Errata list in William Allen's An apologie and true declaration (1581) rather aptly amends 'vnlearned' to 'vnarmed' http://t.co/hvc2y2W4Dk

#academictwitter PLEASE HELP. College has brought forward PhD deadline by 3 weeks (due to their own error in calculation) one month ahead of deadline. Original deadline evidenced many times in writing months ago. Legitimately, what can I do?

Realising only now that my decision to write this PhD thesis may have been in response to my desire to write and produce comedy.

Alt comedy.

With a very niche audience.

It's going well.

A concise definition of editing from Edmund Tilney, Master of the Revels (1579–1610) and formidable script reader:

'only by a short report, and not otherwise, at your own perils. E. Tilney'

Why is 'Elizabethanly' not a word.

Am I just late to the party or is the confrontation between a choleric individual and a miles gloriosus, typical of late 1590s comedy, the relationship between Woody and Buzz Lightyear?
To me, Tim Allen’s voice is the voice of the miles gloriosus.

Anyone else having problems with EEBO at the moment?
Links to TCP Full Text are opening different editions to those selected, or appear to be broken. Same happens via BL's ESTC.
I need this like a hole in the head rn.

Academia, I'm begging you, no more surveys asking us to focus on how terrible and insecure everything is right now.

Lockdown optimism from Jane Barker on solitude (1688):

'Though to few Objects here we are confin'd,
Yet we have full inlargement of the Mind.
From varying Modes, which do our Lives inslave,
Lo here a full Immunity we have.'

Undoubtedly my greatest achievement of 2020

'it causeth the minde to forget sorow and griefe, it bringeth mirth, it maketh hardie, it sharpneth the wit'
'By wine health is permanēt, and strength abideth, & oldage kept away. Wine also maketh the soule merie...'

Preach, Thomas Twyne (1576)

@TraceLarkhall @PalaeoHan @Sue_Jonze Still think there's something of the gothic in there, Sue!

@TraceLarkhall @Sue_Jonze The remains of an early modern baited bear, I just know it
