#folklorist — Public Fediverse posts

I believe this is the first time I have ever been picture-captioned as a #folklorist, so I'll take that as a win, even if the article then doesn't say anything more about it.

It was a real privilege to be part of the New #Carnival Company's 2026 launch last week.

niche post but I've been going in yet another Ruth Rubin deep dive lately preparing for a song teaching thing this winter--she was a Canadian-American #Yiddish song collector and #folklorist --and I came across this 1978 musical evening recording with her in #Montreal c/o the Jewish Public Library's old cassette collection digitized at the Yiddish Book Center. Her lecturing mostly in Yiddish about folksongs & after 30min or so, singing.

So, originally "based" meant you smoked ("freebased" smokable) crack, then it meant you were weird like someone who smoked crack, then it meant you weren't afraid to be called weird because you were unapologetic and you had that swagger, then it meant you were unapologetic about being alt-right, and then it meant you're an asshole who's drunk that alt-ride koolaid. What a ride this little slang has been on. #linguistodons #folklorist #slang #histodons

The HIGHLIGHT of my #Xmas haul is @SimonRoyHughes 's excellent Annotated Edition of the complete Norwegian #Folktale collection from the legendary Asbjørnsen & Moe.

The most complete English translation of these works ever made, easily. Absolutely gold mine of interesting tales for #writers looking for ideas and contextual info for amateur #folklorist

Or, you know, just reading them to folks like your kids--as they are meant to live.

Playing image roulette with this post, but I make no bones about liking the robust #art often found in #graffiti. It's the #artwork I take the most photos of, though I dislike when it defaces or threatens. Like homelessness, it comes from the ills and emotions fermenting in a sour mashup of our society's worst tendencies. As a #folklorist, I see it also spring from desire for change as well as coping with it all.

Is #Banksy a sell out? An artistic master? Does the art say anything relevant? https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c5yd66w769zo

TFW you give a popular talk at an event not quite in your own comfort zone and end up twitching with ethnographic fieldwork curiosity about the other presenters #folklorist

I've just boosted my #introduction again, because the acceleration of downhill over at the eX-Twitter is reaching cheeserolling proportions. So, #folklore #folklorist #folkmusic #surrealist #cannibalism peeps (among others), get networking

What is a working #folklorist? Someone who strives to help others notice, understand and recognize the worth and power of expressive culture.

I just added a page to my website for consulting. This used to be its own whole website, but at this point in my career I'm trying to blend my work as an artist and scholar with my other life as a creative services provider ... and so, here goes! The consulting page is live! https://ramblersjournal.com/consulting/

New #introduction for the new folks! I #amwriting #magicalrealism #fiction. I'm a #scholar and a #folklorist. I'm an #artist. I've consulted in #branding and #strategy for 15 years. I just got a masters in #anthropology and #history because that's what I'd like to focus on, moving forward. You can find my #art on patreon.com/independentpen, along with lots of other stuff – public talks that I give at conferences and such, and some of my fiction read aloud, and my #poems.

Probably a good time for another #introduction...

I'm a Welsh #folklorist and #author with expertise in #ghostlore and particular #academic interest in the appearance of #spirits in the Welsh tradition.

I've recently co-authored 'The #Folklore of #Wales: #Ghosts' with researcher and podcast host Mark Norman, which is due out Sep 28 with Calon books.

I'm also an #antiquarian book collector, with a #library of some of Wales's rarest folkloric texts.

#Cymraeg iaith gyntaf; expect a bit of both.

Hey #folklore peeps, I thought I'd have another go at searching out some of the #academic #folklorist types who tried to follow me when this instance had its little glitch a while back, as well as other lovely #folklorists who may have arrived here since.

Hit me up with suggestions...

I've pinned and reboosted my #introduction, but I thought I'd have another bash round the potted summary of hashtags as I try to reconnect with stuff lost in the past few days.

#folklore is pretty much the most important to me - I'm an #academic #folklorist, do #fieldwork, think & write about #folkloristics, and really really REALLY like hanging out with/listening to other #folklorists.

I started off with #folk, #folksong, #folkmusic, ended up doing a PhD on #ghostlore #ghosts #ghost but love/am interested in all sorts of stuff, like #cannibalism, #rats, #folkhorror

Other important things:
#surrealism #fantomas #Dowland #Classics #Berlioz

Live on #isleofwight, like at the end of Day of the Triffids.

Yes! First sighting of HT #folkloristics! As a British #folklorist it's not a word I've adopted/taken to in any big way, although I do use it for clarity, but it's a useful marker/identifier for #folklore scholars here, I think.
