Forgot to take a single photo of the food (including the best turkey I’ve ever done) but hey, I know how to do a beautiful table

quote with a picture of yourself so people know who they're dealing with 💕
A shoulders-up portrait photo of a femme-presenting non-binary person. They have wavy, shoulder-length, ginger hair with bangs. They’re wearing purple glasses and a black top. They’re sitting by a tree in a park and smiling at the camera.

Very, very proud of this one - my article on disability theory and rejecting the use of the term "monstrosity" to talk about the Marvels of the East is out now:

Was not expecting Middle English to crop up in the middle of the new Zelda game 😍
Screenshot of a conversation with a character from Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. He says "This is a picture of the stone tablet that fell from the sky at Lookout Landing. I managed to decipher the inscription on it using my notes on ancient Hyrulean I had in storage at this research lab. Here's what it says. "Ones held y honore als hochmayde to kyng Rauru ond quen Sonia, thaerafter to his suster ond to princesse Zelda. Her on thaes grete stan ond twelf mo withalle make y endite min time with the roial familie. So michte heore remembraunce preserven for the sake of hem on whom oure hope raeste.""

What better for a first post than a Kzoo CFP? Seeking proposals on "manuscript manifestations" in any medium; proposals due 15 Sept!
Call for papers for the International Congress of Medieval Studies at Kalamazoo. Session title: Manuscript manifestations: post-medieval perceptions of medieval material culture. Description: Literature, art, and, more recently, film have used the invented medieval manuscript to signal, construct, or untangle a relationship to a distant past. These two sessions seek to investigate the effects of these "manuscript manifestations" appearing after the middle ages. Who writes them? How do they appear? Most importantly, how do they reimagine a medieval past, and how does that imagined past reshape understandings of the present? We welcome 15-20 minute papers from any discipline that examine post-medieval perceptions and deployments of manuscripts and material culture. Abstracts of no more than 300 words must be submitted by 15 September 2023 via the Congress portal. Questions may be directed to the session organizer Catrin Haberfield catrinh@stanford.edu.
