I can announce it now

[cornerofmadness]

I'm the 2019-2020 Madog Welsh Fellow. I'll be going to Wales again to do research into the history of medicine in Wales. And what a lucky find today. I was trying to write while my students were testing and I was blocked so I decided to google around on my topic (as it's NOT as easy as you'd think) and somehow found two things I've not seen in the entire time I was proposing this research.

That there is a Physicians of Myddfai center and society in Carmarthenshire and those doctors were ones I wanted to research (Might do a section on how many of their herbs are meds today), came across Frances Hoggan, first female doc in Wales (for my sabbatical) and the Bonesetters of Angelesy, who basically fathered orthopedic medicine. I could do it on just them and Myddfai and be done with it. There are monasteries (or what's left of them) in Carmarthenshire and now I have a much more solid plan.

Still nervous (I'm not one for flying that far, not afraid, just don't like it because of how much airlines suck dick)

And today some exciting stuff happened like like actually seeing a black hole

Or finding out Boom is rebooting Angel’s comic too (though I'm not sure what they plan to do with it and I doubt it would be what I'd like it to be)

And now I want to decorate my own dildo
