Podcasts about manuscripts

Developmental editing holds the power to make a manuscript connect with publishers and readers, yet few scholarly writers have the training to do it well. Make Your Manuscript Work: A Guide to Developmental Editing for Scholarly Writers (Princeton UP, 2025) offers scholars a practical method for assessing and refining the features of their texts that matter most—argument, evidence, structure, and style. Dr. Laura Portwood-Stacer, a writer, editor, and consultant for academic authors, explains how manuscripts move through the publication process and identifies the key stages for authors to improve their texts. Her guide shows scholarly writers how to identify what's been holding their writing back and fix it so they can accomplish their publication goals. It includes a checklist of assessment questions, examples from real scholarly manuscripts, tips on seeking additional help, and advice on offering developmental editing assistance to other writers. Written with candor, empathy, and a deep awareness of the challenges faced by academic writers who want to publish, Make Your Manuscript Work is an indispensable how-to guide for scholars at all career stages. Our guest is: Dr. Laura Portwood-Stacer, who is a developmental editor and founder of Manuscript Works, a consultancy serving academic authors around the world. She is also the author of The Book Proposal Book: A Guide for Scholarly Authors, and Lifestyle Politics and Radical Activism. She previously taught media and cultural studies at NYU and USC. Our host is: Dr. Christina Gessler, who is a writing coach and a developmental editor working with scholars in the humanities and social sciences at all stages of their writing journey—from grad student to alt-ac, and from the idea-stage to final draft. She is the executive producer of the Academic Life podcast, and writes the show's newsletter at christinagessler.substack.com.

Want to support the podcast? Join our Patreon or buy us a coffee. As an independent podcast, Shakespeare Anyone? is supported by listeners like you. In this episode, we begin by exploring how Prospero's magic in The Tempest reflects early modern grimoire traditions—a form of ritual magic rooted in books, incantations, and precise ceremonial practice, especailly as compared to the types of magic we discussed in our Macbeth episodes. We examine how Shakespeare's depiction of Prospero's art, Prospero's relationship with Ariel, and the creation and disappearance of the masque parallel descriptions of grimoire magical practices found in a grimoire manuscript from the late 1500s. From there, we examine how The Tempest itself mirrors the alchemical process, moving through symbolic stages of separation, purification, and reconciliation. By tracing how the structure of the play parallels the alchemist's pursuit of transformation, we uncover how Shakespeare weaves together the worlds of science, faith, and magic to create a story of power, renewal, and artful creation. Shakespeare Anyone? is created and produced by Kourtney Smith and Elyse Sharp. Music is "Neverending Minute" by Sounds Like Sander.

Episode 189:For today's guest episode it is my pleasure to welcome Dr Iman Sheeha to the podcast. Her book ‘Neighbourly Relations in early modern drama has been published recently so it was a great opportunity to talk to her about her research after she had just completed a summer tour of conferences.Her work is a close examination of neighbourly relationships in early modern English drama, placing a select number of plays alongside other contemporary materials such as wills, pamphlets and sermons and other sources that give us a glimpse of the early modern lived life. The plays span the period between the 1550s and the 1620s, belong to different genres, were aimed at different audiences, and were written for different kinds of playhouses, which allows for conclusions to be drawn about the way genre shapes the treatment of neighbourly relationships, as well as revealing continuities and changes during the period.Iman Sheeha is a Senior Lecturer in Shakespeare and Early Modern Literature at Brunel University of London and co-General Editor of New Mermaids Classic Plays series. She has wide-ranging interests within the fields of Shakespeare and Early Modern Literature, including gender, race, devotional literature, service, and domesticity and she works with PhD candidates working on these and related topics.She is the author of two books: Household Servants in Early Modern Domestic Tragedy, and Neighbourly Relationships in Early Modern Drama. She has co-edited a special issue on liminal domestic spaces for Early Modern Literary Studies. Her research has appeared or is forthcoming in Shakespeare Survey, Early Theatre, The Journal of Early Modern Cultural Studies, Early Modern Literary Studies, and American Notes and Queries and she contributed a chapter to People and Piety: Devotional Writing in Print and Manuscript in Early Modern England (MUP, 2019).' She has written the introduction for the Oxford World's Classics edition of ‘The Tragedy of Master Arden of Faversham' which is due to be published by Oxford University Press in April, 2026.Links to books by Iman Sheehahttps://www.routledge.com/Neighbourly-Relationships-in-Early-Modern-Drama-Staged-Communities/Sheeha/p/book/9781032896670https://www.routledge.com/Household-Servants-in-Early-Modern-Domestic-Tragedy/Sheeha/p/book/9780367503772Support the podcast at:www.thehistoryofeuropeantheatre.comwww.patreon.com/thoetpwww.ko-fi.com/thoetp Hosted on Acast.

