A coworker suffers from gout. A friend is in West Africa battling malaria and typhoid. What century is this?

I need an honest assessment. Are these stamps creepy?

I was chillin outside and this little guy walked right up to me. He was startled when I talked to him, but he didn’t scamper off. We’ve left carrots for him.

This is the second snapping turtle I’ve helped across the road in as many weeks.

This is the proper text to footnote ratio. Some may disagree but they would be wrong.

In a hallway that connects Terminal A East and West at the Philly International Airport, there is a series of giant black and white photos of the city. Among them is Emmanuel Frémiet’s Joan of Arc equestrian statue.

📢 Pub. day for my latest piece of research, looking at women who played knights & pages in 1910s-1920s historical pageants and their likely influence on Radlyffe Hall's 'Well of Loneliness' (1928), with its gallant girl-boy chevaliers, heritage closets, cropped hairstyles & dreamy Romance loci ✨️😃

I never wanted an ultron cookie jar until I saw his disembodied head at a flea market. this could be an actual piece in the mcu. like, maybe tony stark doesn’t even like cookies but he wants to make a show of his conquered foe.

I made this guide for a friend who is trying their hand at some calligraphy. I developed this script based on Carolingian minuscule. I’ve made some tweaks over the years, but I like it because it’s legible and I can be a little inconsistent and it still seems natural somehow, like not a mistake.

Working on valentines for friends, family, and coworkers. I’m using pilot parallel pens with Diamine oxblood ink. My script is a combo of blackletter and minuscule uncial. I’ve addressed 100 of these dang things so far. 🖊️ ✉️ ❤️

I keep writing my dad letters with tales of history, and I’m trying to write his name as obnoxiously exotic as possible on the envelopes.

The Rouen clock is gorgeous, but it’s gotta be the simplest example why Roman numerals are a hot mess VI VIIVIIIIX X XIXII 📸mine

I use this book in my first-year topic on Joan's interrogation to guide students through the (many) aspects of medieval society which they're encountering for the first time!

Folks, it’s the 2-year anniversary of my Joan of Arc book 🎂 📕 #booksky

Back in 2018, Joan of Arc was featured in the Sand Sculpture Spectacular held in the middle of Liberty Place in Center City Philly. The theme that year was to recreate the Benjamin Franklin Parkway and Joan’s equestrian statue is an unmissable feature. 📸mine
