It's Friday again, the sun is shining, and I am in dire need of some coffee (which I will make as soon as this blogpost is done). So - Friday links for you!
First of all, there's a nice post by Juliet McKenna about embroidery, and what the "richly embroidered wall-hangings" in a fantasy novel (or in a medieval source, of course) actually mean in terms of time spent (and thus in terms of wealth).
Twitter has changed its display style from chronological to an algorithm a bit similar to the Facebook one - you are now getting tweets first in line that the algo thinks you'd be more interested in. Here's a longer post about it - but if you just want to go back to how Twitter was before, go into the "settings" menu and uncheck the appropriate box.
Internet memes change our language - for instance, turning nouns into verbs (let me google that for you) has become quite common. JSTOR Daily has an article about this phenomenon here.
The British Library has an Anglo-Saxon manuscript digitisation project running, and the latest addition is the 11th-12th century MS Cotton Vespasian A XIV, which contains the letter book of Archbishop Wulfstan.
Medieval Histories has a short article about 13th-century knitted mittens from Estonia (where else?).
And that's it for this week. Have a sunny weekend!
