Can’t wait to share my work on #medievalism on stage (including Camelot and Pippin) in London later this month!

Going through my childhood vaccine records like it’s 2025.

Nothing better illustrates how well the tech industry markets its mendacity than convincing people that they have managed to predict people’s needs when what they have actually done is modify people’s behavior.

Yes! That was so engaging. The idea that the *fuzzy semantics* around defining AI helps create a cultural narrative that fuels market demand for LLMs is very compelling. I’d love to read more of your work on this.

Happening now!

So proud to share that the Viator cluster on "Early Global Insularities"@nahir.bsky.social and I co-edited was published today. We got a chance to explore the histories, archives, and literature of premodern islands with an amazing and diverse community of scholars. cmrs.ucla.edu/publications...

An engraving by Gustave Doré of Inferno 34. Two figures stand on a promontory at night gazing at the stars.

I low-key love 15th cen Burgundian, which is chaos-evil.

Just lol 😂

How awesome! This is such a great idea. Do you have a favorite script and/or century to teach?

Yes, me too! Just finished reading the book 1000 Words and am looking forward to this sprint!

Enjoy! All Creatures (the series and the books) is my go-to restorative ritual…

On my 2025 reading list…

I’m working on a book chapter on Pippin and this is very exciting :)

I keep trying to write something eloquent and just being tired.
History matters. Philosophy matters. Languages and literature matter. Indigenous studies matter. Arts and humanities and social sciences matter. All of them.

Love this so much! Total dissertating energy 💯

Early morning view of quiet neighborhood.

There is a certain sparkle to waking up early on a frosty winter morning to write as the sun rises.

As my first #bsky post, here’s a shot of my first-morning-coffee, blue-sky view. ☀️
