@TeamAufidius You're an adult! That means you can buy *two* pirate swords so that you can invite somebody to spar with you.

@emjlynajsh @fairban_c Dunno if I'll be able to pull anything together for this, but I love the concept!

[Jennifer Forsyth @JennQForsyth]

@bjirish I've got the same feeling. I wish it were more common in our field!

[Jennifer Forsyth @JennQForsyth]

@SAAupdates I think I'd rather miss my own seminar than the NextGenPlen any given year--the new scholarship is always insightful, intriguing, and challenging. It gives me more inspiration than anything else!

[Jennifer Forsyth @JennQForsyth]

@ISASaxonists I was thinking earlier today that I really ought to just delete my X account, but this post is a brilliant counter-argument....

@rossbiology 🤣

Am I the only one who instinctively thinks "Oh, cool!" when you see an ad for a print dress, only to be disappointed when you see the image and realize that they don't mean that it's covered with words? (I don't know why my brain does this--I DO know about print fabric....)

@rossbiology I'm so excited--I get fresh rhubarb in my CSA box today! I don't know that I'm happy with my rhubarb crisp recipe, though. Mind sharing yours?

[Jennifer Forsyth @JennQForsyth]

@ChrisVVarren @roaringgirle Is it wrong that this is the coolest thing I've seen this week?

[Jennifer Forsyth @JennQForsyth]

@eoin_price If I were in charge of the world, this would be my standard: "Is it good writing? Then go with it."

[Jennifer Forsyth @JennQForsyth]

@AngelineMMorris Same here! I'm nervous, but I'm looking forward to meeting you, though!

[Jennifer Forsyth @JennQForsyth]

@rossbiology Plus, we could collaborate since I teach the senses in history, including the science of the time! 😀

@hbflyte Don't forget the therapy dog that you can pet one day during midterms and one day during finals.

A student shared this with me yesterday--it's a wood-burning stove from the old farmhouse she lives in. So many questions....

[Jennifer Forsyth @JennQForsyth]

@bjirish Thank you so much--I will!

[Jennifer Forsyth @JennQForsyth]

@bjirish Follow-up: today was the day we read your "Envy in EM England" article, and a student could barely wait until the end of class before coming up to tell me how much she loved the article and how she's going to use some material from it in her next essay.

[Jennifer Forsyth @JennQForsyth]

@rossbiology @DamonLisch Whoops--I guess I inadvertently looped around to the original post you were replying to. (It all comes back to writing classes? :-) )

[Jennifer Forsyth @JennQForsyth]

@rossbiology @DamonLisch When talking about writing with students, I often hear them say that the purpose of evidence is to *prove* their thesis, but I try to convince them that the purpose is to *support* their thesis. (If you're able to prove it, it's a question of fact and thus can't be a thesis.)

[Jennifer Forsyth @JennQForsyth]

@LauraPiggott12 I'm not in art or in publishing--just a random person whose feed your tweet happened to pop up in--but for what it's worth, this image stopped me in my tracks, so I hope you are able to stick with it until things start coming together for you!

[Jennifer Forsyth @JennQForsyth]

@16thCenturyGirl So, what would critical mass be for doing this as a read-along? Three scholars? :-)
