I for one will be setting up a camera in my upstairs bedroom and feeding it batteries till I fall asleep tonight

A few years ago, Brian Rose gave me a tour of the Penn Museum. One of my favorite items is this clay brick from ca. 2000 BCE, Ur (Iraq). I show it on the first day of classes because reconstructing the lives of ancient people often means working from the small impressions we all leave on the earth 👣

I have lived my entire life in Canada and I've never once heard these expressions. Maybe they haven't caught on in Manitoba.

If you're a writer, wondering why you should bother writing with the world on fire. It feels like it's not important, I need you to understand that it is. Even if it is just because it keeps you moving forward? Even if it only brings YOU joy, that gives you energy to fight & survive.
