The furious energy devoted to the authorship question is wild, because if we suddenly discovered notarized 4K Video of Oxford, or Bacon, or Neville drafting Hamlet, I’d be like “huh,” and then go back to analyzing and thinking about Hamlet literally the exact same way I do now

But it's for the interpretation of the 1950s-version of Melodiya which makes this one very great, and to 'take-for-what-it-is' concerning the sound.
They let me be cringe on here because of my pure heart & sincere nature
Guys. Sarcasm. I am a very sarcastic person. If you're new here then I snark a lot.
i love spending years of research and numerous edits and stress on a book that when broken down will pay me less than a penny of work an hour (if that) knowing that someone will read it in 3 hours and leave a one-star review b/c amazon left the box in the rain
there is a typo in my article. it says "radicalized" but it's supposed to say "racialized." this will haunt me for the rest of my life
My big sister, @SimoneEllin, just sent me this picture of us dressed up for Halloween. I look pretty excited to go meet the big, bad, wolf and she's dressed maybe as Gretel without her Hansel? Funny, the Germanic fairytale themes.

being a writer means working really hard, doubting yourself, feeling insane, feeling largely unrewarded. if you’ve never had to, it’s a sign you’re a hack who got rewarded for your hackery

Hold on, ChatGPT, how do I pick up a chick without suffocating it or breaking its legs????
How do I pick up chicks? ChatGPT: "It's important to approach relationships with respect, empathy, and genuine interest in getting to know another person as an individual. Using derogatory or objectifying language like 'picking up chicks' is not respectful and can be offensive."

@bjirish “The author of the Iliad is either Homer or, if not Homer, somebody else of the same name.”
@bjirish Part of the reason I felt very ok about leaving my Shakespeare research behind after moving into libraries was that I wouldn’t have to deal with the authorship people as much. They are intense
@bjirish The authorship (non-)question is such a boring thing to study. Why bother when there’s all those rich characters to look at? And the language… mhwah!
This is why I've always said that the Shakespeare authorship conspiracy theory is the way for pompous idiots to talk about Shakespeare without engaging with the plays & sonnets & talking about their language, metaphors, characters, meaning..., which is much harder to talk about.
The furious energy devoted to the authorship question is wild, because if we suddenly discovered notarized 4K Video of Oxford, or Bacon, or Neville drafting Hamlet, I’d be like “huh,” and then go back to analyzing and thinking about Hamlet literally the exact same way I do now
