Just Jones and Idle. I was more excited about Idle, but he was smartly engaged with talking to other people and not making himself available, so I could only awkwardly say something to Jones.

It seemed tailor-made for me, a teenager who was into Monty Python and whose first favorite book had been Wind in the Willows, but in fact I did not really like it! But I was very excited to be briefly in the same room as Eric Idle.

I awkwardly told Terry Jones that I was a big fan, so it lives on in my mind as a time I was very embarrassed.

Saying this as someone who hated Mists of Avalon as a teen but enjoyed the (deeply bad even before you know about them) books of Piers Anthony and David Eddings.

It’s definitely going to be the case that someone you like and didn’t clock is going to be an abuser even if you disliked this one.

I was fascinated! It’s also funny how Scott is such a shibboleth in the English speaking world at that time and now most people are not very familiar with his works. Like, Anne of Green Gables can glancingly refer to something from his books and everyone around her just gets it.

(Copy edit! I accidentally made my role sound more grandiose than it was.)

I got to edit part of a book on 19th-century Black American authors and one of the sections I was working on was letters between Frederick Douglass and William Wells Brown, and Brown had just visited Scott’s house and was geeking out over it and saying they should make it more interactive.

The end of Waverly is weirdly like this. “Let’s turn Scotland into a Scotland-themed tourist destination!”

I need to reread it. I remember loving it and then it felt like it fit well with The Sparrow (Mary Doria Russell) when I read and loved that some years later. (I think I like speculative Catholicism as a genre.)

I also have this experience and I wonder if it’s because I only check in on Instagram every one to three months

My oldest is a mathy person and hangs out with a lot of art/math folks and they are all delightful.

It exists! I was reading an article about non-US tech options that would be less AI-heavy and it was on the list.

I love it so much. I’ll never be there, but I appreciate it. My friend who was double majoring in math and English (and prepping for her math PhD) said that she thinks studying poetry helped her with math.

So many. I’m tired. I’ve used Firefox for ages but it recently hasn’t been working as well for me so I looked up alternatives.

When I’ve talked to people who do really advanced math, they’ve basically crossed back into the humanities through high-level abstraction and do not sound like these freaks at all because it’s not simply the aesthetic of competence for them.
