One startling moment at #ICCS23 was when I approached an academic whose work I'd read in undergrad and mentioned to her that I'd done a little bit of work on a story she'd written about. She looked at me oddly for a moment and then said, "Do you... make videos?" and that's how I found out YouTube was suggesting my #medieval retelling videos to people in the field 😳 They've been private recently due to harassment, but I'm beginning to put them back up now.

As ought to be abundantly clear, I have no idea how to use Mastodon and am still getting my head around the platform. But hello! Hoping to find others working in #CelticStudies and #Medieval literature to chat to on here, since the loss of Twitter-based academic community is a real bummer for me as an independent scholar. If we met at #ICCS23 last week, please come and say hello :)
