I'm reading a book on medieval relic thefts and relic trade, and it is hilariously entertaining.

I keep thinking how fun these stories would be as a #DnD adventure... With epic bluff checks for selling the acquired relics as genuine.
And convincing people the saint spoke to you in a dream and wanted to be stolen. 😄 👼

The IPCC summary report just came out and this is the image everyone is quoting.

To me it's a pretty amazing representation of time, and I have a lot of thoughts about it, but I'm curious what it looks like to historians who aren't immersed in climate stuff.

It's nearly #ValentinesDay! The so-called “Heart Book" (c.1550) is a collection of 83 Danish love ballads. It is the oldest known Danish manuscript of its kind, and an early example of the heart being used to signify romantic love.
