Sadly paywalled

Today is the Festum Asinorum, the Feast of the Asses, commemorating the flight into Egypt. Think, too, of the donkeys who work for humans globally. Perhaps donate to the Donkey Sanctuary Canada that rescues so many — today might be a good day to make a donation & remember donkeys past and present.

Wither patriarchy & anti-feminism? I have just read two very different articles; “Real Masculinity Terrifies the System” positing “There is a war on men" and "What is ‘Toxic Femininity’?” arguing society will crumble with the “shift female dominance.” Are we really back in the 1990s? #medievalsky

I’ve been reflecting on independent and assertive Catholic religious women. #medievalsky

My gift to all my friends, cat-lovers or not, going back to their offices and classrooms. A feline survival guide for the neo-liberal university. Plus it is clever and light-hearted and will elicit a smile on this Labour Day weekend. Stay safe out there. #medievalsky

Had the pleasure of meeting the Lord Lyon at the Fergus Scottish Festival.

Hey #medivalsky friends. Thinking of going to Leeds next year if there is a panel I can squeeze into. Sexes, genders, sexualities esp masculinities. Also have a 12th century hagiography project. Please let me if you think there might be a fit.

#medievalsky Tonight I am being interviewed about popes and conclaves (Monday, May 12th, at 6 pm) on the Brian Crombie Hour Sauga radio 690 am or watch the episode on lnkd.in/g9_8b6gE

Opened a mystery box and found this! A medievalist’s lifetime in one volume. So happy to see this between covers. Thanks to everyone involved. #medievalsky

Opinion: Ever since the Middle Ages, papal conclaves have been rife with intrigue The secret ceremony that elects a new pope has changed over two millennia – but our fascination stems from real historical evidence

My contribution to providing an historical context to conclaves beyond a vague “ancient tradition.” #medievalsky
