weirdly and somewhat unexpectedly, the most moving moment for me each time I've published a book (one monograph, one forthcoming translation) is when it gets assigned an ISBN ?

Like, all my favorite books have ISBNs!! What do you *mean* I get one too!?!

Finding myself in a constant cycle of being energized by my teaching and my wonderful students, yet exhausted by the news and general state of the world is... taking a lot out of me, it must be said!

You're telling me there are only 8 works tagged for Middlemarch on AO3? EIGHT?!

idk what it says about me that I fully expected to find AUs where Dorothea finally gets to go to grad school (at NYU) and Will Ladislaw is a bisexual wife guy from Brooklyn who's teaching himself to play the guitar
