Perfect timing to come on the pod and chat to us about it! I sent you an email. Let’s get ‘er booked!

Hampshire College to lay off over 200 employees as closure looms next year Hampshire College's closure is one of more than two dozen schools in the state that have closed over the past decade.

Happening on this side of the pond too. This is merely the most recent example. The academy is very very bleak.

Having to empty the house of my former partner who died in late 2024. Lots of amazing books, journals free to rehome but also rare books for sale including ‘Monumenta Palaeographica Vindobonensia’ vols 1 and 2. Please comment on this post if interested #booksky #palaeography

That’s me!

Another important triad in life….time, resources ($$), and health. Their confluence in any of the wolf stages is rare and fleeting.

Gonna have to agree on this one 100%

This is crazy amazing news right on the heels of our @vikingologypodcast.bsky.social chat with @jaztherunologist.bsky.social a few days ago!

🆕️ A ring with a runic inscription has been reported to the PAS.

Dr @jaztherunologist.bsky.social told AWLOH: ‘This is an incredibly exciting find for runologists in Britain because it adds to our growing collection of runic inscriptions in the Anglo-Saxon Fuþorc'.

Super fun chat!

Hear, hear!

Read this this morning! Highly recommend, from @drstamnes.bsky.social et al

We’re beginning to get quite the timeline from Hjortspring to Oseberg on the ‘viking longship timeline’. Also synergises with recent work on maritime power in Avaldsnes by Dagfinn Skre

Well worth a read

Tomorrow we’re talking to @jaztherunologist.bsky.social on @vikingologypodcast.bsky.social. We’ve solicited runic inscriptions for her to decipher. My husband said he wanted to send her the runic tattoo on my arm 😮
I can’t go there. Too late to find out I got it wrong! (but I didn’t 😉)

Perhaps ‘literally’ then? ;)

Thank you 🙏🏻

Your convo with Sasha Sidorkin on Thinking in the Midst Podcast last year actually influenced my thinking on AI as an educator
