My icebreaker for my class is ready to go.
A presentation slide asking students to introduce themselves in small groups. One prompt is to share what they call a single small, round bread unit.

The best kind of writing feedback is excitement from your friends! Thanks to @mckeagns.bsky.social for reading my thesis' tithes chapter.

Thank you both! I had thought they were separate texts but a stray footnote in a secondary source made me doubt and panic. It's very reassuring to know that they're definitely distinct texts!

Admittedly it is a footnote explaining that it is beyond the scope of my thesis to figure out how either text influenced the writing of Wulfstan and Ælfric, but I just want to be absolutely certain that they are, in fact, two texts and not one by two names.

Can anyone tell me if the Institutio Canonicorum (Rule of Aachen (Aix-la-Chapelle)) of 816 is definitely not the same thing as the Statuta (First Capitulary) of Gerbald of Liège? I'm two-ish weeks out from my thesis submission and do not have the time to go on a deep-dive for a footnote.

This is useful. Negative parallelisms and rule of three are clear markers for me. (Not once, but repeatedly throughout a short piece of writing.)

Wikipedia editors trying to fend off the onslaught of AI crap have crowdsourced some telltale signs of LLM-generated writing; it might be handy for editors and proofreaders generally. Thanks to @ellenrykers.com for pointing me to it. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikiped...

I have in the past chosen not to use a source because I only had access to an ebook with no page numbers. I don't get why any publisher would do that. It makes no sense to me.

CFP for @imc-leeds.bsky.social for July 2026: "Old English in the Long Nineteenth Century". Please share widely! Deadline for abstracts 1 September 2025. #IMC2026
Call for papers for the 2026 Leeds IMC for "Old English in the Long 19th Century". Deadline 1 Sept. 2025. Description reads: Throughout the long 19th c., various advances were made in the study of Old English, ranging from the 1st edition of Beowulf (1815) the outlining of OE metre by Eduard Sievers, as well as discoveries of such OE texts as the Vercelli Book, the Épinal-Erfurt Glossary and the Brussels Cross. When approaching OE in the 21st c., it is impossible to deny the impact of 19th-c. scholarship. When we refer to titles of such OE poems as The Wanderer, The Seafarer and The Wife’s Lament, we are using titles bestowed on these texts by 19th-c. scholars. Several standard editions of OE texts were made in the 19th c. or heavily rely on earlier, 19th-c. editions. Lexicographical tools with a relevance for OE, including Bosworth and Toller’s An Anglo-Saxon Dictionary, A Thesaurus of Old English and the Oxford English Dictionary, also have their roots firmly in 19th-c. philological practices and how OE is taught still relies on paradigms and set texts from the 19th c. Thus, when studying OE, we often have to engage with material on multiple temporal levels, considering not just our own concepts of the early medieval period but also how that period was understood by 19th-c. scholars. Paper proposals are welcome from scholars from all academic backgrounds. Possible topics include but are not limited to: - Discoveries of OE texts - Disputes about linguistic or literary interpretations of OE - Disciplinary developments in the field of OE studies - Personal, religious, political and ideological motivations for the study of OE - Biographical contributions about scholars of OE - Scholarly correspondence on OE matters - Editing and printing of OE texts - Teaching of OE Please send an abstract (300 words) to Rachel A. Fletcher (r.a.fletcher@hum.leidenuniv.nl), Ellen Gallimore (ellen.gallimore@york.ac.uk) and Thijs Porck (m.h.porck@hum.leidenuniv.nl).

Use Y1 to find your study habits, because studying at uni will be different to 6th form. Are you a morning person? Do you need quiet? Do handwritten notes help you remember better? If you can establish what works best in Y1 then you can hit the ground running for Y2 when your results count for more.

Call for Papers @imc-leeds.bsky.social 2026 ‼️ The 'Loyalty in the Medieval World' network welcomes papers which explore the intersections between the concept of ‘loyalty’ and the conference theme of ‘temporalities’, c.500-1500! Get in touch by 15 September
The ‘Loyalty in the Medieval World’ network welcomes proposals which explore the intersections between the concept of ‘loyalty’ and the IMC 2026 theme of ‘temporalities’. Was there a shift in how the concept of loyalty was used and perceived by people across the Middle Ages? To what extent, if at all, were bonds of loyalty an archaic predecessor to the coercive potential of a centralising medieval ‘state’? How did the language (e.g. treue, fides, leal), theories, and practices of loyalty change or stay the same in the medieval period? What can the study of loyalty do for the historian of medieval political society? Submissions could reflect on: • Emotional frameworks of loyalty • Political frameworks of loyalty • Ethical and legal frameworks of loyalty • The theory and practice of loyal behaviour • Loyalty and identity • Loyalty and power • Horizontal loyalties and solidarities • The material culture of loyalty • Contested and/or multiple loyalties • Disloyalty , such as women, children, exiles, and migrants. Please send a paper title, affiliation, and abstract of up to 150 words to Eleanor Bailey ejbailey98@outlook.com, Katy Bennett katy.bennett@york.ac.uk, AND Jenny McHugh j.mchugh@lancaster.ac.uk. Deadline 15th September.
