Librarian, historian, bibliophile, researcher, part-time medieval Spaniard, cat lady. Introvirtuous: I'm here to help, but I'd rather not be.
Just FYI, it looks like the library-related stuff here is of some interest, so I am splitting off a new Bluesky account just for library/AI/tech stuff (which I am much more likely to post about than medievalism, really). If you want to follow, that baby account is @infoartisan.bsky.social

Also, I'm super sorry to everyone who got whiplash from the shift in posts here. I'll still do some library stuff, but you're gonna see a lot more of my weird medieval hobby. Blame Zuck.
