the mains things i took fr medieval studies is that capital ltrs are overrated 7 abrvs rule

a bit ago there was a story about a male academic who published an article about himself jacking off. oh so when a man does that it's 'research', but when I bring a vibrator into the reading room in my clear plastic bag it's 'i'm sorry ma'am i'll have to ask you to leave that in the lockers outside'

Also in my job: I deal with a lot of old letters in French, and whenever I tell my wife I was working with 'french letters', she chuckles and goes 'fnar fnar!' Apparently this never gets old. I am now considering making a film about my life called 'Carry On Cataloguing!'

here's some more gorgeous manuscript stuff for you - and a request if any of you read Punjabi! Google lens tells me this says, among other things: 'Western Uttar Pradesh' and 'written in 1886, at the end of the year', which seems to good to be true - anyone able to confirm or add anything?
