Distractable historian of medieval & early modern Europe. Current shiny things include: all things Icelandic; the demonic; popular religion; taxonomies. Currently working on a translation & study of Icelandic bishop, Oddur Einarsson's Descriptio Islandiae.

- I'm doing a thing in Iceland next summer. I'm helping to run the Svartarkot program in Bárðardalur. The program looks at the daemonic in Icelandic history. It will have lectures, discussions and site visits in the highlands. See Iceland in a way most tourists never do! svartarkot.is/upcoming-cou...

- Today is the 50th anniversary of the Iceland Women’s Strike. On October 24, 1975, 90% of the country’s women withdrew their paid and unpaid labour. It led directly to the implementation of gender equality legislation in 1976 and paved the way for Iceland to elect Vigdis Finnbogadottir as president.

- Yeah, he doesn't fancy himself a "king", right, Trumpies?
- Scoop: Trump has started demolishing the White House's East Wing facade to build his ballroom. The president had claimed construction of the $250 million building wouldn’t ‘interfere’ with the existing White House structure. /W @ddiamond.bsky.social wapo.st/4hqBNiU
- Fascinating thread about baseball in Toronto in the 19th and early 20th centuries!
- Reposted by David WinterI think we really should stop using antifa and just fully say anti-fascist and get them saying they are against anti fascism. Using antifa is giving them some distance and I genuinely think some of their base don’t even know that’s what it stands for.
