Sparks flew! Thanks so much to @mginotherwords.bsky.social for guiding me on the path. Happy to share this big essay ‘Stephan Batman’s Peculiar Ways & the Parkerian Scribe of Pierce the Plowman’s Crede’. Maria Giovanna pointed out that Batman’s initials are *not* in TCC R.3.14 Piers Plowman
'When we librarians can see first-hand the impact our skills and experience have on academic research [...] it’s a sort of magic.'
Me to @lawrencewarner.bsky.social, who was very happy with my reading of a MS inscription at the centre of a scholarly debate. Now waiting...😉 #dontshootthelibrarian

Every time I’ve logged into Bluesky my feed is 1) someone reposting 10 things followed by 2) every NYT piece of the last hour. I’ve unfollowed NYT but is there a way to get variety here?

I'm learning the ropes here. Can you - my respected and small number of followers- share this post so I can get some followers?
I am an academic interested in reproductive history + environmental history, museum and archive collections, animals, people, plants & planet. And, who should I follow?

Happy birthday Maureen! Just back from the pub to celebrate and read this out to her Kate . She was in great form
Maureen Duffy, poet, novelist, playwright, 90 today! She had a long relationship with Brigid Brophy and they collaborated on an exhibition of 'Heads and Boxes', which they called 'Prop Art'.
