Hi!

my thanks, Joanna

quick question if you have a sec - is there a best job board for UK academic positions? (American expat over here fishing for the next move) thank you!

Typed on my trusty Lettera 22

that's about subject, right? (which suits the sentence)

Amen.

Chicago Over Everything

the meep-meep guys, costumed, adult-sized, strolling down a path

dress for the job you want

just keep trying

a little late to the party on this one, but as opposed to the workshop model (which is often largely about revision, i.e. taking feedback and applying/ignoring it) a larger CW course might focus more on the generative side of things; I imagine the daily themes course is somewhat like this

If you want to stop funding everything Amazon does and stands for, you’ve come to the right place.

We’re Bookshop.org, an ethical alternative for buying books online. Every single purchase financially supports independent bookstores, allowing them to continue serving their communities.

Here’s the thing:

Independent bookstores aren’t *just* bookstores. They are pillars of their communities and supporting them means supporting all of the incredible work they do beyond selling books.

They’re invaluable. Am*zon is not.

Keep the faith.

The United States never has enough money to keep people alive at home but always has enough money to kill people overseas.

I too am in a glass box of emotion Ron, I too.
