I thought this, which just arrived from @Literature_CUP, warranted a pause of my longstanding Twitter hiatus. cambridge.org/9781107193314

After several delays and cancellations (and a mean kale salad in the Detroit airport), I'm afraid I won't make it to #mla18. Thanks to @ChrisVVarren for reading my paper in my absence! I hope he gets the jokes right....

@RuthAhnert @owilliamsdc I'm just jealous.

@owilliamsdc #Sharknado, obviously. @matthewharrison

@owilliamsdc Everyone's talking about #emda17, but my heart is always with #emda13, to which I refer as #theBestEMDA.

@matthewharrison @Literature_CUP Thanks Matthew!

@roaringgirle @Becky_Fall @genghiskuhn How exciting!! Well done!

This hardly compensates for missing #shakeass17, but it’s ok as a fallback: amazon.com/Shakespeare-Ma…

#SecondChanceShakeAss will feature session on Coping with Professional Isolation, in which participants give papers to no one. #shakeass17

@whitneytrettien @c_perry There will be no honorarium, but you will receive two live chickens.

#SecondChanceShakeAss will feature keynotes by #shakeass17 involuntary non-attendees @c_perry and @whitneytrettien

At #SecondChanceShakeAss there will also be sessions on textual scholarship. #shakeass17

#SecondChanceShakeAss is currently accepting proposals for sessions on Disappointment, Regret, Jealousy, and Climate. #shakeass17

@c_perry I mean, not actually, you get the idea.

@c_perry Right there with you.

@EEllenMac Now I’m kinda serious about #SecondChanceShakeAss.

Can we arrange some kind of Second Chance #shakeass17 for those who can’t make it?

@adhaardesai @EEllenMac Is the crew also wearing the same clothes? Would it be inappropriate to ask?

What’s the long German word for “feeling that you are missing out and having those feelings intensified by social media”? #shakeass17

Looks like I may never set foot in Atlanta for #shakeass17, despite my dedication to foot-setting.