We are happy to team up with Denis Salgado from The Center for the Study of New Testament Manuscripts (CSNTM) and discuss the history and transmission of the New Testament documents. The CSNTM is an organization started by Dan Wallace that exists to preserve and digitize NT manuscripts, studying their background and transmission. As part of their service to the church, CSNTM has a series of lectures they offer to local churches in an effort to help Christians understand the textual history of the New Testament documents.This is part 4 of a 7 part series, called Text to Translation: The Story of the New Testament. This episode focuses on the New Testament Manuscript Contents, discussing the content of the various New Testament Manuscripts, helping us understand exactly what they looked like and how that impacts our understanding of the transmission of the New Testament.

Regaining his freedom after five years in prison, Lafayette emerges into a world irrevocably changed by the revolution he helped put into motion. Now considered a political liability by the governments of both France and the United States, and with war continuing to rage across Europe, his future appeared more uncertain than ever.

In this Bell Work Talk, Dr. Jamie Lewis Saye discusses her team's pilot study comparing blind swab and speculum-assisted evidence collection during sexual assault forensic medical examinations. She highlights how both methods yield similar rates of Y-screen positivity and CODIS-eligible DNA profiles, underscoring the potential of less invasive approaches to improve survivor participation in evidence collection while maintaining forensic integrity. Dr. Jamie Lewis Saye, DNP, CNM, APRN, SANE-A, is an Assistant Professor in the Wellstar School of Nursing at Kennesaw State University and Clinical Director of the SAFE Center. A certified nurse-midwife and experienced Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner, Dr. Saye brings over a decade of experience in forensic nursing, trauma-informed care, and interdisciplinary community-academic collaboration. Her research focuses on strengthening forensic evidence collection practices, advancing survivor-centered policies, and improving health and legal outcomes for victims of violence. Dr. Saye recently led a multi-site pilot study across 13 sexual assault centers in the Southeastern U.S. that compared blind swab and speculum-assisted vaginal/cervical specimen collection methods. These findings inform both clinical training and policy, supporting survivor-centered and trauma-informed approaches in forensic nursing practice. Resources: Saye, J. L., et al. (2025).

In this episode, Jess unpacks some of the clearest signs that it may be time to bring a professional set of eyes to your manuscript. Writing a book can feel isolating, overwhelming, and sometimes frustrating—and knowing when to get help can make all the difference.Jess explores three telltale indicators:Your story feels stuck or directionless. A developmental editor can provide structure, identify missing threads, and suggest arcs to keep the narrative flowing.You're receiving confusing or contradictory feedback. This often signals that your themes and lessons aren't landing. A professional editor can synthesize feedback, clarify recurring themes, and give you a roadmap for revisions.You're too close to the work. When you can't read your manuscript one more time without getting lost in it, an outside perspective can reveal blind spots and bring clarity.To close, Jess offers a reflective journal prompt: If you're working on something right now, ask yourself—“Am I too close to this?”This episode is both practical and encouraging, helping writers recognize when support can move their book forward.This podcast is hosted by Jessica Buchanan, a NYT Bestselling author, speaker, survivor and founder of Soul Speak Press.

The Voynich Manuscript This week is all about the strange Voynich Manuscript. We explored how this mysterious 240-page medieval book, written entirely in an unknown language and filled with bizarre illustrations, has baffled scholars for over a century. From its discovery by rare book dealer Dr. Wilford M. Voynich in 1912 at a Jesuit college near Rome to its current home at Yale University, we traced the manuscript's fascinating journey through the hands of alchemists, occultists, and royalty. The book features drawings of unidentifiable plants, unusual star charts that don't quite match Earth's perspective, and peculiar images of naked women bathing in colored liquids—all accompanied by elegant, flowing text that no one has ever been able to decipher. We discussed the leading theories about the manuscript's origins, from the possibility that it was an elaborate hoax created by medieval forger Edward Kelly to sell to Holy Roman Emperor Rudolph II, to the idea that it's simply a coded language whose key has been lost to time. We also explored the most intriguing theory: that this could be an alien travel journal, documenting unfamiliar plants, star charts from another vantage point, and perhaps even the abduction process involving those mysterious liquid-filled tubes.

