On my hardest days in academia, I’m reminded of the power of representation & the impact of my presence. For many Black girls, I am the 1st Black woman professor they’ve ever had, so when they see me, they don’t just see what I’ve done but what THEY can do. They are my “why”(3/3)

Elden Ring fans - if you'd like a nice concise lore summary to catch up before Shadow of the Erdtree. I have a nice 35 Hour Lore series broken down into three parts. Part 1 linked below!

actual serious discourse point here: the popular image of medieval inquisition as a way of punishing anyone who's just a bit weird does a disservice to the agency of convicted heretics
@WeirdMedieval (people dramatically overestimate how easy it is to be 'accidentally' executed for heresy in the middle ages, you really had to be of a strong conviction in your heretical belief. now, the early modern period is a different question entirely 👀)
