Another shot of the door at St Edward’s, Stow-on-the-wold.
A friend of mine who was TA’ing for an AmLit course found a copy of Moby Dick a student had left behind. It had only one marginal annotation, around page 100, that simply said “whale is important.”
english isn't for cowards. if you're not saying 'torpify,' that's a skill issue. there's no Académie Française telling you what to do. if you try to type 'pallific' and freak out when you see a little red underline, maybe you're not ready to roll with the big dogs.

Increasingly feel like the Titan submersible disaster was one of the defining moments required to understand the start of the 21st century, in the same way that the Titanic itself provided an emblem for the start of the 20th.

Still thinking about "When someone offers you a seat on the rocket ship, you don't ask which seat. You just get on"
My questions would be more like:
- where is the rocket ship going?
- does it actually fly?
- is it going to explode?

Been talking to a man from Sofia Bulgaria and as often happens I’m just embarrassed by my lack of knowledge about places on this earth. Anyway now I am obsessed with Sofia and this from the Varna Necropolis is so rad.
