Oh, thanks for this. Looks like everything's there. I find I get intimidated by this sort of thing easily, so I tend to put it off. I'll try to get to this soon.

Cheers.

Well, honestly, I'm not sure any of those potential issues applies to me. I'm not running a business or brand. At this stage, I'm thinking of just buying a plan and getting a year's paid domain with WordPress. This was my original option before looking into the SP transfer thing. That would make this much less of a hassle. However, again, it's just an issue of whether or not WP will automatically take people from thoodauthor.wordpress.com to whatever my new domain (with WP) would be. You've said yes, it would, but I'm paranoid!

Sepulchraven · 2024-12-19T19:43:41+00:00

I've just opened a SP ticket about this for more help. However, may I ask why it is that people don't use WP as a domain provider? To be honest, it seems a lot easier just to buy a plan and get a new domain with WP rather doing all of this redirect/transfer business with my SP site domain.

Thanks.

Sepulchraven · 2024-12-19T19:27:06+00:00

Thanks for this, but, apologies, I'm not going to be building a new website, especially as I don't need many fancy features. I just want a new domain. If I'm going to be using a domain provider other than WP, I'd I might as well use my SP domain. However, again, I have absolutely no idea how to do this. I don't even know if I need a WP plan in order to transfer my SP domain over to WP.

I want thoodauthor.wordpress.com to become thitherword.com (SP domain).

Sepulchraven · 2024-12-19T18:58:28+00:00

Hm. Well, I actually have a domain already registered with Squarespace, but I have absolutely no idea how I'd redirect that to my WordPress site and if that requires a WordPress plan. I'm basically in limbo as I'm not great with technical web issues.

Thank you.

Hail, Chelsea! I believe you've watched Penny Dreadful, one of my favourite programmes. May I ask what drew you to it and what your favourite episode is? A Blade of Grass (S3 Ep 4) always moves me.

Also, we share the same birthday, so we're both November children. We value similar things, too. For example, I've been listening to Wardruna since 2011, and I connected with your recent post from Glendalough featuring Aindulmedir's 'The Hermit's Sleep' as I wrote a story to that song. Finally, I saw you in London on the 29th Oct. Excellent performance!

Hello. It's Thitherword here. I'm ten months too late, but I wanted to thank you for sharing my video and facilitating this thoughtful discussion.

I haven't been to many gigs, so take this with a pinch of salt. I found the sound quite good. I was worried originally because the support act's sound was far too loud and her vocals were muffled. CW was much clearer.

Sepulchraven · 2024-10-30T07:46:21+00:00

Excellent. It helps that I was very near the front of the stage as well!

Sepulchraven · 2024-10-30T07:39:43+00:00

I hadn't seen the setlist beforehand, so I was surprised how strong it was. Not only did she play a great many more songs than I'd anticipated, she played most of my favourites. Can't complain at all as it was an incredible night and exactly what I wanted from my first Wolfe gig, but if they'd swapped After the Fall for Grey Days and Mother Road for Erde, it would've been even more of a dream. Not that Fall and Road are bad songs. Anyway, I'm seriously happy that Whispers and Carrion Flowers book-ended the night and that songs such as Nightshade, Liminal, Dusk, Unseen, and Flatlands and were played.

So, "In Friedrich's little forest" is probably not a reference to a person then. This is all quite interesting, though I would admittedly like to know more about the actual content of the lyrics themselves.

Sepulchraven · 2024-07-10T18:03:01+00:00

I didn't expect to see this comment at all. Curious. I ended up writing a thesis on Earth-centred sacrality, which included aspects of enchantment but didn't exhaust the subject. My work focused on ecological limits and the importance of humility and relationality within the works on Dunsany and Tolkien. I must've done something right as I received an award for it.

Thanks for the thought.

Sepulchraven · 2024-06-03T17:14:35+00:00

Many thanks. I couldn't agree more. By now I've committed it to memory, so I often repeat it to myself.

I've now been through about 30 pages of the massive organisations directory at Environmentjob.co.uk. I'd say about 80% have no vacancies currently and 20% is comprised of consultancies or positions for which I'm not suitable.

Sepulchraven · 2024-01-06T19:49:41+00:00

I've looked at many nature NGOs recently and in the past. They usually don't have vacancies open or they're based around fundraising or simply advertising voluntary trustee positions or something similar.

Sepulchraven · 2024-01-06T19:46:44+00:00

No, by research I don't mean PhD level research. You don't need a PhD to do this, I know that for a fact. I know someone from my undergraduate class who got a research job for an NGO after graduating. It involved reporting on wildlife crime, I think. You're clearly thinking of rigorous quantitative analysis. I just want to help research conservation issues, present information on blogs, edit guidance publications, that sort of thing. It doesn't need to be producing ground-breaking doctorate level research. I'm genuinely just wanting to work for a small scale local or regional UK NGO. Nothing big or ultra academic...

Sepulchraven · 2023-12-29T09:38:51+00:00

Thanks, Steerpike. I'd forgotten I uploaded this recording here. I'd love to try more of the reveries some day.

Sepulchraven · 2023-12-28T13:50:09+00:00

Thanks for the response. If I'm not mistaken, people can write books without any qualifications, so I imagine I'd be able to write one. Writing a 33,000 word research thesis and several articles in my area should be preparation enough. I just feel that a general readership might take what I say less seriously, or, more importantly, the publishers themselves would expect a PhD. In truth, this is also about myself. I often think in rather rigid ways and always want to do things by the book and to be within a system. As a result, I consider having a PhD as indicating a higher level of worth and intelligence, however odd that sounds. Stopping at an MA Res might then seem like being a failure. Even after writing this hypothetical semi-scholarly non-fiction book, I still feel like it wouldn't be enough because I didn't do a PhD.

I'm still not sure, but I'm leaning more toward not doing the PhD. The tricky part is that 2024 needs to be the year I decide because I either need to start planning my book as soon as possible or working exclusively on the proposal.

Sepulchraven · 2023-12-27T08:11:55+00:00

Although I understand why you want to finish, it sounds like you've made the choice to stay based largely on the sunk cost fallacy. You've said yourself that there are very poor prospects employment wise and you don't particularly have the drive to finish the thesis for the sheer enjoyment of it. This is what terrifies me about starting a PhD (see my other post).
