Frog and Toad ate many cookies, one after another.
“You know, Toad,” said Frog, with his mouth full, “I think we should stop eating. We will soon be sick.”

Haven't received as many contributions as usual for this year's lists--could be many things, but one aspect is surely that our ability to get this in front of people is much diminished. If you know folks whose stuff should be on here, please suggest it! contingentmagazine.org/yearly-pub-l...

Elizabeth:
I never did her any, to my knowledge.
Richard:
Yet you have all the vantage of her wrong.
I was too hot to do somebody good
That is too cold in thinking of it now.

Just added an article I wrote back in 2022 after watching Netflix's new adaptation of Jane Austen's Persuasion. With Netflix's new 'progressive' Pride and Prejudice coming up, I am still asking the same questions (and of course Shakespeare gets a mention)

Greek men of military age were denied passage out of #Turkey in Sep 1922 with their expelled families, regardless of their combatant status. They were marched into the interior where they were tortured before the majority were massacred. Over 100,000 Greek men met their fate in this way.
