So many books, so little time.

@DEFAULTpoetry @houseoflabrys Not my area & not sure who might be able to help. Am sure there are plenty of people in @theIAAS & @OfficialBAAS who will have a suggestion.

@EilidhABHall @Anna_Girling @drlaurarattray It was such a great experience all round! Glad to see this photo again.

Nope. Once there was a game that started out as a satire on landlords, then was taken from its female inventor and turned into a celebration of capitalism. Feminism is not a marketing tool.

“The Oxford English Dictionary traces singular they back to 1375, where it appears in the medieval romance William and the Werewolf.” https://t.co/MfbprZTr4P

If our brains continue to stumble over singular “they,” that’s on us, not grammar.

Huzzah! Great news, Vicky!

@OpinionLine96 Cork needs to have a proper urban forestry plan; @corkcitycouncil does plant 200 new trees every year but it seems the older ones are becoming more &more diseased &hence being taken down;debate on a tree planting plan is limited on Council floor at present, which needs to change

@SnowMolloy @dmcampbellwsu Such a good novel! Yezierska is wildly undervalued as a novelist, this is a fascinating text.

[Lego Grad Student @legogradstudent]

I truly hope that 2019 brings you health, happiness, and at least one lucky draw of favorable reviewers for your manuscript.

Happy New Year's Eve, with a fine quote from An Táin today!

The choicest of food was brought to them and a feast was served to them and soon they were noisy and drunken.

@alsa3idy Could I be their postcolonial conscience made manifest as a currently intractable political problem of their own country’s history that is just too complex to face up to? Or she could just be a bit thick

@Metlandia @SlateCultFest @thehighsign @juliaturner @junethomas I think June said "Northern Ireland and Wales," which is why I was surprised to hear Yeats mentioned. Thanks for the clarification from this dedicated Irish listener!

[The Irish Border @BorderIrish]

You utter bastards
