@CariHovanec Thank you so much!! 😊

[Dr Izzy Jenkinson @izzy_jenkinson]

Using today's #ModWrite to ask for suggestions! Do any modernists know of any research about modernist representations of wolves?

[Dr Izzy Jenkinson @izzy_jenkinson]

@Jess_H_Anderson You put the word 'proverbial' in front of the word 'cake'

[Dr Izzy Jenkinson @izzy_jenkinson]

For today's #modwrite I'm re-reading Lawrence's Women in Love again in advance of my next thesis chapter and feeling pretty thankful that every now and again doing a PhD means I literally have to spend working days lounging around and enjoying old novels

[Dr Izzy Jenkinson @izzy_jenkinson]

@Jess_H_Anderson Hmmmm, maybe you could still call it an epigraph but just clarify that it is "the closing epigraph"?

[Dr Izzy Jenkinson @izzy_jenkinson]

@Jess_H_Anderson Could you refer to it as an addendum? 🤔

After more than six years @UniversityLeeds, and two and a half of those as a PGR, I finally have one of those nice professional pics overlooking the Brotherton Library ❤

Supervisor email: please don't be disheartened by the comments on your chapter draft - they exist because the chapter has promise!

Me, reading the comments:

@KateSpowage Thank you Kate!! I was on OED but will definitely be checking out Etymonline now - thanks for the recommendation!

[Dr Izzy Jenkinson @izzy_jenkinson]

Hellooo, I'm trying to find some work written on the (presumably) shared origin of intimate (as in intimacy) and intimate (as in the verb, to intimate; intimation). Are their any English Language scholars who can direct me to anything related to this? Thanks!

Our thanks goes to Justin A. Joyce for citing last year's directors - @izzy_jenkinson, @josephogenchi, and @c__mcdonald - in his recent article for @JBRJournal. Congratulations to all three on their sterling work with Baldwin during the 20/21 academic year

[Dr Izzy Jenkinson @izzy_jenkinson]

I haven't drawn anything in literal years but last night I drew this picture of a plant at a drink and draw @The_Tetley and not only am I not mightily ashamed of it, I'm actually quite proud 🥰
