Still excited about this, still sharing it, still can't believe I get to be involved with cool things like this ... but also ... still fighting with my own peri-menopausal symptoms and full of rage. It's a rollercoaster of emotions today!

I kinda want to extract the paths of the fencing foils and embroider them. 😍 #DHmakes

5/6, join online+free @scholarslab.bsky.social event by our DH Fellow Seanna Viechweg for a very good example of DH dissertation work right now: interactive digital pedagogy exploring how we can practice speculative reinterpretation as a way of asking "what if?" when archives fall short +

It's so reassuring to see registrations coming in for our study day. We're really excited to hear from our speakers and engage in conversation about the importance of (peri-)menopause and how it has been represented historically (and today!?) Programme and registration link in the comments!

My bio for conference papers often says that I am an advocate for making digital humanities methods more inclusive and accessible. Mainly because I know that they can be incredibly useful but they intimidate me. Today I am finally "properly" advocating by organising a workshop. Link in comments...

The reading packs produced by the @vpfa.bsky.social's third sex reading group are always gorgeous, and the discussions are always great. What's not to love! Join us Wed 17th Sept @ 5.30pm UK time to discuss the highly problematic "Lodore". Everybody welcome... message for more details.

The link for the reading group on Lodore is now live ... www.eventbrite.com/e/lodore-tic... please join us!

This photo may be upsetting to some people as it shows a book being vandalised... aka my notes on Mary Shelley's Lodore. Key words so far are: Incestuous, Angel of the House, and depression. Looking forward to discussing further on 17 September at the VPFA 3rd sex reading group.

Love this article from 1905. When I first read "Women especially are tired out. You can't find one who has energy enough to make her husband a shirt" I did a little eye-roll and was ready to dismiss it as 19thC patriarchal BS, but then I kept on reading....

2 things that are helping me stay focussed and sane .... Walking on a treadmill whilst reading and using the Forest app which grows a tree over a 25 minute "focus" period. It helps me to leave my phone alone as the tree dies if I leave the app within the 25 minutes. Any other practical tips!?
