- Acephalous blegs for "explicit complaints and criticisms of, or warnings/admonitions against, the use of archaisms in Latin writing (classical, late antique, medieval)."
- Anthromama has a post about Parzival in schools.

- The Heroic Age has an update with all sorts of CfPs and whatnot.
- Heroic Dreams has images of a Wizard's Tower diorama, and a post on early 2oth century fantasy.
- Eileen Joy has finished the program for the Southeast Medieval Association conference. I'm not going this year, but it's a great conference -- maybe my favorite of that size. If you get a chance, go.
- Also at In the Middle is a bleg for Chaucer e-sources, and also a request for resources in defense of medieval studies. I'm saddened to see schools fallen so low that such a defense is needed. This probably deserves its own post later when I have a chance.

- Medieval Material Culture Blog has a links page on coining.

- The Naked Philologist, in her role as the internet's most naked philologist, has risque jokes about Archbishop Wulfstan I, Eric Bloodaxe, and King Edmund.

- Old Norse News has a post about Viking Society sponsored sessions at the big conferences.
- Senchus tells us what little we know about two Pictish princesses.

- Michael Drout offers an excerpt of his review of Alaric Hall's Elves in Anglo-Saxon England: Matters of Belief, Health, Gender and Identity. The upshot? It "is a book that should be read by all medievalists."
- Magistra et Mater has a post about the connections between being a gossip and a historian.
