Trying to teach right now is a sisyphean endeavor, because of shit like this.
I just had a Grammarly ad inflicted on me where they said they could add sources to your student papers.

Devastating news, I left my Classics water bottle on the bus
I’m very upset about it 😭😭😭
I got too worried about missing my stop and realised when I was in Boots I didn’t have it in my hand so the bus was long gone

I’ll be at the Edinburgh International Book Festival for two writing workshops, but I have a large gap between the two so I’ll be floating around. Feel free to say hi if you’re there and you see me!

I was at a PhD Writing Retreat through my university for the past three days, and I have finished one chapter and nearly finished another.
Over the past three days, I have written 20,055 words.
I am going to the cinema all day tomorrow and doing nothing else.

Trying to clear your inbox before you actually let yourself work on anything you need or want to has given me a glimpse into how the gods would punish my hubris

Goal today: 10k words for thesis
And I’m trying to get it done ASAP and done well because my supervisor for the capstone said she’d like to see it published so I wanna get it nice & polished so I can also get back to polishing up my 3 chapters I need done incredibly soon for my thesis
So anyway this is pretty much how I’m feeling

Hey y’all send good vibes my sister’s way (and if you’re the prayin type or wanna call on Artemis and Eileithyia, we won’t say no to that, either). She’s having her first child and all the extra help she can get (even spiritually) would be appreciated 🫶🏻

I’m trying to finish up a paper to the final module in my Postgraduate Certificate in Academic Practice & I’m already bumping into the “oh no I’m going to run out of words” problem 🫠
Especially because I’m writing a full reflection for it & have to make sure I have at least 5 sources (I have more)
