This was so much fun! Such a brilliant conference and so many kind people. Thank you for the invitation, @rebpaf.bsky.social!

📖 Day2 of our #REBPAFConference opens with @renskehoff.bsky.social’s keynote on hybridity & the many makers of early books, followed by panels on preservation, publishing networks, devotional books, Dutch romance, textual plurality & natural knowledge. Plus a lunchtime visit to 'Ink & Innovation'!

Hey #MedievalSky Hivemind! Hive me your minds! I'm looking for medieval people/manuscripts referring to compilations as a bouquet of flowers or the stars in the sky or w/e (like the Liber Floridus was compiled "so faithful honeybees may suck the sweetness of the celestial juice"). Any thoughts?

Reviewing lactation rooms: currently at @univie.ac.at. 7/10. 'Family room' with comfortable sofa. Door can be locked from the inside. No tap or fridge, but otherwise a nice space. #ParentInAcademia #Breastfeeding

Reviewing lactation rooms at @utrechtuniversity.bsky.social, part 8: Vening Meineszgebouw 2. 9/10! Another room in the same building, much better! Tap, fridge, comfortable chair and door can be locked. Hurray! #ParentInAcademia #Breastfeeding

Pumping on my way to Vienna: reviewing 'lactation room' at @schiphol.bsky.social. Was directed to this 'baby care room'. Well. There's a changing table, but that doesn't really help with the pumping, does it... No chair. 0/10 #breastfeeding

There is a better space, but in another terminal and only accessible for people on intercontinental flights. I'm extra dissapointed, because I checked with the @schiphol.bsky.social customer service and they said these baby care rooms would offer a 'calm place to feed the baby or pump'...

Fellow (book)historians, a question! I am working on a late 17th century French manuscript, but it seems to have a plate edge surrounding the image. How would that work? All 200+ images seem to have one? #bookhistory

Ook mijn oma was gespecialiseerd in religie. Ze studeerde al in de jaren '50 theologie en werkte tot haar emiritaat als predikant en docent godsdienst. "Ik geloof verder niet dat het [predikantschap] om specifieke vrouwelijke of mannelijke eigenschappen gaat," stelt ze hier (1979). #vrouwinhetambt

Het COA heeft een terrein gekocht in Bilthoven waar zij een asielzoekerscentrum voor 300 plaatsen wil vestigen tbv de spreidingswet. Het omgevingsproces moet nog starten, er gaat helaas veel desinformatie over rond. Op www.debilt.nl/opvangvluchtelingen vind je steeds betrouwbare info. #azc

Reviewing lactation rooms at @utrechtuniversity.bsky.social, part 7: Vening Meineszgebouw. 6/10. Has a tap, fridge, basic chair. Can't be locked from the inside and also functions as storage room. What should I draw on the white board? #ParentInAcademia #Breastfeeding

Reviewing lactation rooms at @utrechtuniversity.bsky.social, part 6: Johanna Hudig building, room 2.18. 8/10, basic but alright. Chair, tap, fridge, door can be locked from the inside. Bit of a search to find the room, though, and also used as place to store beer. #ParentInAcademia #Breastfeeding

There is a paper story included into this famous German painting of 1830s from Carl Spitzweg. You may know the common interpretation of the Poor Poet (German: Der arme Poet): Attention to the material misery of most artists and their work! A 🧵 for #skystorians, fans of #paperhistory, and more. 📚
