Alors, postes-section-11.info dit le wiki sera sur le site de la @saesfrance.org, mais le site même (à saesfrance.org/carriere/act...) donne toujours l'adresse en haut. Odyssée à 51 offres de poste #section11 à ce moment. Le wiki n'existe plus ou ??? Quelqu'un peut m'expliquer svp ?

Beau Brummell's grave is less than a 10 minute walk from my office in Caen, France. Figured others interested in this long #18thC #regency #19thC dandy should know more, so I did a deeper-than-expected dive into his life and final resting place for the #PPBkA blog: ppbka.hypotheses.org/1101

Very stoked to listen to Kathryn Hughes talk about #19thc cats and her book Catland with the National Archives, how they change from #c18 representations that look like weasels (very true)

TFW you have 150 book boxes. And aren't entirely sure those will be enough...

Turns out packing up your whole life to move across the ocean requires LOTS of boxes. And time. #psa

I realized I never finished this Fair Jilt thread, but the story gets SO BANANAS including: *Attempted assassinations *Botched beheadings where the guy SURVIVED *Banishments *Lawsuits AND IS BASED ON REAL LIFE EVENTS, they found all kinds of receipts in Dutch archives. #Aphraconference

Exciting news! I have an 18-month postdoc starting this September. I'll be helping launch the #c19th Punch's Pocket Book Archive digital project at Université Caen, France. Very excited to join the team, plus move back to France. Now I have my visa appointment, so feels official official.

Listen, told a student last quarter that your 20s are for fucking around, doing the fun thing when you can. Got an incredible email from them with the phrase "And I want to fuck around!" Probably is a once in a lifetime thing, huh? Just so glad my advice helped them figure out what's up next.
