Extremely active Sun from 1190 to 1220 in the Medieval Period - intercomparison of historical records and tree-ring carbon-14: #SpaceWeather: oist.jp/news-center/news/2026/ - combining carbon-14 measurements taken at the highest level of precision with historical literature lays a new foundation for studying unpredictable and hazardous solar proton events.

Yes, I was one of the very few folks that DIDN'T cosplay at this year's Renfair. Spent entirely too much money but it was great to be back, showing my kid some medieval fun & eating sticky toffee pudding & drinking mead after more than 25yrs though!

On a recent trip to Italy, my @… app provedt to be far superior to the Google maps app, especially in ancient medieval cities like Venice where the streets are narrow and mobile reception patchy.
functional.cafe/@arianvp/11629
arianvp@functional.cafe - Google Maps also stopped showing connections that involve walks longer than 500 meters.   It'll just be like "no its impossible to reach the other end of Berlin in half an hour by public transport. You need to change 6 times". Because it refuses to let me cross a bridge to another busstation because US brained people dont believe in legs.

Medieval ship discovered off Copenhagen may be the world’s largest cog - Medievalists.net
A medieval cargo ship of extraordinary size has been found in the waters off Copenhagen. Built around 1410, Svælget 2 is being called the world’s largest cog, and its remarkably preserved remains are revealing new details about medieval shipbuilding and Northern European trade networks.

Congratulations to YDS Professor Volker Leppin, who is receiving an honorary degree from United Lutheran Seminary on May 23! Hard to imagine a more worthy recipient given his biography of Martin Luther ("Martin Luther: A Late Medieval Life") and his essays on Luther and mysticism, not to mention the fact he is a pastor in the ELCA.

The islanders were taking part in an annual masked celebration called
Mid-Lent, or “Mi-Carême” in French,
visiting houses, bars and community centers with the goal of not being recognized.
A tradition rooted in medieval France,
it survives today in a handful of French-speaking corners of Canada.
They include a few small islands in the middle of the St. Lawrence River, like L’Isle-aux-Coudres in Quebec, which is accessible from the mainland only by ferry.

Halfway Through Lent, a Small Quebec Island Celebrates With Masks and Jigs
Few islanders still observe Lent, but they cling to a tradition once seen as defying the all-powerful Roman Catholic Church.

Earwigs are among those animals that suffer from a kind of reputational inertia: once an idea lodges itself in cultural memory, it is hard to dislodge, even when it is wrong. The name carries a superstition - the medieval belief that these insects crawl into human ears. There is no evidence for this, and never has been. Earwigs are no more interested in ears than they are in theology or municipal planning.
Biologically, earwigs belong to the order Dermaptera, a name derived from Greek …
