fun fact this pulled medical textbook with AI came from Springer a company that went international thanks to Robert Maxwell, father of Ghislaine Maxwell, and also father of the entire deeply abusive scientific publishing industry that exists today

On Thursday, I’m giving a talk for our study association’s “Research Night”. I’m using the occasion to finally give shape to my argument about apocalypse and queerness in Tove Jansson’s Moomin books, and what this means for how we conceptualise queer temporalities. Really looking forward to this!

A writer very dear to my heart. Lolly Willowes is such a wonderful novel (though my favourite Warner novel is The Corner That Held Them).

Changed my mind. I'm now giving 100 of these away instead. I wonder if that might be possible, by next week, if this gets enough shares and hits the algorithm?

It's not well known that the congregation of the First African Baptist Church in Richmond donated approximately $40 towards Irish Famine Relief in 1847. Around 2,000 members of the congregation were enslaved, and only 150 were free. #twitterarchive

Today marks the 44th anniversary of the single most sanity-warping print error ever committed to print. The gnawing, eldritch, Lovecraftian horror of this Peterborough Standard society page from April 18, 1980. Theremony at tremony at the liremony indeed.

Guys, I love all of you, but the answer to RFK, Jr. is not that autistic adults hold jobs, pay taxes, and get laid, it's that everyone deserves to live even if they can't work, pay taxes, or get laid.

I don’t think I can in good faith recommend fellowships in the US right now, but I had such a good time as a GHI fellow at the Horner Library (way back in 2018). www.ghi-dc.org/programs/fel...

Please support your local bookshop. They're the ones who support writers and writing. As a writer on a small-but-mighty independent press, the word-of-mouth goodwill at local bookshops has made my writing career possible.

Completely missed this year's edition! Jumping aboard for day 16: A book with different modes of transport. @mariankeyes.bsky.social's Anybody Out There?—one of the Walsh Family novels—features different forms of transportation—in fact, the tragic premise of the book depends on one of them. #RIWC25

A thread in which I try to show some of the harmful practical effects on the quality of its analysis of the Supreme Court's appalling and delegitimating decision to exclude all trans voices from a judgment with profound effects on trans people's lives.

Academia sometimes feels uniquely designed to make people who are very good at lots of things feel that they are never good enough at any of them. (I applied for a promotion and didn’t get it.)

Fun fact: today, the Dutch Senate confirmed the government’s utterly insane efforts to scupper our higher education system. Be careful what you wish for.

Here in NL a number of mainstream parties also tried to stymie the far right by out-fascisting them and now those fuckers are in government. Make of that what you will.
