I’m a writer because one time an English teacher read my dumb essay to the class as an example of how to write and I’ve been chasing that high of external yet ultimately meaningless validation ever since.

One thing that this performance review may have proven is that there could potentially be differences in how male & female staffers are treated in legacy media. Because these two new errors that I was being reprimanded for while under the performance review were NOT my errors. 32

wanna know what was fun, kind of? working on the college newspaper in the union basement till 3 a.m. when it was finally done and you walked back to your dorm in the snow, feeling intense, wondering about your future, hoping you didn't wake your sleeping roommate when you got in

Instead of treating colonial explorer’s accounts as primary sources, we should just treat those works as ethnographic material that is not about the native or Indigenous group, but about the coloniser’s culture.

always a strange, slightly unhinged delight in explaining to those outside the industry that there is a Random House imprint within the Random House Publishing Group within Random House within Penguin Random House

The design of the 1961 Migrant Press edition of Roy Fisher’s City might be diplomatically described as ‘unprepossessing’. One of approx. 300, I believe.

Corporate print publishing is a legacy system that is heavily capitalized on the production side and comprehensively monetized on the delivery side through the control of timing, access and distribution. Digital lives forever, but the revenue schemes haven’t been sorted out yet.

Intense, productive workshop with refugee women at Melissa today. I brought in postcards of paintings as prompts. One woman, seeing Renoir's Woman with Cat burst into tears remembering the cat she had had to leave behind, since no one would feed it or shelter it now.


TFW the institutional IT office confirms they're at last moving your sites to the fully-public S3 bucket on AWS. Our stable of campus journal websites can finally be brought out of slumber and updated, 18 months later. Bless the patience and acumen of IT professionals!

When the nuns of Uppsala, Sweden, purchased a damaged book in 1417, they mended its pages with colourful embroidery. #frockingFabulous indeed! Via Uppsala Universitet.

I'm leading a workshop tomorrow for our PhD students called "Publishing Demystified." Academics, what do you wish you knew about publishing when you were in grad school?


A firstie just stopped in to ask about The Journal, published by @corecurriculum students @BU_CAS. After our chat she said: “This feels like the start of something great!” This, so much🎉 We love when we can match student interest to publishing opportunities. #editingisoursport
