  1. CW: NSFW Sex Game

    You are a #monarch in #medieval times. Your goal is to make your subjects happy. Your subjects are mostly women. Only way you can do through is #sex

  2. All-around very cool story and well worth the read. 💛

    #Nuns & #NativeWomen from the #indigenous #Shinnecook tribe in #NewYork have started a #kelp #farm to help remove #carbon & #nitrogen / #nitrates #pollution from their #ocean waters.

    After two years, there are #scallops, #clams, #SeaHorses, and other #MarineLife not seen in years, sheltering the kelp lines.

    It's not just an #environmental success story, but of #friendship, #allyship, & support as well. 💪

  4. My blog post today is a set of links for research on manuscripts and incunables from German-speaking lands, particularly from women's convents

  5. “Bad is the companion who hinders the common task.”

    Quoted from the 15th c Heiningen Philosophy Tapestry (and drawn from Aristotle) but applicable to so many different circumstances!

  6. Rebel #octogenarian Austrian #nuns win reprieve

    The tumultuous story of #runaway sisters Rita, 82, Regina, 86, and Bernadette, 88, defying the #church hierarchy made headlines across the globe.

    The trio ran away from the care home the #Catholic Church sent them to "against their will" and broke back into their abandoned #convent at #Goldenstein #Castle in #Elsbethen near the city of #Salzburg in September, with the help of supporters.

  7. The Sisters of Kloster Goldstein who fled the old-age home to return to the convent are allowed to stay — if they give up social media and lawyer consultations

    It’s almost like their Provost didn’t have their best interests at heart

    (He didn’t)

  8. Today I learned…

    We were talking about enclosed nuns and SATB repertoire. (Go watch the Vivaldi Gloria documentary about the SATB women of the Ospedale. Do it, I’ll wait!)

    Anyway, on of our conference colleagues reported that her mother and her twin sister, both age 80, were now comfortably singing tenor and bass respectively.

    So convent SATB was almost certainly possible in at least some places, even without instrumental support

    Love that!

  9. The Sisters at Kloster Goldenstein are definitely winning the publicity war! The three Augustinians are making the case that the church needs to give back by letting them inhabit their cloister as they'd been promised. And they've got a great Instagram presence to support their claims! I blogged about them today (and donated too)

  11. Defiant nuns flee Austrian care home for their abandoned convent in the Alps bbc.com/news/articles/c5y8r2gk

    <<Three Austrian nuns in their 80s have run away from the retirement home where they were placed and gone back to their former convent.

    Sister Bernadette, 88, Sister Regina, 86, and Sister Rita, 82, are the last three nuns at the Kloster Goldenstein convent in Elsbethen, just outside Salzburg.

    They regained access with the help of former students and a locksmith.>>

  12. They are often talked about in relation to urban legends about vampires, but I think a super cool group of women are the Ursuline Nuns.

    The original ones averaged 23 years old and were so impactful that New Orleans became the city where it was twice as likely to be literate as a woman, whether you were free or enslaved.

    Here is a book I'll be starting that talks about this awesome order who accomplished the impossible:

  13. Rebel Hearts is a hidden gem. It tells the story of the radical Catholic nuns in 1960s Los Angeles whose faith, defiance and activism turned the Church upside-down. They marched at Selma with MLK and they still fight for social justice today. Their story is incredible and it will fill you and your students with hope and fire. 4/n

  17. Today I finished transcribing the monastic chronicle from the convent I’m researching. The back portion included two Latin abstracts and one German abstract which largely agree in content but not always exact details. It’s clear that there was an effort to elevate one of the early Maisterin, so we get two short miracle stories in and among other details

    The work of assessment is a task for another day; today we celebrate “being done, part one”!

  18. Update on the 1618 comet:

    for some reason, the back part of the chronicle has a somewhat revised narrative; this one mentions that the comet ("star") has multiple tails. The narrator here is less daunted by the event than was the early.

    If it were my period, I'd be doing a detailed comparison of the differences. Neat that it's there, though! Did the sisters have second thoughts about the gloom-and-doomness of the principle text?

  19. Cool; my nun reports on the brightest of the three comets of 1618, and uses it as occasion to pray "for the Christian church, which is in the greatest danger, and for the House of Austria"

    Clearly, anxiety is still running high. (We're less than a decade away from the great storm); trauma-informed readings of natural events are still at the core of this section of the chronicle.

  20. This 17th century narrator is excessively interested in the weather. On the other had, the nuns nearly starved after the horrible storm wiped out the crops one fall, so we are seeing the legacy of #trauma in what draws her attention
