A joyous event tonight: A celebration (in many timezones) of a new festschrift in honour of the wonderful Prof Elizabeth A R Brown with lots of friends Peggy is a mentor & a hero to so many of us, and it was an honour to raise a glass to her tonight #peggyfest #Peggyfestschrift

We’re 2mins away from the Thomas Becket conference launch w ~400 delegates & ~40 speakers from across the world. I’m wearing my Becket badges & drinking lots of coffee in my Becket mug. All fingers crossed & prayers to the patron saints of Zoom🤞🙏 #becketconference @No1Cathedral

@cjg701 @CamHistory @CambridgeUP @Kings_College Congratulations! Looks amazing!

A blessing of an ancient oak in the forest of Bercé. This will be one of thousands of trees – all over 2 centuries old and measuring over 1 meter in diameter – used to reconstruct the spire of Notre-Dame de Paris ❤️ #notredame #gothic #paris #cathedral

It’s not possible to unite with people who want to overthrow our government. No unity without accountability. Pass it on.

@fionacreynolds Gorgeous!

Icy morning

Since it appears GOP leaders need a reminder: There is no “healing” from this without accountability. And there is no “unity” with white supremacists. You know the President’s state has devolved dangerously. If you’re too weak to do anything about it, you’re too weak to serve.

News that is so good you could hardly let yourself imagine it could be possible. GEORGIA!!!!

@Sonja_Drimmer Agreed!

Starting a year of research leave! Question of the day for medievalist: any recommendations for newer bibliography on Rutebeuf?

Tomorrow evening, we must remain calm and patient as we wait for election workers to do their job safely. After Georgians do our part by casting our ballots, it is time to trust the process and the people making our democracy work. #gapol
