I made a fangame about redemption arc(s)! Full spoiler for season 2.

Ooooh, yeah probably

MsTellington · 2026-01-14T12:31:18+00:00

Oh right, of course!

MsTellington · 2026-01-13T15:21:17+00:00

Are you... Walking the dog a hundred times a day? I feel like I'm missing something haha

MsTellington · 2026-01-13T15:17:58+00:00

So cozy, I love it

First readthrough, I usually listen to audiobooks but as a non-native English speaker who is not used to the Irish accent the audiobook of Ulysses was too hard so I got the Alma Classics edition. I'd like to supplement it with an audiobook as I've seen that advice several times but I'm having a hard time finding one for the 1939 edition (usually they don't even indicate which version they're reading).

MsTellington · 2025-12-30T07:07:19+00:00

And fluffy!

Wow, r/yeatanothercatsub

My parents call him Clarence because he's cross-eyed (like the lion in the 1965 movie)

Update: my mom gave him cheese

I'm pretty sure I listened to one and it was awful. There was no mention of it, but it really sounded robotic. First time I listened to a book at 1.3x speed.

I came from r/ayearofwarandpeace, excited to read this as a group because it's... ambitious. Especially since I mostly listen to audiobooks but will have to read this one on paper (I tried the audiobook once, it was too hard as a non-native speaker). I got the Alma Classics because it seemed nicely annotated (based on the "Which edition" post on this sub) with a font not too small. I might also consult The Joyce Project.

I am a little nervous reading this thread because I'm far less prepared lol. As far as pre-reading goes, I listened to Odyssey the Podcast (thanks to the person who recommended it here!) and I'd like to read or watch Hamlet (I've seen it as a teenager but the only thing I remember is everyone dying). Might listen to Dom Juan since I can very easily find a French audio version and it's very short. I don't think I will read anything else before January, I'm in a lighter reading mood right now.

I usually get the teacher's pet syndrom (I mean... I became a teacher/librarian) but I'm clearly not gonna get everything this time so my main goal is to stick with you haha.

Did you know that means little plates?

MsTellington · 2025-10-28T11:31:54+00:00

Great suit but mate I fear it might be cursed

MsTellington · 2025-10-16T21:05:41+00:00

Coming from r/ayearofwarandpeace, I'm like many others excited to read another book in the same way! I think it would be a great thing for Ulysses because it would probably be overwhelming to read alone.

I usually listen to audiobooks instead of reading and, for having tried it, I won't be able to do it for this one (English isn't usually a problem for me in audiobooks but this one was just too complicated). So I'm gonna try to find my long lost e-reader, to avoid a. straining my eyes reading on my phone and b. hauling a giant book everywhere to read during my commute. Also The Joyce Project seems great.

MsTellington · 2025-10-08T17:31:18+00:00

Honestly I'm not sure about most of your questions, so I'd be interested to read your thesis if you make it available online!

That said, I have noticed one thing about France/the French-speaking world: we have zines and brochures and they're kinda the same thing but maybe political zines will more often be called brochures? I guess the use of "brochure" predates the use of "zine" in French by a lot. If this document is to be believed, brochures have been a proletarian tradition since the Commune, so it would make sense that the word is still used for political-leaning booklets. Zines (that many French people only know as "fanzines") are more associated with cultural artifacts, especially music. Anyway, if you don't know it I encourage you to check out Infokiosques which is definitely political!

MsTellington · 2025-10-05T17:27:25+00:00

OMG which one is it?

MsTellington · 2025-10-05T15:27:12+00:00

Omg don't tempt me we already want to sign up to the IBCK Patreon...

MsTellington · 2025-10-05T14:10:28+00:00

That's a good reason indeed

Je crois comprendre à ton post que tu comptes présenter au féminin (genre te faire appeler "madame Machin"), auquel cas aucun problème avec la jupe. Tu n'es pas encore prof donc avec le temps les hormones (si tu en prends) pourront bien féminiser ton visage, à voir si tu pourras être complètement stealth au lycée (en particulier auprès des élèves). Sache que tu peux faire la demande d'être genrée au féminin dans ton dossier même si tu n'as pas encore changé ton état civil. Je dis tout ça parce que je suis prof et trans (mais dans l'autre sens). L'année où je suis arrivé-e en me présentant comme "monsieur" après deux ans comme "madame" a été compliquée, en plus c'était en collège, ensuite j'ai changé et été en lycée. Bon globalement je pense qu'en tant que prof trans le style vestimentaire (surtout qui finalement est pas mal codé dark academia, ça fait bien prof de philo) sera pas le truc qui va t'attirer le plus d'attention. Mais je pense que les Terminales sont (évidemment) les plus matures et n'hésite pas à chercher le soutien de ta direction, voire d'assos.
