I have been reading, over and over, these two paragraphs from @EmilyRCWilson’s introduction to her Iliad. Can’t get over them, can’t move on.

It's been a long week, so I've got bed on my sleepy mind. Oh, to sleep on a bed surrounded by these patchworked bed hangings! This set of bed hangings, which combine over 6,400 pieces of British and Indian cotton, dates to 1730-50 and is at the @V_and_A

@katalves18c Last semester (first consistently f2f) no attendance policy and near-perfect attendance— students were so happy to be back and so engaged. This semester, no attendance policy and I’m at 50% on a good day.

I love this-- I bookmark *so much* but perhaps don't return to check as often as I should. Other twitter academia tips? late late adopter and never really feel competent

[Bethany Jarmul @BethanyJarmul]

A helpful habit on Twitter—whenever I see a call for subs from a lit mag or contest, or a piece posted that I want to read, I bookmark it. Then when I have time, I go through my bookmarks and submit, explore, read each one—removing the completed ones as I go.

Here's how long I have been teaching: none of the projecters worked yesterday and I was not even phased.

[Hunter knits tiny nonsense @HunterHammersen]

Any chance you have some extra yarn/needles/supplies you want send to a good home? Because I have an idea...

The good folks of MainTransNet are setting up a queer youth craft club, and they could use some supplies!
