Thinking of you all 💙

There's a generic boot, but not rainproof ones - I think it would be difficult to make a case for what it brings to communication that the other wet weather emoji don't already ☔🌧️🌂😫😓

OK, so I ended up logging back into the journal website to redownload the specific version of the document that I submitted because I hit another "fix this quote that doesn't exist"

The missing reference was my typo, but there are two quotes I can't find and I hate this reality so much.

This was already not a fun task and now I'm running in circles trying to correct quotes that don't exist!

there's plenty in there that seems... fine... like, I wish I didn't have to write this paper for a third time but it's not terrible advice - but then there's just enough that I'm second guessing everything now 🫠

Dusting off a paper, picking yourself up and facing the feedback is never fun (this was a reject, but it's confronting it even when it goes well) - I just hate this new extra layer of second guessing

Maybe they just did the review while tired and a little wonky, and look I'm not going to fault them if the thought they couldn't find a reference in the list - I just hate that the slop machines make me second guess these things

It's taken me 15 minutes of working on this to wonder if the reviewer has had an AI do some of the work of this review. It's not all bad suggestions, and most of the "this on this page" is correct, and look I agree we maybe through the word Habitus around a bit more than necessary

Look, I like finding a solid card each year and sending it to everyone - I'm glad I have a kindred spirit out there!

Ooh yeah, I think reckon I could get to 25 🤔 *scheming intensifies*

If you'd rather chatty highlights, I've pulled together some of the interviews I've done around the book in 2025: www.superlinguo.com/post/7934340...

(And happy to chat gesture and my opinion of body language "analysis" with you any time!!)
