I'm an education-focussed academic & Head of School, Culture & Communication, at the Uni of Melbourne. Talk to me about decolonising education, inclusive pedagogy, workload models, process mapping, and management as praxis. Views mine not my employer's.

I have an order that Q wrote in pen in the inside cover of one of them, underlying logic unknown (seems not to be the canonical chronology nor publication order).

a close up of a man 's face with the words tell me written on it Alt: Shouty man shouting TELL ME in anguish because Pavel will not tell him the secret correct Vorkosigan saga reading order. (He might be out of Star Wars, I am sorry I do not know his face. Or he might be Loki? But I don’t think so because Loki does not scream in anguish, he sets fire to things. Having said which I only really know Loki from Eight Days of Luke, so I could be wrong.)

We are, I am, you are
by cowardice or courage
the one who find our way
back to this scene
carrying a knife, a camera
a book of myths
in which
our names do not appear.

Actually I think LibraryThing might be, like, open-source and… nevermind, 40% owned by Amazon now 😒

Yeah, it’s called StoryGraph. Unfortunately I hate it but it seems to be owned by non-evil non-billionaires.

Thank you! I HAD heard about this but forgotten the name…

Thank you both! Seeing a lot of votes for this one - is it hard on the pen or…?

I like the sound of both of those, will try them out if I can find them (am in Australia) - thank you! And thanks for the warning about Carbon Black, I definitely want a low-stress ink

Drawn to the idea (no pun intended, I’m a writer not a drawer)

That is very beautiful, thank you! Matte is what I’m after, so this might be one to try, though I am also seeing a lot of love for Lamy black and quite down to the idea of basic black

Ooh I hadn’t heard of that brand, thank you! I am a new fountain pen person and this is opening up many exciting* possibilities

SHAME on everyone who has pushed and paid for this. You are not feminists. You are not allies. You KNOWINGLY work with ultra-conservative and far right organisations. SHAME on you.

Also, your daughters think you’re shitheads.

I have been in this room for five days now, mostly sleeping, and as I start to get a bit more capacity back the main thing at the front of my mind is, unexpectedly, that I am VERY WORRIED ABOUT CAROL (from Pluribus) and hope she does not feel we have abandoned her.

(I have been super careful, my partner is 77 and has some other risk factors so we are masking, vaxxing, not going to indoor events, not eating indoors, etc. But it’s a numbers game in the end!)
