And the childcare crisis really hurts all of us, regardless of whether we have kids. Because when a parent is struggling with childcare, their colleagues may end up having to take on more work to fill in the gaps. Essentially, care unites us all.

In case you wondered, we're still here. We are a caring account and❤️our followers. If you don't share our values, we simply won't engage. We'll continue to post here about our upcoming Medieval Women exhibition, and our other projects. Thank you, and Happy Manuscripting! 1/2

Please stop saying we should wear masks "when appropriate." COVID surges throughout the year, and other viruses, pollution, wildfire smoke etc. are also significant health issues. It is ALWAYS appropriate to wear a mask.

Something for the weekend? Here's a medieval pig on stilts. We thank you. Harley MS 4379, f. 19v

I truly don’t understand how the search feature in Outlook can be so bad.

True. True. But it's also the upper administrators in education in cooperation with the tech bros that help cause this. We can't let them off the hook as being part of the problem for this labor.

You know if you set up a study EXACTLY LIKE someone else and go as far as QUOTING ALL THE EXACT BACKGROUND literature and use an EXACT DISCLAIMER of limitations, you may want to actually cite that original study. Or shit, maybe that's just me. WTF do I know about research.

Give someone a fisshe and thei eate for a daye. Teache someone to fisshe and thei kan eate for their lyfe. Charge an inordinate amounte of money for fisshinge equipment that doth gather personal information & go obsolete everye 4 yeares and you are a 21st centurye tech companye.

I don’t know which academics need to hear this, but it’s okay to have a mid job that you’re just mid at. Most of us went to mid schools and got mid training in teaching, service, and research. We weren’t all traumatized by the PhD. We’re just normal guys doing a normal job.

it has been so long since this happened....I guess I was due. The entire tenure review letter gone.....I wanna cry but don't have time for that now. Big sigh.

I’m gonna rest this weekend Me on Monday morning:

I wonder how closely people have been reading Turing’s machine intelligence paper. Because if this premise is the standard by which we measure computer “intelligence” then “winning” the imitation means losing concern for truth. It is a game of fakery, and rigged to suit the AI.

Generative A.I. ys just one verye visible example of a widespreade attempt to destroye expertise, creativitye, diversitye of styles, distinct voyces, passionate exploracioun, and long-honed craft yn the name of profit-based instrumentalization of lyfe

As an editor, I am never not surprised when I get a review that says you need to read X, Y, and Z, and X, Y, and Z have NOTHING at all to do with the manuscript. Or person A, B, C have talked about these issues, and alas, they have not. Sigh.
