Hello history of print folk! Is there something called a 'Faux printer' (or does 'Faux' belong to the place name before?) #EarlyModern 🗃️

My poetry collection about teaching/education as English teacher and examiner over 40 years. Joys and despairs as poignant then as now, latter probably more for so many these days. An eclectic poetry mix, available at Wrecking Ball Press.

A print journalist had once asked me if there were enough English translators of Indian language literature. I had told her the real question ought to be whether there were enough resources for existing translators. They didn't publish that interview 😂

Today in 1912 Scott got to the South Pole....Just one month after Amundsen had beat him to it. Amundsen had left a tent with a Norwegian flag flying above & inside, a letter for the Norwegian king with a covering note asking Scott to post it. Cold. Literally.

Saw someone upbraiding someone else for having a hobby while the world is on fire, and, my friends: 1. The world is ever on fire, this is today's conflagration; 2. If you don't find time for rest and joy the fire will consume you; 3. Don't let people shame you for being an entire human.
