Aiko says don’t work too hard today. Happy #caturday!

Bram Stoker wrote an effusive and wonderful letter of love and admiration to Walt Whitman, adding delightful context to his depiction of sensitive and emotional male relationships in Dracula: www.themarginalian.org/2019/01/09/b...

Last day of teaching #Dickens’ Christmas texts (and the Christmas season)! Ready to talk about the significance of the harvest and the seasonal shifts captured in #Irish / #Gaeilge words for months of the year. I love my job 💕

Striving to work as cozily as Frog here (and wondering if he has ever known the woes of lesson planning)

Make today count! Aiko will be watching.

I swore I’d only mark the crucial pages to come back to for quotes, but this is a gem. Time to get to work! (If the cat ever lets me up 💕)

Hi, BlueSky! I’m a PhD candidate working with 19th century (and beyond!) Irish and British folklore and literature. I’m into the Gothic, fairy tales, archives, and marginalized spiritual belief systems, and I’m working on a ghost stories project. Nice to meet you!

About to enter the last full week of holding class for my very first English course. Planning to make the most of it! 💕
