  • Stopping by for a life update because it’s been a while.

    • PhD is submitted and I’m in limbo for now
    • still very overworked
    • my worst fears have been realised. the three (3) pear trees that are in the front and back yard at this house are, indeed, the cum variety
    • I’m reading A Psalm for the Wild-Built this weekend and it’s such a fucking delight. One of the best things I’ve read all year, and I’ve read over 40 books now.

    What’s new with you guys. I’ve missed you ❤️





  • “Baby.” It definitely feels like that. It also feels like I’ve been pregnant for 41 months and i’m so exhausted and I’m just about ready to throw the whole thing out the window. Apparently that’s how you know you’re basically done.

    Once I’ve sent it off, my supervisors want a version of the pdf for their reference. I’ve told them that even if they notice a typo in there, under no circumstances are they to tell me until I get my examiners report I can actually do something about it.




  • I am a language professional. We tend to believe firmly in descriptivism. Language is fluid and you can do whatever you want with it. There is no right or wrong. Nothing really upsets me except for when people say ‘an historical X’ or ‘an horrific X’ but even then it just makes me scrunch my nose up.

    But there is one thing that I cannot accept. One thing that makes stop what I’m doing and just want to scream in disgust ‘WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU YOU CLOWN??’

    And it’s when Americans refer to pasta as ‘noodles’

    Especially if they call it a ‘lasagne noodle’
