RC selected "the dead groundhog" by Kirsten Bussière as the honourable mention for the 2023 Brebner Prize, saying: "I was thrilled by the visceral nature and its descriptions of roadkill and what happens to every body if left for dead out in the sun for too long... Well done!"

@EmilyWebz I would be interested if a paper on climate and disease in fiction would be relevant.

@cfmceroz1 Very interesting! Perhaps it’s because of the fact that Coca-Cola is often used as a symbol of the USA. Early ad campaigns presented it as being an "all-American" product. Alternatively, maybe McCarthy is a Coca-Cola fan?

@evvanbuc The entire collection Love After the End is great, so I’m sure you could pick a couple. A couple favourites of mine are "History of the New World" by Adam Garnet Jones and "Abacus" by Nathan Alder.

@Electrostani My program at the university of ottawa has a language requirement. It’s a translation exam, which is usually French to English unless another language is more suited to the student’s dissertation. The exam can be done more than once and the school offers free French courses.

My students: "How do I know when I need a comma?"

Me, an expert: "When you feel a comma in your heart."

@fleischchurch 100% in the future I want a dog named Broccoli and a dog named Artichoke (Brock and Artie for short). Benji escaped what my family thinks are terrible names because he was a rescue, so I guess he’s just a lucky pup (we are lucky too).
