Furthermore, the plague's great population reduction brought cheaper land prices, more food for the average peasant, and a relatively large increase in per capita income among the peasantry, if not immediately, in the coming century.[26]

i told my advisor i was worried about the effect of a virus-induced recession on the academic job market and his verbatim response was "don't worry, some old codgers will probably eat it and free up positions"

I started reading The Secret of the Kingdom and it's very Jesusy instead of being a nice political thriller.

I was too dumb to realize it meant that kingdom.

i’m too restless to read, and every learning platform is so poo poo that I can’t grade any student work because every single high schooler in the country is logging in and trying to hand in work at the same time

on the plus side, I’ve played a whole bunch of Ori on my switch today

Take the plunge! Okay!

Yeah, I feel too restless for any serious reading too. I find rewatching old F1 races really calming. And long walks in the woods. I’ve barely read 50 pages in the last week or so.

I've just started reading James Tate. His prose poetry is of a good length to feel like you're reading something substantial without taking much time. Also it's extremely good!

is there an audiobook thread here? i just got the audible free trial and i want to listen to a book at work when i'm moving around.

i figure i could just find something i'm interested in reading and check if it has an audiobook version but i figure i'd ask.
