I’m so deep in PhD that I thought for a moment *why is Rhys proposing we get Idris Foster back from beyond the grave?*

Some truly brilliant scholarly assessment, too. “A Fascinating disaster”, “third-rate backwash”, etc. Fun to think about how to write academically about something you consider to be terrible

Quite struck with Gania Barlow’s argument that it must be deliberate, because otherwise we must surely consider Chestre one of the great historical morons

Interesting! I suppose it’s the removal of a middleman who’d do that talking for them?

Oh my God show me that review of R S Loomis on a T-shirt and I’ll show you all my life savings

Quite interested in the (implicit?) implication that gentlemen should learn Welsh; is that something you come across a lot?

Thank you dude !!! 💜

Thank you! :))

!! Touché

Unsure if this means I’m allowed to introduce myself as Le Bel Inconnu until next August. May try

Thank you for putting it together! Had multiple moments of “oh I didn’t know that person had Bluesky” so it’s wonderful to be able to follow friends and colleagues :))

No problem at all, thank you so much! (I may already have been on there, I don’t know that it would necessarily show me myself?)
