the conflicted position of having been a PhD student who had to have all kinds of side quests that were both known to the supervisor and kept secret from the supervisor (like - publishing a book on the side with a friend...)
and then being a PhD supervisor with PhD students who have all kinds of side quests that appear to be competing with their ability to get their PhD done 😭

civil twilight here now is from 1.17 to 3.17 am
dropped the berocca vitamin tablet into my cup of coffee rather than the glass of water which started off the morning well
this was a challenge to order, coming from an independent publisher in the US, but I got it in the post today! happy happy!
huge thanks to @loriemerson
glancing through a book on design that looks promising, but in the acknowledgements the author thanks Richard Dawkins, Donald Norman and Yuval Harari, and calls Jordan Peterson a 'soul rebel'. ugh. in the same category as Kate Crawford, Kate Raworth and David Graeber. 🤢
I ordered Other Networks by @loriemerson as soon as it was possible - amazing! inspired!
checked all possibilities for ordering/paying + shipping to my EU location - seems I could only do it through the evil A.
took a chance. and waited and waited. and waited and waited.
yesterday got an email that the order fulfillment was not possible and was cancelled. :( :( :( :(
so much for that promise of the long tail.
maybe I need to get it through eBay.
or did someone order an extra copy?? 🙏
