The book is out: The New Modernist Novel: Criticism and the Task of Reading, with Edinburgh University Press, https://t.co/9D5KNQ5vbL It's an academic book, written for academics and students in my field. Here’s what I’ve been doing in it... 1/🧵

It's really nice to read this review of the book from Scottie Streitfeld, whose own work on Nightwood in Modern Fiction Studies came out just before I sent in the book typescript: https://t.co/7HkqlIFweV

Alright nerds (compliment) applications for summer internships at Deep Vellum / Dalkey Archive / Open Letter begin one week from today. May 1st.

Unpaid, which we are sorry about, but open to remote, which we are proud of.

This is a heavy hitting season! Get in here!

@Craig_A_Spencer You are absolutely right, but we also need to acknowledge that some people did get injured, and that very small changes could prevent that in future. Eg I need Novavax, but Aus won't stock it. Your post is correct, all the worse for me, bc I can't access a vaccine I can tolerate.

@danallison Counterpoint: we are less able now to use our metaphorical brain muscles to hold onto previous contexts, bc our brains have been damaged by various anthropogenic toxins. So social media is having a moment, bc these days it suits our biology. But we can train our plastic brains.

@nicknorwitz Exposure to electromagnetic radiation is missing here. This exposure can cause the voltage-gated calcium ion channels to malfunction, opening the cell walls. Likely to cause a riot, etc, but the WHO still says it doesn't happen, while the research says differently

[Elizabeth Pender @erpender]

@IPeterHope Constant exposure to environmental toxins such as indoor moulds and electromagnetic radiation

Close reading, via reading readers reading. Looking forward to this!

@becimay Our choices are already made for us, our questions are there waiting for us to step into them, a roomy love

@DavidJoffe64 @VicGovDH @NSWHealth Thank you for replying! I've been writing to the TGA. I'll write to Mark Butler. I'm really keen for this vaccine!

[Elizabeth Pender @erpender]

@VicGovDH I could update my #COVID vax if I could get #Novavax! But alas, it's not available. Maybe like others who can't tolerate another mRNA booster, I'm at higher risk of developing #LongCovid. I really want to get vaccinated, but the govt won't allow it. @NSWHealth @DavidJoffe64

Sing to me, O Muse, of the man of so much rizz
And zero chill, fuckboying around the Aegean,
After he lit up the high rises of Troy.
Many opps he fought, fr, many rounds popped off,
Down bad on the ocean,
beefing to save himself and bring his true ones home.
