  Screw your favorite book, which was the first that upset you? A Wrinkle in Time was mine. The possessed baby scared the everloving shit out of me. My babysitter had to call my mom to come home early because I was hysterical.

Happy Mother’s Day! May it be a joyous way to honor those doing that work. May there be comfort and solace for folks if today is complicated.

This illegally issued cedola, or receipt of a betting slip, for the papal #conclave of 21-24 April 1585, was undersigned by the Medici ambassador to Rome (👀), who wagered 100 gold scudi on the victory of Cardinal Alessandro Farnese. (+ a blank version for all your #papalelection betting needs ...)

  Wow, there’s a lot going on in this StanfordUL binding fragment—once the pastedown & spine strengthener for a Book of Hours(?) belonging to Charles Bruce, Earl of Ailesbury. It’s comprised of a leaf from the Great Bible (different from EEBO version) & a medieval fragment I’m working on. Fab, eh?

  Has a woman ever been Pope? Really short answer: no. But that didn't stop the legend of "Pope Joan" for persisting for centuries. Here's the story of the woman who was(n't) Pope in the Middle Ages.

  The radical right-wing legislature in Utah passed a bill that banned public schools and buildings from flying pride flags. But they are still allowed to fly city flags. So check out Salt Lake City’s newly adopted city flags.

Oh goody, it goes conveniently with the whole systemic defunding of academia to “break” it so that it can be privatized, sold off for parts, and restricted back to a handful of wealthy white dudes. Yay. I see the handbook hasn’t changed.

  “Massive numbers of students are going to emerge from university with degrees, and into the workforce, who are essentially illiterate…Both in the literal sense and in the sense of being historically illiterate and having no knowledge of their own culture, much less anyone else’s.”

We (Lynne, Kat & Tansy) just finished recording, so the episode may be a bit late going out tomorrow. However! It’s a great episode, well worth the wait and off-air we came up with a new game to play on a future Extra! ^K
