Angebote für Studierende, "die noch nicht so gern prompten, weil sie lieber selbst formulieren und denken wollen."

In addition to how deeply wrong I believe this to be, it makes clear how complex our fight for the future will be.

We all need to REALLY understand why this is wrong and dangerous. And this is not only about people with dementia.

Be wary of anyone claiming to teach or discuss history without bias. History is, and always has been, an exercise in interpretation. Treating it like an exact science is, at best, ignorant—and at worst, outright deceitful.

It’s #WomensHistoryMonth, so let’s celebrate Dulcia, a nun/scribe who signed Laon, Municipal Library MS 423 in the first half of the eighth century. IMHO, this manuscript is *chefs kiss*. Time for some #nuntastic #BreakfastPaleography!

St. Mildred, continued! Her feast day was yesterday, but I had more manuscripts than I could get to. Let's look at BL Cotton Vespasian B XX, an early-12th-c. dossier of materials relating to St. Augustine's Abbey, Canterbury, including texts by Goscelin of St. Bertin about Mildred. 🧵

"Rags to Riches" and "Self-Made Man" stories have long been self-fashioning tools for the ambitious. Historical examples of Rags-to-Riches stories real and fake show us how to cut through the propaganda!
