One time in grad school I was working on paleography all day and saw a Wendy's ad that said their new salad had 11 varieties of greens. I was like "Two isn't that much for a mixed green salad..."
Extremely niche #medievalistproblems: Celestina seems an extremely weird name for a little girl mouse in a children’s book.
Always accidentally calling the Atlético Madrid stadium Wamba-Metropolitano. #medievalistproblems #extremelynichepost
I'm reading about an allegedly incorrupt arm relic, and my brain (unprompted) is struggling to visualize the shoulder end of it. Detached sinew (which, if incorrupt, must surely be gory)? Miraculously covered over with flesh? #MedievalistProblems
It's almost half past nine in the morning, & I've come to realise that I actually do have a favourite set of medieval Danish annals.

Briefly excited about a reference to a manuscript pertaining to Saint Thomas Cantilupe in the TV series Midwinter of the Spirit (2015), but massively disappointed to see that it's a mock-up that isn't even trying to look like an actual C13 or early-C14 manuscript.

The "A" key on my laptop is a little sticky. It doesn't make it as hard to write about al-Andalus as you might think... #medievalistproblems
I… completely misunderstood this post until I saw the picture. #medievalistproblems
How… dead? #medievalistproblems
Systematically reading "De Cultu Feminarum"a as "De Cthulu Feminarum" and laughing to death every time. #MedievalistProblems
Screenshot of a draft with the word 'Sigibert' occurring three times in quick succession - reminiscent of the hit movie Beetlejuice.
Read this part out loud and now I have an undead Merovingian haunting me.

Carolingian scribes had amazing handwriting. WTF 13th century Venetian scribes. #medievalistproblems
I thought my troubles with minims were over after I stopped archival work. But no. Age has struck again and now as a copy editor I’m squinting at any word with a “uniu” combination, or even just “in.” Did an “m” sneak in there? Two “n”s in a trenchcoat?

I wish I could learn like 5 more dead languages #MedievalistProblems
When you're sitting in the coffeeshop working on a class slide about premodern Japanese language and the person next to you is prepping something on teaching Latin and don't be that person trying to make all the premodern friends do your workkkkkk stopppp. 💦 #medievalistproblems
My device just autocorrected “Patrologia Latina” to “Pathological Latina” and I have a lot of feelings about that #MedievalTwitter #MedievalistProblems
Confession: it took me *way* too long to realize “First Folio” didn’t refer to the opening page of some important manuscript. #medievaltwitter #medievalistproblems #bookhistory #separatedbyacommonlanguage
I wish I had a few more lifetimes so I cd learn like 50 more languages to research like all the things #medievaltwitter #medievalistproblems
Croxton Play of the Sacrament = Crouton Play of the Sacrament #dyac #kzoo2017 #medievalistproblems #saladdrama #medievaltwitter
Best #Kzoo2017 autocorrects so far: Sangren> Sangria; Fetzer> Fetter. & Anglo-Saxon Studies abbrv =ASS #medievaltwitter #medievalistproblems
Learning LOTS at #MAA2017 (delib NOT attending Brit/Eng sessions only). Now wishing I knew, like, SEVEN more languages #medievalistproblems
Ha my device keeps changing #medieval to MEDIAEVAL. Not sure if I should correct the correction. #dyac #medievaltwitter #medievalistproblems
Is it just me or are any of you medievalists getting a lot of weird #Tolkien spam these days? #medievaltwitter #medievalistproblems
Finding that doc from 1526 that suddenly changes your whole conversation about 1539 be like 😯😦😳😕😬😗🤔 #medievalistproblems #whatisachaptereven
After reading 古文書 for so long I've gotten used to reading medieval names, but modern ones are somehow still a mystery. #medievalistproblems
It's comforting that medieval land rant collectors were as bad at math as I am. Cannot figure out how he got this sum #medievalistproblems
Too many brilliantly enticing CFPs for #Kzoo2017 and the deadline is loooooming #medievaltwitter #medievalistproblems
Also her scarf charmingly appears to be patterned in quadratic notation #periodsandwaves #medievalistproblems
