Nothing will come in the way of tetka theory. After all, tenacity is part of tetka style. The book is now drafted. It contains lots of tetka wisdoms others want to suppress. It endured much and so it will also endure the long way to publication. Biće, biće!

I'm glad @ubyssey.ca has some reporting on this. Unfortunately, the article repeats a lot of the university's budgetary euphemisms. Units in the Faculty of Arts are being crushed by devastating budget cuts (called "savings targets" by the administration). Cuts affect student services and jobs.
How the federal government’s plan to sharply reduce new international study permits will affect UBC’s budget remains uncertain, according to the university.

UBC peoples: if anyone is interested in free books, DM me and we can arrange a time for you to browse. Because of space issues I have to downsize my office library. Primarily 18th-21st century literature, philosophy, literary history/theory. Much of it in German but also in English and French.
