My main lesson from this semester is I will never study 16th and 18th Britain/Ireland at the same time ever again. Or if I do, I will do it with people who are fucking normal.

I guess the same goes for Ancient Rome.

If folks are wondering about data on the use of the term "Anglo-Saxon" and why to stop using it, check out David Wilton's article "What Do We Mean by Anglo-Saxon?: Pre-Conquest to Present." I'm not sure if it's open-access or not because I'm currently on my university wifi, but it's on Project MUSE which makes me think it might be.

awww I got my first rage comment on the post about not using the term "Anglo-Saxon" anymore!

The responses to my other post about syllabus are pretty comprehensive, but I'm going to tag stuff addressing the term "Anglo-Saxon" as "not AS" so that (1) it's easier for me to find on my blog and (2) if/when more stuff gets published it can get added to the other resources easily

aslkdfj I'm looking for that Beowulf syllabus that someone posted where they read something challenging the use of "Anglo-Saxon" in the first week but I can't find it ANYWHERE. Did they just use the Mary Rambaran-Olm + Erik Wade Smithsonian article?

As another Skimmer Box Surprise, I pulled these two from in there (second one with help bc I almost didn't notice it). Noticed one as I was gonna reach in to pull out the skimmer box, but then got alarmed and extended an olive branch (small twig) for assistance
