Me reading Dworkin:
Photo of page 13 of Ronald Dworkin's article, A New Philosophy for International Law - two passages are underlined in orange: "That is much better than simply taking the settled practices as brute facts or seeking some mythical social-fact rule of recognition they all supposedly exemplify." - it says "non" in orange handwriting to its left, "We should return to what I take to be a golden age of the subject, seventeenth-century European politics" - it says "Ron, non!" in orange handwriting to its left.

Is this spam? I feel like it might be since they call me a doctor which I'm not but I don't want to be rude and not reply if it isn't
Screenshot of email: Dear Dr Etkin, I’m pleased to introduce myself as the new commissioning editor on the Law list here at Routledge, covering Nicola Sharpe’s maternity leave for the next year. I was unable to attend ESIL in Berlin this year due to childcare issues, but I notice that you gave a talk entitled Diagnosis and Remedy? Reconstructing Consent. I’d be very keen to hear more about this talk and how it intersects with your current research interests. I’d be very interested to hear whether you have any writing projects in mind in this or any related areas in the near future? I look forward to hearing from you,

Came here to say this, and it can sometimes get the message across so easily, please see below (I picked not the funniest but the only one that didn't need any translation)

Magnifique ! On est sur les mêmes couleurs un peu - moi récemment j’ai crocheté une énorme écharpe (j’ai exagéré sans m’en rendre compte pour pas gâcher la laine) et là j’ai reçu le nécessaire pour faire un sac cabas en coton
selfie de başak avec des lunettes de soleil, on voit un peu son front et ses cheveux mais le reste de son visage est couvert par une écharpe rose fluo verte et violette crochetée Écharpe en laine crochetée rose verte violette autour de mon cou - prise en photo au miroir et ça arrive jusqu'à mes pieds

Reminds me of John Singer Sargent's Gertrude Vernon, Lady Agnew of Lochnaw - the kind of look that pierces right through you

I sometimes see it (but def not in this photo)
Closeup of Charlotte Gainsbourg softly smiling and looking beyond the camera, turned to her left. She’s wearing a black shirt and her hair is, well, bedhead chic as usual. Blue back ground on which you can somewhat distinguish a blurry white Berlinale bear.

“We’ll always have Zwolle” Henning, 2024
Selfie Başak (left) and Henning (right) in black coats. Henning also has a black beanie and Başak is wearing a scarf (purple green yellow and white). They’re in front of a what Başak calls a “caca-coloured” canal, land and autumn trees in the distance. There’s a sign that says Zwolle by the trees (the word is divided into two lines from the middle). The first L on the sign is tilted to the left and it looks a little sad even though it’s on purpose because it’s like the Hollywood sign meets tiny Dutch town.

I see you and I raise
Bright pink and turquoise “patik” (type of knitted thick sock, similar to booties for babies but for all ages) on feet over black socks, on dark wooden floors. You can blue jeans over the legs on the lower side and a tiny bit of a carpet on the right lower corner.

I learned how to crochet making this one sock and it drove me so insane that I stopped for two years - so anyone who can make a sock and continue must be included whether fancy or not
