A late Halloween Post: When your dissertation is due in two weeks and the Interlibrary Loan emails accumulating in your inbox are becoming threatening.

In fantastic news for medievalists, 'Perfume and Milk' from Florence + the Machine's new album Everybody Scream contains references to Julian of Norwich's Revelations of Divine Love, and allusions to the General Prology of the Canterbury Tales (as well as, I think, the opening of Fitt II of SGGK)

Genuinely delighted to download a PhD thesis from a university repository where the author has neglected to remove the words "BITCH THIS IS YOUR THESIS" from the filename.

Holding out for the day I find a medieval manuscript opening a shoebox or searching for athletic equipment in my closet. www.bbc.com/news/article...

Worrye not about 'being productive,' for thou art not a product. Thou art a star daunsinge yn a hopeful skye. A signal blinking across centuryes and worldes. Thou art a song performid just once and perfectlye.

Critical thinkinge ys vitallye ymportant and manye academic fieldes rightfullye clayme that thei teache it. Englisshe majors learne critical thinkinge too, but thei also learne creative thinkinge and compassionate thinkinge.

If you are in or near Baltimore you should know that the Walters Art Museum (which is free!) has a small but wonderful exhibit about cats in medieval manuscripts
