1 Goal for 2017
Do enough to look myself in the eye (through shades), but not so much as I interfere with Writing My Bloody Thesis. 2016 goals were not met, and nobody cares - 1) At least 12 posts on "preparedness - movement-building for coping with the coming horrors" 2) At least 9 posts on the laughable ritual of "scrutiny" that Manchester City Council stumbles through. 3) At least 12 "looting the ivory tower" posts, where useful insights that academics have had get translated into English.
