Okay, folks:
Rewind Wednesday! π«
Here's a piece I hope you'll enjoy. It talks about humpback whales and ancient female writers - two very different topics, you might think!
But joined by the fact that both science and literary studies are sometimes negatively affected by how we go about trying to correct preceding histories.

Morning, @elmaxx! π€
So glad to see your glorious name pop up! Hope your day's starting swimmingly.
Good morning!π
Thank you for your kind words, they brightened my day already! Wishing you a splendid day ahead as well!
More like Mean Horny George and Very Sick and Dying George, but any excuse for a Takei is a good excuse!
(Oh, and come for the whales, but DEFINITELY stay for the homophobic entomologist who published his disgust with the mating practices of certain butterflies. π)
