Ha, @bclelandgt.bsky.social beat me to it. A rough week with bean counting ("what five things have you accomplished this week?") getting in the way of reading and editing. Then this beauty showed up and I am reminded I love (most of) my job. Book will enter the world (launch?) in late 2025.

Trying to watch England v Scotland (rugger) and Villa v Chelsea (football) simultaneously. Not sure if Graeme Le Saux is commenting on the football or the rugby football ("their game plan is working, almost to perfection") At least both "my" teams are in white.

Americanisms in (World) football parlance . . . " The attacking options remaining in the Gunners’ bullpen are limited, " Where, pray, is the bullpen at a football club? Thin end of the wedge, slippery slope, get off my lawn, etc. etc.

For Black History Month & the much-needed tonic of poetic beauty, I recommend checking out 'Black Nature: Four Centuries of African American Nature Poetry' (2009), an anthology edited by Dr. Camille T. Dungy & published by @ugapress.bsky.social. More info at the link: ugapress.org/book/9780820... 📚

"In the previous six minute episode of The White House <enter attention-grabbing jump scare announcement here>. Tune in again in five minutes to see what may or may not have happened." Already exhausted, embarrassed, and ennui'd. Let me know when there is something actually ready for resistance.

This is how consequential I am: Just days after Facebook loosened its monitoring and the day before *rump inauguration, I was kicked off FBook for "breaching community standards." Coincidence? I think not.

Vendor offering me a free "AI calendar" that will help schedule my "tasks, habits, meetings, and breaks." As my me old mucker Bartleby used to say. "I would prefer not to." Which is US literary-speak for "Get the fuck out of here."
