After a long but fun weekend of festive lights with the in-laws and brunch with some of my favourite scholars, I'm back at my desk and ready to read!

Finally watched ‘Satan Wants You’ today, a documentary about ‘Michelle Remembers’ and the origin of the Satanic Panic. Mind-blowing, brilliantly crafted, and fascinating to see so many academics featured whose work I’ve spent the last few months immersed in. Already can’t wait to watch it again.

this was the first weird medieval guy to ever go viral 🥰🥰
