Life has been an absolutely horrendous shit-show lately, but today I found out that I got a job as a Literature Tutor at Royal Holloway International Study Centre. 👩‍🏫📑 I'll be moving soon, so if you know any available places near Egham, DM me 💜

The deadline for the joint BAMS/ MSA conference is fast approaching! It's exactly one month away on December 1, 2025. Please note it's the same deadline for panels, papers, roundtables, and workshop/ seminar proposals. You can propose in-person or online panels/ roundtables (but not hybrids).
Believe it or not, it's already time to think about MSA 2026 in Loughborough, UK. The conference will meet July 1-4, and proposals for panels, papers, roundtables, workshops, and seminars is December 1. Please note this MUCH earlier deadline. The CFP is here: www.moderniststudies.org/conference/M...

Something’s Gotta Give has always been my favourite film, my comfort laugh and cry. Diane Keaton has given us so many lovable characters. Rest is peace Queen.
