ALT For a Student Who Used AI to Write a Paper Now I let it fall back in the grasses. I hear you. I know this life is hard now. I know your days are precious on this earth. But what are you trying to be free of? The living? The miraculous task of it? Love is for the ones who love the work. —Joseph Fasano

Ann won't be joining The Sleepless cult anytime soon - but enjoyed the ride 🤣😍 'Is it enviable to have such an unswerving belief or faith, something to which you adhere steadfastly, with no doubts? Yes, I think it is. Does this kind of cult appeal to me? Definitely not. I also believe in the principle of live and let live as long as no one gets hurt; in this case, the locals and the commune members are at odds. Either way, tolerance is not in evidence.
I found the premise intriguing; I didn’t want to stop reading and needed to see how the narrative would play out. Don’t be put off by the violence of the Prologue. It is easy to see how such a movement could sway would-be believers as well as cause alarm for onlookers, how it could attract both the ‘right sort’ and the ‘wrong sort’, the strong and the weak. Nothing is perfect, nothing is pure because humans are neither perfect nor pure. The ambiguity of the ending shows that and ambiguous as it was, it was not disappointing.'

‘Sleep No More’: The Sleepless By Liam Bell @fly_press yorkshiretimes.co.uk/article…
My pet peeve (triggered often over the summer months) is football journalists using "admitted" or "admits" for every scenario...
Thistle not playing today, so along to Forthbank to watch Stirling get scudded by Hearts (3-0 at halftime and no signs of a comeback...) ex-Jag Harry Milne the best player on the park.

Cocktails, cake and a 1920s cosy mystery, what more could you want in an evening?! @BadsvilleBroad & @liambell_writes about to launch The Devil's Draper #cosycrime
After 12 years at Stirling, I'm leaving the University to take up a new post at Strathclyde in August.
This has been the view from my office window for over a decade and I'm going to miss it almost as much as the wonderful friends, colleagues and students in Pathfoot.
