and generous music connoisseur. After enjoying Moopanar’s warm hospitality for a few days, he gently broached the purpose of his visit.

“I have incurred some unexpected expenditure. I feel greatly inhibited about asking anyone for money, but then I remembered you.

I thought I might get a loan from you."

“Loan? How much do you need?” asked Moopanar.

“Eighty sovereigns,” replied Narasaiyar.

“You say you want a loan. Will you pledge anything as security?” asked Moopanar.

“Yes, I will,” said Narasaiyar, after some thought.

1/ One year ago, @highcountrynews published #LandGrabU - a two-year investigation that revealed how expropriated Indigenous land was turned into seed money for Land Grant Universities. hcne.ws/3bF1GZ9
2/ Here's how it worked: Passed in 1862, the #MorrillAct gave nearly 11 million acres of #publiclands to states to sell off to endow fledgling land-grant colleges. Those lands, of course, were not uninhabited.
3/ That land, acquired through broken treaties, illegal seizures and outright genocide, was transferred through the #MorrillAct from nearly 250 #Indigenous tribal nations to 52 institutions, including @UCLA, @Cornell and @MIT.

OK, back to work.... today, helping hard working offspring (year one, at Uni, all online, sigh) with his first major essay assignment.
So, a thread on tips for editing your own or other's writing #AcWri #Essays
This is a bit rough and ready, feel free to suggest edits!! But one of the joys of twitter is the different requirements to a long form essay.....
Check what kind of comments they want - I have come a cropper many a time with heavy handed full on corrections throughout, blinding respected colleagues and beloved offspring with a see of red track changes and those annoying comments that go off the page

You are going to,

FALL OUT OF LOVE WITH YOUR WIFE/WOMAN,

And I encourage it. Hear me out

(a thread)
It’s natural to fall out of love with your partner.

It really is and, when you’ve been with them for a while you won’t know a deeper truth than this and it’s perfectly okay to. It’s natural.
Go ahead too but, only do it because your relationship deserves a reboot of your former self and an updated version of “Husband-You” bro.
