#medievaltwitter — Public Fediverse posts

So I wrote a book about Twitter. Medieval Twitter to be exact---the interconnections between Twitter's textual modes & medieval literary culture(s), plus medievalists' use of Twitter and the #MedievalTwitter hashtag www.arc-humanities.org/978194240195... @archumanities.bsky.social #MedievalSky 🗃️

I miss #MedievalTwitter and singing with my choir, #MedievalWomensChoir here in Seattle (no longer following COVID protocols). The choir is doing a fundraiser tomorrow with Chaucer’s Canterbury Tales as a theme. I don’t know the script, but I made these illustrations (after the Ellesmere ms.) as decorations. I’m thinking of titles or quotations, like “radix malorum est cupiditas.” Might make a set of greeting cards.

Panic in Detroit (David Bowie), as I had to hand over my "I am autistic"-button at the airport security... for it was a " sharp object" . 🙁

But... I made it to #kalamazoo! Cannot wait for the International Congress on Medieval Studies to start!

Of course, I also brought one of my flutes with me, for some neomedieval entertainment. 😉
