Hug A Medievalist Day 2016

by JONATHAN HSY


It’s HERE!

It’s International Hug A Medievalist Day!

Since 2011, this holiday has offered people a chance to express their love and affection for medievalists by, well, hugging them. Or if you’re a medievalist, hug yourself!

HUG OFTEN, HUG RESPONSIBLY!






P.S. Remember that MORE festivities will ensue tomorrow (on Whan That Aprille Day)!