Host Natalie Grueninger welcomes Ellie Webster to Talking Tudors to explore the life of Mary Shelton: her noble family ties, role at Anne Boleyn's court, and a brief affair with Henry VIII. The episode focuses on Shelton's poems and annotations in the Devonshire Manuscript and what they reveal about love, reputation, and women's voices in the Tudor court. The conversation also examines Shelton's links with Mary Howard, Margaret Douglas and Henry Howard, confusion over identities in the sources, and Ellie's research process. A concise, source-driven portrait that brings an overlooked Tudor courtier and poet into clearer view.

Support Lorenzo on Patreon.com PROGRAM NOTES: Tangier, 1957. William Burroughs is creating Naked Lunch in the port city where traditional hashish preparations flow as freely as mint tea, and every transaction crosses cultural boundaries. Through the eyes of a young Moroccan fixer who navigates between worlds we witness the birth of ideas that would reshape consciousness and art. This is the untold story behind the famous line "language is a virus": a tale of how traditional North African wisdom practices intersected with experimental American writing, how words spread through cultural networks like contagions, and how the most revolutionary ideas often travel through the most ancient channels. Fiction grounded in research and respect, "Majoun & Manuscript" explores what happens when consciousness expansion meets cultural appropriation, when preservation becomes violation, and when a young translator must choose between using language to control or to protect.

Locked away in Yale University's Beinecke Library is one of the world's strangest books. Filled with unknown symbols, bizarre illustrations of plants that don't exist, and indecipherable text, the Voynich Manuscript has defied scholars, cryptographers, and codebreakers for centuries. Some believe it's an elaborate hoax, others think it holds forgotten knowledge, and a few suggest it may even be of unearthly origin. Despite countless attempts, no one has ever cracked its code. In this episode, we examine the enduring enigma of the Voynich Manuscript.

Arrested by the Austrians after escaping political persecution in France, Lafayette is locked away in a dungeon for refusing to betray his ideals. While his family and friends, scattered across the world, do what they can to aid him, it becomes increasingly clear as time went on that his salvation would come from the same nation that had once scorned him.

Send us a textBruno Bauer, an intellectual colleague of Marx, wrote two essays to which Marx reacted strongly. The first was called “The Jewish Question” (Die Judenfrage), the second “On The Capacity of Present-Day Jews and Christians to Become Free.”  Marx wrote two essays responding to Bauer's work, using the same titles.  The group of intellectuals of which Marx and Bauer were a part were debating how to achieve freedom (emancipation). Bauer saw Jews in terms of the Jewish religion. While Christians had just to seek freedom, Jews had to go through two steps to achieve freedom, theological and political (universal).  They had to abandon the Torah, and their focus upon themselves, and then join Christians to become politically free.  Bauer thought Jewish political behavior could be completely understood in terms of their ancient teachings.  Marx objected strongly, insisting that the religious issues were superficial and that Bauer had misunderstood the nature of conflict and freedom. These two essays were published in limited circulation and fell from public view when the 1848 uprising failed to achieve democracy and Marx fled into exile. They were only republished (along with several others) after World War II and are commonly called The 1844 Manuscripts or The Economic and Philosophical Manuscripts. These few manuscripts show a very different Marx from the Cold War image.  He was  someone interested in religion and human development. (Note: The first American publication used the title “A World Without Jews,” a term Marx never used, and which sounded very ominous in the aftermath of the Jewish holocaust.             I did this as a class lecture in my Religion and Politics class.  It was a valuable lecture because not a single student had ever heard of these essays.  I hesitated to turn the lecture into a podcast but once I had a text of the lecture, I saw that it had potential and decided to adapt it to podcast format.  I frequently asked students to write a two-page reaction paper (not graded) about how they thought about the lecture.  Almost universally, they liked this lecture because it taught them some things they did not know.  One of my students, a couple of decades ago, offered a unique perspective.  He was a trained Islamic scholar.  He said he had been trained in Koranic studies.  He knew the Koran and the Hadith (opinions and stories from the life and example of Mohammed).  to him those things were very important.  But he now understood that Muslims were also a community of people who lived in the real world.  Much of their behavior could be understood by thinking in that context. His was a reaction that many students had.  Glitch:  Around nine minutes in I accidentally hit the keyboard.  This required some editing.  If you notice a jump around that point, this is why.

