@booksandbbq @Pickled_bis If you don't mind me asking, did you remark on this student's, et al, use of "novel" and what was their reply?

[intl'bot @Intlbot_]

@booksandbbq @Pickled_bis Yale University press is rage-baiting hence why the logic is a little mysterious, perhaps. If you are intelligent enough to be reading this stuff, you tend to know the diff b/w a novel & a history. I don't see "novel" being used anywhere other than twtr

@verdur_in No, I've been returning for updates about the state of this evolving letter. In this case, content is ceasing to matter, in some ways. Never written twenty of a thing before.

Funny that Exeter has been caressing notions of itself as a flagship for years, and now it’s a flagship within the Russell group for targeted assassination of the humanities; 85% of the cuts are aimed at my faculty

@pourfairelevide Makes me wonder what role editors play, especially in this case

@LegoLas44941816 Kierkegaard says the modern, bureaucratic mind is defined by comedy. No one likes to take responsibility. I think I agree with him.

@pictorangelicvs The brilliance of these subdued colors!

@LegoLas44941816 This is one of those things that is hard to be unequivocally on any side of: workers vs "the people". What *is* collective life based on here? Keen to know what anyone else thinks on this

@LegoLas44941816 2-3 days of decadent eating a month, preferably spaced apart. The more active you are the higher your maintenance calories

@LegoLas44941816 Developing a new fixation: lowering incidents of glucose spikes. This includes walking as lowest intensity of exercise (esp. aftermeals), counting calories according to calculation of how many cals needed to maintain current weight and limiting sugar and carbs.

@LegoLas44941816 Bad record deal/oppressive record label. Her music has been frustrated for a long time but also she's apparently been working on Masochism for a long time

@ezkl7_3 What exactly is he talking about here? I recently read Michael Clune's 'Addiction is the Disease of Desire' which may of interest to you.

The strange days of early modernism.
This is "Parade" (1917) - a theatrical event with music by Erik Satie, scenario by Jean Cocteau and costumes & sets by Pablo Picasso.
