@TheSchwatterer Okay let me know if/when! :-)

[Kit Toda @bitofkit]

@TheSchwatterer I'm replying like a month later but was this recorded/published in French or English? If latter, I have a friend (budding video game script writer) who would be interested!

I don't know why this person I don't even know would call me out like this.

@TheSchwatterer Merci! Oui, payant :-) Et pardon, je voulais dire que normalement l'article sera prêt lundi ! Mais je voudrais qu'il soit relu dès que possible une fois que c'est prêt. Je préférerais quelqu'un expérimenté.e en français académique. (Le domaine est littérature britannique.)

Today, while teaching Aestheticism and The Picture of Dorian Gray, my students and I concluded that Oscar Wilde would have had an ✨amazing✨ insta account

Accidentally said to a student in a master's supervision...
Me: The hardest bit is starting. But once you've started, continuing is also hard.
Student: 😐
Me: ...I should be a motivational speaker.

Thank you to @IntlTSEliotSoc for the mini conference. I think the cat liked it too? Sadly not the most practical of bookmarks, however.

Big thank you to Adrienne Janus and Juliana Lopoukhine of SEM and SEW for having me for their panel @congressaes2021. I really enjoyed hearing the other papers today and giving my paper on #TSEliot, re-creation and The Dry Salvages #modwrite

@ShakspereFrance Thank you for welcoming this mostly modernist interloper!

[Kit Toda @bitofkit]

Gave a paper on the verse drama of T.S.Eliot and C19 playwright Thomas Lovell Beddoes aka "prince of morticians" and "The Last Elizabethan" with a @ShakspereFrance panel at the #SAES congrès. No.of skeletons in presentation is positively correlated to success, right? ☠️
