hey, medievalists (and other interested folk)

[coraa]

I already follow Got Medieval?, which is worth it just for Marginalia Monday... but what other medieval studies-related blogs are good? Anyone have any recs?

Are you interested in blogs that share interesting things (like Got Medieval) or things that discuss pedagogy / research / professionalization?

[coraa]

Both!

Although I have no interest in joining academia myself, so blogs strictly about the job market and etc. are of less interest to me.

hmm. I shouldn't have asked the question that way because there isn't anything quite like Got Medieval. :) Things I read that are not completely academy-internal by posting prevalence: Emily Thornbury, Blogenspiel, Wormtalk and Slugspeak (Michael Drout). Xoom covers a variety of topics and is run by a medievalist. Quod She is also interesting, generally teaching-focused.

ETA I feel I should mention In the Middle, a group blog, but since I've basically stopped skimming its entries as they float across my RSS feed, I'd forgotten about it....

Some would say that I have left academia, but I was there, which probably bears upon interest/tolerance levels for certain kinds of topics. :)

The several medievalists I know have seen this (and most love it), so you probably have, too -- and it's not really about medieval studies per se, but:
