Briefly excited about a reference to a manuscript pertaining to Saint Thomas Cantilupe in the TV series Midwinter of the Spirit (2015), but massively disappointed to see that it's a mock-up that isn't even trying to look like an actual C13 or early-C14 manuscript.

I'm reading about an allegedly incorrupt arm relic, and my brain (unprompted) is struggling to visualize the shoulder end of it. Detached sinew (which, if incorrupt, must surely be gory)? Miraculously covered over with flesh? #MedievalistProblems

I thought my troubles with minims were over after I stopped archival work. But no. Age has struck again and now as a copy editor I’m squinting at any word with a “uniu” combination, or even just “in.” Did an “m” sneak in there? Two “n”s in a trenchcoat?

One time in grad school I was working on paleography all day and saw a Wendy's ad that said their new salad had 11 varieties of greens. I was like "Two isn't that much for a mixed green salad..."
