Does anyone know an abridgment of #Pamela that high school students/undergraduates would stomach and that wouldn’t sicken instructors too much? Just Asking Questions for me, and for a friend. If C18 mastodon wants to block me in protest, I deserve it. @carrideen @friede @ASECS

@TedUnderwood Agreed. It makes you feel like a file clerk who spends their time crawling along the floor trying to pry a manila envelope out of the bottom back drawer.

University website telling us to go about our business, unless we need to interrupt work long enough to fill out a form snitching on colleagues who strike? #RUOnStrike #rutgersaaup #rutgers #strike

@brewsterkahle @internetarchive A Glasgow library at the end of the 19th century accuses patrons "afflicted" with the "unclean habit" of wetting a finger to turn the pages are subjecting themselves to ingesting “deposits of other fingers wetted in other mouths." And in 1894, the British novelist Rhoda Broughton warned library patrons against fiction like her own, which she deemed likelier than more serious genres “to have been thumbed and read by convalescent scarlet fevers and mumps."

The office where I get mammograms refuses, year in year out, to respond to my schoolmarmish request for them to add the R missing from their badly-proofread intake form, and I must not be the only patient who's having nightmares about a growth on her left beast.

@futurebird A paper bag, or body armor – any recommendations for how to stay warm without groaning under the equivalent of a suit of chain mail?
