As a professor of it, I once had to describe — in a single sentence — where authority originates in journalism.
Goes like this:
"I'm there, you're not, let me tell you about it."
In times of war it applies most www.youtube.com/watch?v=O7e3...

Rock carvings from Foum Chenna, Morocco. Prehistoric engravings showing cattle and other animals in the Draa Valley, evidence that this area was once much greener and inhabited by pastoral communities thousands of years ago.

Apropos of nothing, wouldn’t you all agree that many job titles could be improved substantially by taking a few pages from history?

One of my Cambridge on-the-spot watercolour drawings from nearly 30 years ago. This was done from the riverside board walk that leads to Quayside. I don't sketch in town any more - too crowded plus lack of stamina!

I have produced quite a few paintings and drawings of Green Street in Cambridge over the years. Here's a watercolour and ink sketch showing the western end as it goes into Trinity Street. Not sure if I still have this one.

More of yesterday’s coyotes. Bonus red winged blackbird tweets in the background.

Every anti-vaxxer I encounter seems to love weird unregulated supplements. They hate Big Pharma but they love Little Pharma, Big Pharma’s younger sibling who grew up without any adult supervision.

This view across the River Cam by the lock gates hasn't changed much since I painted this watercolour on the spot 30 years ago. I later produced a small oil using this as a sketch and I posted that on here recently.

The entire Democratic strategy debate — "moderate" or move left? fight or compromise? — is based on a misreading of data. Voters don't think Dems are too progressive; they think Dems are weak. The actual math on what to do about this isn't even close!

Very true, thank you!
To those of you who have read and enjoyed any of my three books, the reason they wound up in your hands is that in 2004, Ann Godoff, the editing and publishing giant who founded Penguin Press, took a chance on me. She died yesterday at 76. I owe her more than I can say. She changed my life. >

Taylor Driggers gives a very discerning assessment of my essay in reviewing the Reid/Vaccaro/Yandell Queer Tolkien anthology in Journal of Tolkien Research. Here is the entire review scholar.valpo.edu/journaloftolki…
I think there is about 30 times more academic work on Bob Dylan than on Dylan Thomas. It’s interesting as obviously Thomas was once considered the more literary figure..

I’m calling it. Literary studies is the best because we do everything. Often badly, yes, but we do it or value it or use it. Always already interdisciplinary. I am not taking questions.
