You probably like/follow, like, a cat, or a plant, or a politician who is essentially a plant -- why not like/follow @poculiludiques, A THEATRE COMPANY THAT SPECIALIZES IN HISTORICALLY INFORMED EARLY DRAMA, which is essentially TIME TRAVEL ART? We've got big stuff coming up...

@prof_gabriele @HarryMcCarthy @Lollardfish @kyle_a_thomas would you help us share the news? With @tersergi at the helm, it’s gonna be an epic day.
Come play with us in 2025. This is going to be such a monumental day for #Medieval history and #theatre buffs. #medievaltwitter

Some are calling for Juneteenth to be a national holiday. How about we go further & pass healthcare & living wages for all, a fully restored Voting Rights Act & reparations, etc. Please don’t just ask for a holiday. Let’s make it a holy day of repentance & reconstruction.

I'm proud to be (remotely) co-organizing this panel with new PhD candidate Jenna McKellips -- medievalists, especially drama folks, take note, repost, and submit! earlyenglishdrama.wordpress.…
