@united delayed our first flight by 7 hours, forced us to pay for a hotel in our layover city, and then charged us again to check our bag to our destination in the morning
@united Uh-huh. I’ll certainly fill this out, but waiting a week to be able to apply for a refund for a service I lost due to your absurd delay is exactly sludge. You make money off of people not wanting to deal.
this reminds me of a point roland barthes makes in “novels and children” about women writers & specifically about elle magazine’s coverage of them
(mythologies, 1957, trans. richard howard)

I do hope everyone understands that what's happening at WVU is both an extreme version of what's happening at almost all public universities, and a trial balloon for doing it elsewhere
I'd like to give away 5 copies of the just-released paperback of In and Out of Sight: Modernist Writing and the Photographic Unseen to grads/precarious academics! I'll cover postage. If you're keen reply with a v. short description of your research so I can get to know your work!
