Just retired. But have continued teaching for the joy and to preserve critical inquiry, archives (material and cultural), and community support. So hard, so rewarding.

Might I join the starter pack too? I realize I had let my C19 membership lapse, but now it's restored. What a great place to be! Thank you so much.

Oughtta be a book on that. It took me how long to shed Hemingway? That was in the 70s, mind you. I thought I was a feminist.
