My gift to all my friends, cat-lovers or not, going back to their offices and classrooms. A feline survival guide for the neo-liberal university. Plus it is clever and light-hearted and will elicit a smile on this Labour Day weekend. Stay safe out there. #medievalsky

The Montreal Massacre. December 6 1989. He separated the women from the men because he hated feminists. Then he killed 14 women. We remember their names.

Where I have been working this week. The PIMS library shares space with the Kelly Library at St Mike’s. #medievalsky if you haven’t used this library you are missing a treasure trove of the Middle Ages.

A brilliant, sunny evening. Balcony time with a good book and Prosecco, of course. Is a post-eclipse sun brighter? It certainly seems so.

It’s cocktail time on the balcony, again! already!! Too early to bring out the furniture and carpets. Not even gin in the house. But it’s sunny and warm and I’m sitting out and wearing sunglasses so that seems worth posting. It’s only March 4th.

The last of my Covid projects: third volume of essays on premodern maculinities, this one co-edited with my dear friend and colleague Konrad Eisenbichler. The volume traces the transition from traditional premodern masculinities into something recognizably different. Thanks to everyone!#medievalsky

A glorious autumn morning. Cool and crisp. The sun shining on the statue of St Michael while I walk through the archway to the Pontifical Institute of Mediaeval Studies. What could be better?!
