1/14 My monograph is w/ copyeditor @RoutledgeLit, so I’ll take this moment to say what it’s about. I test the thesis that #Shakespeare exerted a formative influence on #Marx. My findings were significant. Marx’s engagement w/ Shakespeare is central to the construction of #Marxism

This is Annie tweeting on behalf of Christian- a #gofundme campaign has been set up as a #memorial fund to keep the yoga and Tai chi studio project alive in his name. Please help me by sharing this campaign gofund.me/5d51c284

@UPS_DE emails telling me my Paket is coming Thurs. I use the option to change delivery to next Mon. UPS emails acknowledging this. Today, UPS emails telling me my Paket is scheduled for delivery tomorrow, Thurs. Did you want to waste my time & deliver it when it pleased you?

@historianaks that is if universities were hiring good scholars. They only hire people who can get them funds - funded scholars in Europe and prestigious published ones in the US. Quality of research has no role in the hiring process.

@earlymodatLancs The invitation-only International Shakespeare Conf is an elitist and nepotistic institution. I have long called for people to boycott it. In 2018 I was invited to be a part of it by a generous friend who is a member. I declined and told her that she should boycott it #ISC2022

@DanielKatz6 @profbate I never taught in a middle class hood. The level of education in East LA and Hollywood, where I worked, was abysmal. This is part of real estate racism

@xion_smith @profbate All of that is true. But that said, my sense is the average US high school in a blue state in a middle-class neighbourhood is more demanding than English A-levels (can't speak for Scotland).

@profbate this is not representative of any high school I have seen or worked at. The first issue is that textbooks do not "arrive" to the students. As teachers we distributed to the students what was in the textbook room - old, half-destroyed, marked up textbooks.

My teenager told me she wants her next job to be "teaching old people water aerobics" she said, "doesn't that sound like fun?" It does sound fun.

@DrPeteKirwan Don’t take an ambulance ride if you don’t need to. The ride itself will bankrupt you.

Nochmal @dpd_de nochmal! Your driver did not deliver the package. Luckily I was sitting at my desk, caught the email you sent and ran downstairs to get my package, which he was loading back into the truck. He never rang the doorbell! What are you going to do about these drivers?

Hey @dpd_de, can we also have the option to click on that says: "Tell the Driver to Ring the Fucking Doorbell because I Have Been Home All Morning Waiting for this Package." That would be splendid

@eoin_price Marxist crit theory makes me necessarily an overwriter, and psychoanalytic crit theory, with its layers of unconscious material and inversions, makes me a monstrous overwriter. I'm thankful that the publisher of my monograph approved 30% over the word count.

Are you an underwriter, an overwriter or a just right writer? I am talking word counts here, rather than style. I think I am an underwriter. Maybe a bit too brisk for my own good.

Follow this page: twitter.com/Miners_Strike?… The violence perpetrated against the miners is the main trauma carried by the British working class today. Once they can work-through the fear Thatcher injected into them, they will increase their power in the class war
