I have escaped from domestic violence. The domestic violence was not just contained to the home, but also involved weaponization of systems. I hope to do a fuller accounting of what happened one day to bring light to this problem. For now, here is my "Thank You" note to Joe Biden & the VAWA.

Still think about my Latin professor who 5 weeks into the semester realized that the class didn’t know English grammar well enough for him to be able to explain Latin, so the class suddenly became a simultaneous English grammar & Latin class

If you have celiac/coeliac disease or are gluten sensitive, see if you can find these Walker’s gluten free shortbread cookies/biscuits at your local grocery store. Holy crap, do these taste wonderful—not like sadness at all! And no tapioca/cassava flour!

Bookpeople!
Does anyone know where I can buy uncut printed sheets to teach basic imposition and format (rather than the DIY sheets I typically print off on 8.5x11)? The Rare Book School's bibliographic format kits appear to be out of stock.
