“What Birds Were There”
Brother Antoninus (William Everson)

WILCO. I've thinned a lot of that over the last few years, but I have enough to make it interesting. :)

I think it’s an important but problematic work…and the man can write. 🤷‍♂️

I think I’ll change the titles on this little shelf each month.

Here are a few IR favorites from my shelves at work.

I think my “dressing gown” is pants and a shirt with shoes and (matching) socks…shorts and flip-flops in really hot weather.

What in the world is a “housecoat”? It sounds like the sort of thing Vicki Lawrence wore on “Mama’s Family.”

Also…always take a walk, friend.

“The Giraffes”

Advice we should all heed, perhaps.

Regardless of that, I’d have failed the student. The argument presents nothing representative of evidence in the norms of the relevant discipline, it’s not well written, it’s poorly structured, etc.

The instructor’s comments go above and beyond to exhibit respect (in most cases).

🤷‍♂️

That seems to be the consensus.

Ok. That’s funny.

I agree, with caveats.

“Consensus science” is a thing when we don’t have anomalies that lead us to look for refinements/alternatives…& it’s still a paradigmatic umbrella even WITH anomaly.

We should probably also acknowledge the post-positivist view of science is itself a kind of consensus. 🤷‍♂️

“Persuasion, Jane Austen's last complete novel was published…five months after her death. It's the story of Anne Elliot, now 27, and losing her bloom, we're told. And of her feelings for the man she was engaged to eight years before, an engagement she broke off under family pressure.”

“Elegy for a Cricket”
J.V. Cunningham

“On Inhabiting an Orange”
Josephine Miles

allpoetry.com/On-Inhabitin...

"Emma Woodhouse, handsome, clever, and rich, with a comfortable home and happy disposition, seemed to unite some of the best blessings of existence; and had lived nearly twenty-one years in the world with very little to distress or vex her."
—Jane Austen, “Emma”

If you’ve read one of Don’s books, there’s nothing new here structurally or theoretically. It’s good, though.

Math IS fun, but I have ZERO doubt that “Math Fun Night” is not.
