I have seen a lot of cursed stuff in my time in academia but this is among the *most* cursed.
Grammarly is generating miniature LLMs based on academic work so that users can have their writing ‘reviewed’ by experts like David Abulafia, who died less than two months ago.
It’s not something I’ve ever taught, but one of my senior colleagues told me once “Die halbe Birne” was kind of a show stopper in his lectures. The story is sexually explicit and one could say obscene. The language is quite visual, and I can imagine students bursting in laughter while reading this.
ok #medievalsky what's the funnest medieval source? like the one that students really respond to, or just the one that you absolutely delight in talking about?
for me it's Marie de France's LAIS
In der NCU in Torun liegt zumindest ein Teil der Bibliothek ihres Mannes Albrecht und der „Silberbibliothek“, sowie Bücher die ein Geschenk an seine zweite Frau Anna waren. Auch Dorotheas Gebetbuch liegt dort. Nur halbwegs aktuelle Forschungsliteratur zu dem Thema konnte ich bisher nicht finden.
Die „Untersuchungen zum Gebetbüchlein der Herzogin Dorothea von Preußen“ Iselin Gundermann/1966 sind mit schon über den Weg gelaufen.
Liebe Schwarmintelligenz auf #medievalsky, #histsky, #earlymodernsky, #booksky kennt sich hier jemand mit Herzogin Dorothea von Preußen (1504-1547) aus und weiß zufällig, ob es irgendwelche Forschung zu ihr in Bezug auf (eigenen) Bücher(-besitz), eine Bibliothek oder Ähnliches gibt?
Sounds fun for #bookhistory.
"The book without a name. If you don't want to buy it, that's fine." #bookhistory folks, this was a marketing thing and actually published in 1720 Germany.
What I look like after studying ~500 year old books for four business days at @britishlibrary.bsky.social 😅
A typical decorating ornament from a page of an eighteenth century newspaper made in Zurich, Switzerland. The ornament features three heads, 2 smiling men and a woman, made of symbols.
I see text emoji's in this ornament from an eighteenth century news print. #textemoji #newshistory
Front entrance of the British library with grey sky in the background and empty street in the foreground.
What a great pleasure to spend four days at this wonderful place of knowledge and learning. Looking at ~500 year old books is always an exciting thing to do. #booklove #librariesaremyfavouriteplace

“Any person who keeps working is not a failure. They may not be great writers, but if they apply the old-fashioned virtues of hard, constant labour, they’ll eventually make some kind of career for themselves as writers.”
— Ray Bradbury

Folks into #Latin, I'm stuggling to understand a usage of the verb "colliduntur," which others seem to take as meaning "composed" (3rd pl pres pass ind--I get all that), even though I don't understand how they get that meaning of the verb. More details down thread. #MedievalSky #ClassicsSky

The pronoun labeler, which was by far the most useful labeler on the site, was deleted by its creator. But thanks to @ripperoni.com there’s a new one available. I highly recommend it. It’s a great way to share your pronouns or see someone else’s pronouns at a glance.

Anders gefragt:
Welche Figur ist der größte Jammerlappen der Literatur?
CDU und SPD haben in Hessen massive Hochschulkürzungen beschlossen. Lasst uns sichtbar machen, welche Konsequenzen der Hochschulpakt 2026-2031 an den einzelnen Standorten mit sich bringt. Kommentiert gerne unter diesen Post, welche Szenarien im Raum stehen, welche Effekte und Probleme ihr seht. [🧵⬇️]
☞ ☞ ☞ the index finger is a pointing gesture to be found in manuscript and print traditions. It was used to draw the reader's attention to a certain part of a text or image. This slow-moving thread highlight a few of them:
Round loaf of dark bread with some flour on it on a cooling grid
A Fresh loaf of farmhouse bread - spelt, rye and wheat flour with some spicery
I love to bake on Sunday and start the next week with fresh bread and selfmade jam.

Look what arrived today, or at least the ebook did. This is the first encyclopedia devoted exclusively to medieval women’s writing globally,focusing on the thousand-year period between 500-1500. Entries on about 250 women writers plus longer thematic essays. You’re welcome.
The greatest joy in my life as an academic is being asked this type of question
Man gibt Faschisten keine Bühne. Was hat sich die Redaktion von #CarenMiosga dabei gedacht? Fragt die Staats- und Universitätsbibliothek Hamburg - Carl von Ossietzky.
Zwei Stangen rustikales Baguette auf einem schwarzen Abkühlgitter
Ich kann #Brot backen nur als Ausgleich zu akademischem #Schreiben empfehlen. Es ist sehr befriedigend, die Wohnung riecht angenehm nach Brot und man kann das Ergebnis am Ende essen.
Heute: Rustikales Baguette
