- Gotta post something beautiful against the aftertaste. It's Thulsa Doom, fools!
- This damaging nonsense was exhibited at Bonn as well. Utterly frustrating to see institutions just giving up.
- Ich mag nicht mehr. Frauen „sichtbar“ machen kann ich mit meiner Forschung, welchen Mehrwert hat denn jetzt hier bitte die KI? Die recycelt doch eh nur. Faschistische Technologie im Einsatz gegen systemische Probleme die durch white supremacy geschaffen wurden. www.bmftr.bund.de/SharedDocs/D...
- All my sessions have been accepted for the #IMC2026. 😊 'The Reckoning of Time in Medieval Scandinavia' with Dr Adrián Rodríguez Avila, and a double 'Envisioning the Times: Writing the Past and Shaping the Future in 13th-Century Norway' with Mary O'Connor! #medievalsky #oldnorse

- Deep fried memes sind so 2018!
- I am a massive fan of the dictionary
- There's still time for some last-minute abstracts! Deadline Friday 19 Sep! 🤗
- Hi everyone! @imc-leeds.bsky.social 2025 was a wonderful experience for me -- so I'd love to do it again! Here is a Call for Papers from Mary O'Connor and me, entitled Envisioning The Times: Writing the Past and Shaping the Future in Thirteenth-Century Norway. #medievalsky #imc2026 #oldnorse

- Shockingly, I do! Why do I never have access to anything I need?
- But wait, there's more! Here is another Call for Papers for @imc-leeds.bsky.social 2026, this time together with my friend Adrián Rodríguez Avila. We invite papers on 'The Reckoning of Time in Medieval Scandinavia'. Please share both these calls freely! #medievalsky #imc2026 #oldnorse

- als jemand der bei den game studies nur von außen zuschaut glaube ich, dass es ist sehr wichtig ist, erstmal den Streit zwischen ludology und narratology nachzuzeichnen 🤡

- Interessanter Thread. Dieses ansprochene Problem wird noch verschärft, indem Prüfungen in Form von Hausarbeiten oft andere Kompetenzen abfragen als die im Seminar vermittelten. Keine Schreibübung vorher + kein Feedback nachher, aber das Schreiben selbst macht einen wesentlichen Teil der Note aus.

- Ah, a textbook example of the orphan-crushing machine
- What a deeply strange exhibition at my home uni @unibonn.bsky.social. The goal is to show 'pictures that were unfortunately never taken' of female scientists (and scholars, one might add) of Bonn. These pictures are AI-generated. bilderinstitut.de/untaken-pict...

View full threadMoreover, I don't see the ethical problems of generative AI addressed anywhere. Was this Midjourney model trained on illegally and/or unethically acquired data?
- There's some additional irony in the fact that one of the women celebrated is Margarete Woltner, founder of Bonn's Department of Slavic Studies, which was unceremoniously shut down in 2012.
- However, it's not like we don't know what these women looked like: there are actual pictures of them. The AI-generated version of them, displacing their actual faces, gives them a doll-like appearance in some cases: Amalie Kretzer is made noticeably slimmer, with larger eyes and dramatic eye shadow.

- Hi! It's from Wendy Belcher, Writing Your Article in 12 Weeks. I just started working with it and it's life-changing stuff!!
- @stadtwerkebonn.bsky.social Hi! Warum kommt denn am Bonner Hbf ohne Erklärung mehrmals in Folge kein Flughafenbus - was ist da los?

- Danke für die Aufklärung!
- Apardjón vol. 3 is out, and it's available through open access! My review of Sophie Fendel's fantastic 'Physiologus- und Bestiarienrezeption in Nordeuropa' is in it. 🤗
- Apardjón Journal for Scandinavian Studies is pleased to present its THIRD volume. This volume contains two articles and a note, and is accompanied by five book reviews. We would like to thank all of our authors for contributing to this volume. t.co/se9xXWQn1z

- Very happy to be attending my first @imc-leeds.bsky.social! I'll be presenting a paper on the Old Norwegian King's Mirror and co-organising a panel on 'Latin in Medieval Scandinavia' together with Adrián Rodríguez Avila. #medievalsky #imc2025

- Skelette auf dem Cover sind auf jeden Fall ein guter Vibe
- Bluesky academics, let's get to know each other! Quote this & tell me: 1) a project you are working on & 2) an odd idea/theory you aren't working on but keep thinking about. 1) PhD on the Old Norse King's Mirror 2) some medieval volcanoes transcending space but not time & others time but not space

- Even in Europe this was common practice before they were replaced with equal hours in the Middle Ages. Obviously a strong tradition to return to!

- 'Developing' suggeriert Bewegung und Potential, 'noch jung' (aus den anderen Vorschlägen) für mich aber auch Unreife und wenig Inhalt. Da finde ich 'wachsend' und 'dynamisch' besser, auch wenn das nach PR jargon klingt.

- Call for Papers for the Video Game Cultures conference 2024 (this year in Birmingham ) - Topic: other, others, othered, othering, otherness, and beyond. Feel free to share this, dear #gamestudies bubble. Deadline is April 30. videogamecultures.org/2024-cfp/
- Topics include other, others, othering, otherness, and others
- During the pandemic I picked up a tiny bit of coding, but I never got around to finishing anything. This morning I made a clone of Bill Gates's 1981 game donkey.bas and I'm very proud of it. Pong or Breakout is next, and then maybe River Raid? gawaingames.itch.io/cone-collider
