And I think that more than ever before we should be celebrating those markers of the human beings behind anything we produce: including that feeling that next time, with the right conditions, things can be done better.

One way of looking at it is that even after several stages of selection, feedback, revision, review, more revision, copyediting, more revision, typesetting, proofing, even more revision, the survival of what could be considered defects, imperfections or errors are essentially markers of humanity.

In many ways, as an editor using non-AI methods I have resigned myself that complete consistency (particularly as versions change) is an impossible goal only leading to a type of frustration perhaps only understood in the same way by fellow editors. Current GenAI won't solve it either, of course.

Consistency is underrated in scholarly writing. It is easier to ensure it, editorially, if an attempt has been made since the first draft. Consistency in terminology and how sources and authors are named and referenced facilitates understanding: lack of consistency is increases cognitive load.

Happy Monday. Week 11 of 11 in the teaching term. Examiner in a PhD viva today. Push.

...but Audre Lorde said it well: our silence will not protect us.

And what resounds with me personally more loudly is that most immigrants in this country, most likely in any country, just want to 'try to live by a peaceful, tolerant, “just get on with it” attitude to life' as Bankole writes about his mum, and himself, and so many others...

I think all these stories are worth telling and hearing at any time, and the incidents narrated denounced, but I also think the ongoing cultural amnesia, the hesitancy to call things by their name, needs to end. There are people who still deny that Brexit was motivated by supremacist xenophobia.

It seems to me equivalent of us having to demonstrate well known facts again and again- because it seems the most obvious evidence -that Farage is a xenophobe- is not that obvious for most people. How can there be such blindness?

I also remain astonished that it's taken so long for these stories to be more widely known and akcnowledged- they tell of incidents that surely came back to the fore as soon as Farage emerged more prominently in the UK political sphere and media- and this is now at least 10 years ago or more.

Horrible. As a football (soccer) fan, I fully and completely despair. Burn it all down.

It's such a cool BD. I keep getting back to it and thinking I should have asked you so much more! But hopefully it gives a taste of some of the reasons why it's so interesting and a great addition to everyone's shelves!

Thank you once again, Vincent! You were very generous with your time.
