamine-inducing experience. And they’re always super nice!

We have now reached the point where tradcaths attack the pope for preaching FORGIVENESS 😱

Once you call the message of forgiveness dangerous and heretical you’ve really shown your true colors. Unbelievable.

@R_D_Johnson I feel you! For me the main thing has been leaving things behind that stress me out, even if I’d love them in theory. I had to leave a ministry job I thought was gonna be my future. But it was worth it, and after I left I slowly got better. Wishing you well!

@WeirdMedieval How it feels reading a ton of student emails on a Monday morning…

“Margaret Mary’s experience of belonging is the passive response to relentless divine dominance. Belonging, to her, does not feel like coming home, arriving at a safe place of comfort. It feels like becoming property. She is owned, body and soul.”

“Radical, raw, unhinged. The history of Christian spirituality is full of people subverting what we believe spirituality looks like.”

Escape (The Piña Colada Song) is just the golden retriever version of Kate Bush‘s Babooshka.

It was such a pleasure getting to talk to @medievalmystics about my favorite Mytic, the struggles of male friendship and some of the discoveries from my research.

This week Delphine Conzelmann (@writerdelphine) shares her love of theologian William of St-Thierry. We talk about his annoyance with Abelard, his "friendship" with Bernard of Clairvaux, the Song of Songs, and academic infirmaries. Listen anywhere or at https://t.co/J17xyfXk1t

@gremlita With influencers it’s much more difficult to ignore the fact that they’re ultimately “selling us”. We are the product in the world of influencer matketing. And as much as celebrities are in their own way driving capitalist consumerism, we are their audience, not their product.

When in doubt, invent Post-Its.

Once again seeking scholars studying "mystics" outside of the Western Christian tradition. If you know anyone who might be interested in speaking about their favourite non-Christian mystic, please send them my way!! #Mysticism
