At the Graduation Ball Conning is urging them to buy tickets for the CounterPlexity Ball.
Kayt pleads, “oh please come, please, you’ll love it.”
KristalClear takes Conning’s hand in one of hers, and in the other hand she takes Kayt’s.
“Like I said, we’re both working tomorrow. We’d love to come, but we need some time and space to relax."

In my novels it has to be British English, and delivered the way that Miss Wilson taught us in the 1970s . I may not have liked her much, but she was right! Even about befrazzlement.

A question for any 19th century English lit scholars (please do boost!): when were Lord Byron's letters to his wife first published? I haven't been able to find a specific date for those yet. (I'm assuming it must have been after her death in 1860, but I could be wrong even about that vague assumption...)
I'll probably get blocked for this but "conversing with books" using a fronteer model is very much like having your very own personal English Lit Professor.
Is it an exact similiy?
Of course not.
But it's a fantastic experience at 2AM when you're slightly buzzed and want to hack your own path thru Ulysses. To put it another way, you can take your own path through the text rather than a pre-canned version of what some authority on the text laid down as the "correct" interpretation in their thesis.
And the AI is not going to try to fondle you in your vulnerable state.
She was blue-eyed and flaxen and Aryan. A mortar bomb landed behind them on the verge, and for the second time, Jerry shoved her flat. The blast swept over them, and when it was past, feathers of earth drifted down like a propitiation. But she came up smiling. When the Pentagon thinks of civilization, thought Jerry, it thinks of you."
I'm currently reading both Tolkien's LOTR, and John Le Carre's The Honourable Schoolboy. While both authors treat women as an afterthought, they both include one woman (or girl in Le Carre's parlance) who is thirsty for battle, but Tolkien never spoke so bitterly about Éowyn:
"The bullets threw up screens of mud and whined off the road. They lay low, waiting for the firing to tire. The girl was looking excitedly across the river, smiling.

Hi all!
I'm Lauren and am returning to Mastodon after a long hiatus. I was previously on Artisan.Chat, which unfortunately closed, and Penfount.Social.
I'm a college lecturer of #Englishlit and #AcademicWriting. I enjoy #Tea, #Books, #Coloring, #Painting, #Sketching, and #Calligraphy as well as #FountainPens.
I am owned by an adorable Jack Russell named Tobie, and I look forward to chatting.
Here's a picture of my latest coloring page from Dark Fairytales by Kerby Rosanes.
