Uh oh... "We left your parcel in bocca al lupo! Crepi!"
"We tried to deliver but your parcel got spat out over the New Jersey turnpike, like in the film Being John Malkovich."

I'm here seeking refuge from the other place, a dying sun in its red giant stage consuming all that was once good. I'm a newly retrained content designer, seeking refuge from another dying sun, UK academia.
