Claire Major @clairemajor.bsky.social · 13/07/2026"Sorry for the delayed response" is the first line of every email I send these days. It's implied, isn't it? I could just leave it off and do just as well? 020

Claire Major @clairemajor.bsky.social · 22/01/2026Maybe it's nostalgia, but I'm thinking about James Garfield's comment that the ideal education was "Mark Hopkins at one end of a log and a student at the other." Does sound nice... 000
