Learned a lot about the #Renaissance from this amazing interview with historian #AdaPalmer!
I didn't know astronomer Kepler was a court astrologer of the Habsburgs, and that his mother was tried for witchcraft.
As a scientist who practices astrology, maybe I'm a scientist in the Renaissance style?
the first person to ask me in person if i am praxis dumbsly will become the next praxis dumbsly

Ada Palmer’s Inventing the Renaissance — a big orange book on a grey background.
My sitting outside a cafe in the sun read. Not possible this week, unfortunately. Shame, it is very good — sparkling writing, surprising facts, and strong opinions.

Ada Palmer entrances the audience with stories.

Presentation: Norse Myth Storytelling with #AdaPalmer
Much of Norse mythology and folk tales were oral, never written down and are lost to us. Clues in surviving stories point to the missing tales.
#TIL about Ullr, kennings, and lawspeakers.
#Norse #Mythology
In regards to Beloved Fandoms, disappointing writers, and tattooed devotions. I am thankful that my two favorite authors are Terry Pratchett and #AdaPalmer. Discworld and Terra Ignota won't let me down. ALL THE PLANNED TATTOOS
So psyched to read this!
In my long-ago grad student days, when medieval studies was my jam, the notion of historical transitions & their contexts fascinated me.
