The clerk at Blackwells asked me if my dog listens to me when I speak English. I said she does not, but maybe she would think was more serious when speaking Gaelic so she would actually listen.

I had a dream last night in which I discovered that cats can speak English, though they do not actually understand what they’re saying. Dogs do not have this ability. In my dream, I was completely unsurprised to learn this.

Decades of mechanistic talk about university degrees as if they were bundles of 'skills' and 'prep' are about to be proved completely wrong (obviously). Want to get a real boost? Do History or English.
