    β€œDo one thing for me, Sredni Vashtar.” The thing was not specified. As Sredni Vashtar was a god he must be supposed to know.

    1) My research is not worthless, & tweeting this at a grad student is unprofessional & inappropriate. 2) I don’t have control over that journal; take it up with U of T Press. 3) Had you asked, I (like many researchers) wouldβ€˜ve emailed you a copyβ€”as I’ve already done for others.

    Into medieval charters, manuscript #provenance & #transmission, the Beauchamp &/or Mowbray families, the dissolution of the monasteries, or lawyerly networking? You might be interested in my new article in Florilegium utpjournals.press/doi/abs/10.313… #Manuscripts #HistLaw

    When somebody recalls a book she has out, she returns it to the library that very day.

    Agreed, 100%. Cats are individuals but many are very affectionate β€” some are even downright clingy, ime. If you think all cats are standoffish jerks, that speaks volumes: you’re telling me that you’re obtuse and/or cats discern your character and feel wary. #RedFlag

    tl;dr: Be mindful of power imbalances & use your manners. Most researchers are thrilled to send people their work; just ask.

    Exactly. Centrist *at best*. From our (πŸ‡¨πŸ‡¦) perspective, USA doesn’t have a left-wing political party; the Dems are right-wing.
