Happy "Microsoft trying to force CoPilot subs" day in the UK for all who celebrate. (They just pinged me my renewal notice with it carefully worded to sound like a compulsory general price increase). 1) Go to your account page 2) Hit cancel 3) Change sub back.

Out now on zimzalla: Asemics by Grzegorz Wróblewski, a collection of postcards in a white box. If you’re not familiar with the term ‘asemic’, I’d describe it as writing that isn’t writing but feels like it is.

Found an old, dusty, tattered picture stuffed behind some shelves we were tidying. It belongs to neither of us. I have read enough stories to know that neither keeping nor getting rid is a good option. Any other suggestions?

Hello academic (and related) BlueSky: do any of you have any readings on alternative citational practices? We have some examples — Glas, Argonauts, medieval marginalia, etc. — but wondered if there was an essay or similar on them which you might recommend? 🙏
