Shout out to all the weirdos who spent their childhood randomly reading dictionaries & other reference books for fun
As a result of this thread, I did an image search for “golden book encyclopedia” (which we didn’t have/use) and some of those images are a bit yikes
I also really loved reading the Rhyming Dictionary.
I hadn’t expected the #TeamDictionary vs. #TeamEncyclopedia rivalry to emerge here but it’s amusing
It would appear that #TeamAlmanac is now a contender
I’m just realizing I haven’t been inside a public library, or a used book store, since the pandemic began. I miss them (the books, and maybe the people)
Sorry I should have made a shout out to #TeamAtlas too my bad
OK fellow booknerds, this totally took off!

I don’t have a podcast but I did just publish a book (50% off using code ARC2150 at checkout: tinyurl.com/antiracist-med…)

Seriously though, support diverse bookstores (Queer, BIPOC, & more)!

Hey tweeps I thought I'd share with you this weird, vivid, non-allegorical academic anxiety dream I had last night #AcademicTwitter 🧵
I had this dream that we were back to in-person teaching but the University had randomly decided the faculty would be grouped into mandatory 5-person teaching pods.

Each pod was an interdisciplinary team that would teach some Big Idea course (e.g., Mind, World, Life, etc.)
So I was assigned to a pod with 4 other faculty from totally random disparate departments/programs. None of us had ever met before.

OK folks a few more thoughts for #MedievalTwitter on that NYT article as #Kzoo2019 approaches. [THREAD] #LitPOC #NotAMonk
1/ I’m glad that the #NotAMonk convos are pointing out problems with the NYT article's opening quote (Richard Utz, prominent white male medievalist, “speaking for” the field as if it were “apolitical” and as if monks were apolitical — in the past or present).
2/ But such convos are still uneven in naming the harms of such framing: this kind of statement is part of a continued pattern of sidelining marginalized medievalists (esp. BIPOC) and casting such ppl/allies as “inappropriately” political or “imposing” on an innocent field.
