The perks of a winter retreat in a small mountain city: lots of snow, lots of snow, and lots of snow.

P.S. finding a path to walk on gets increasingly harder as snow almost reaches the knees 🙈🤣

A prosperous 2026 to everyone! We ran into the olympic flame for the winter games during our new year's in Italy. I'll take that as a good sign!!!

Find yourself someone who looks at you the same way I look at my paper on Servetus. Thank you, UEA and @memrn.bsky.social for having me again this year!

Thrilled to be interviewed by the Timpul newspaper, one of the oldest running newspapers in Romania. Attached, a 19th c edition of it.

I'll be speaking about my academic journey thus far and the key to success as a foreigner in various environments.

I just watched Dracula A Love Tale and I am deeply obsessed.
This was a gorgeous film with an intoxicating story. I may never recover 🖤

It's just two words, but a personal favourite find in a medieval manuscript is this signature of Anne, a princess of Kievan Rus and Queen (Regent) of France.

Written on a 1063 charter, it reads "АНА РЪИНА" ('ana rъina' ~ 'Anne Queen'). The language is Old French, but the script is Cyrillic!

Is there some sort of thing going around those who teach Latin in universities? I keep on hearing bizarre things about them as opposed to the praises I always hear about those teaching ancient Greek... #eveningmeditations
