Today is the day! The Way By is here!!

I know I've never really asked for support. I don't have a Patreon or GoFundMe. But I am a precarious scholar working in an unstable field. If you've ever wanted to know how to support me, please support my work!

The 1746 John Rocque map of London is available in high resolution from the LOC.

Download this, and fall in love with its details.

I promise you'll be lost in it for days.

Sitting in the Zoom call of my course waiting for my students. I heard if the students don't show up within 15 Minutes I am legally allowed to leave. Is that right? 😂

Just rediscovered this all-time classic of german-Liedgut.

Funfact: From the 1880s onwards, cocaine was used as a local anaesthetic for medical examinations of the eye/operations.

Sometimes the kinds of procastination my Anxiety makes me do are quite funny.

Today i wrote an important mail first thing in the morning. What i procastinated was hitting the 'Send' button until almost the end of the day.

First task of today: Writing a friendly-but-slightly-stern mail to our student assistants because they did a sloppy job with a task and need to redo it. Really weird feeling, knowing i used to be the recipient of such mails a year ago 🤣