Part of the reason a lot of people figure nothing much went on during the Middle Ages is because we've lost a whole lot of sources telling us what actually did happen. Through malice and misfortune, medieval manuscripts have been destroyed in their thousands. So, how do we know what may have gone up in smoke? And what can we do to keep our beloved manuscripts safe? This week, Danièle speaks with Robert Bartlett about the manuscripts we've lost by accident and by design, and how these precious documents are being preserved today.You can support this podcast on Patreon - go to https://www.patreon.com/medievalists

Send us a textEver wondered how to master complex veterinary procedures without someone physically guiding you? Technical Tutorial Videos (TTVs) are revolutionizing veterinary education by providing visual demonstrations that text alone simply cannot convey.In this illuminating conversation, three-time TTV author Dr. Rebecca Bishop shares her journey creating peer-reviewed video manuscripts for the Journal of the American Veterinary Medical Association. She reveals how these innovative publications serve as powerful teaching tools for techniques ranging from equine tracheobronchial washing to surgical instrument handling for left-handed practitioners. This latter topic holds special significance for Dr. Bishop, who was once told to "give up hope of being a surgeon" because she was left-handed – a limitation she has thoroughly disproven and now helps others overcome through her video teaching.Dr. Bishop demystifies the production process, explaining how she plans content strategically, captures video footage, and records audio separately to create polished, educational resources. She shares practical advice for potential video creators: "Don't let fear of performance or technology hold you back." Unlike standard online videos, these manuscripts undergo rigorous peer review while remaining open access, allowing authors to retain copyright and share widely for teaching purposes. The format provides unique opportunities for collaboration, with Dr. Bishop involving veterinary trainees in scriptwriting and production.Whether you're a practicing veterinarian seeking to expand your technical repertoire, an educator looking for innovative teaching methods, or a veterinary professional considering sharing your expertise through this medium, this episode offers valuable insights into the future of veterinary education. Watch Dr. Bishop's published technical tutorial videos on the AVMA Journals website or YouTube channel and consider how you might contribute to this growing educational resource.INTERESTED IN SUBMITTING YOUR MANUSCRIPT TO JAVMA ® OR AJVR ® ?

The book is about the development of the notebook (i.e. a book you write in yourself) in European history, and it covers everything from the development of paper as a cheaper thing to write on than vellum, to wax tablets, to Italian accounting practices, to Leonardo da Vinci's famous notebooks, to Darwin, to the modern Moleskine and where it actually comes from. In our conversation we talk about the means, motive and opportunity that enabled Roland to write The Notebook, and the challenges of covering such an enormous topic: what had to be left out; and the power of holding a grudge. There's also great advice for anyone writing any sort of book about how to incorporate cause and effect into your storytelling. Readers need reasons and consequences to stay engaged. We talk about Roland's favourite genre of notebook, the zibaldone, which existed in medieval Florence as a way for people to write down all the bits of literature they liked, local songs, recipes, events – anything notable was written down in a hodgepodge paper version of a mixtape. To connect this to fencing, it is similar to one of our oldest treatises, Manuscript 3227a, also known as the Döbringer manuscript. This is basically a zibaldone, with a section in it on fighting with a longsword. But it also has sections in it on other things like fireworks and recipes.  There's lots else to talk about, including our preferred brands of notebook, and our favourite paper. Find out more about The Notebook on Roland's website: https://roland-allen.com/  

Mark Clifton, Mark Hallock, and Dan Hurst discuss different ways to effectively preach with a manuscript. Some Highlights: Two cons of manuscript preaching: Your delivery can be too wooden.

In popular culture and UFO conspiracy theories, Men In Black are government agents dressed in dark suits, who question, interrogate, harass, and threaten unidentified flying object witnesses to keep them silent about what they have seen. The term is also frequently used to describe mysterious men working for unknown organizations, as well as various branches of government allegedly tasked with protecting government UFO secrets or performing other strange activities. They are typically described as tall men with expressionless faces, slightly pale skin, and usually wearing black suits with black sunglasses.  Join Joel on the final leg of the journey to discover the genesis of the Men In Black and their secret plans for mankind. He begins by looking at the Cipher Manuscript that started the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn and the mysterious Secret Chief, Fräulein Anna Sprengel, who gave leadership to William Wynn Wescott. He also looks at Aleister Crowley's Liber 811, Energized Enthusiasm, and his meeting with a Man In Black who brings him to a ritual site of the Rose Croix. Lastly, Joel looks at modern angelic healing stories that seem eerily similar to Men In Black appearances since the 1940s.

Immigrants from Lithuania who made their way to New Britain, Connecticut at the beginning of the twentieth century found work in the city's factories turning out tools and hardware. Their weekly routine included work, church and socializing at neighborhood saloons. But major upheavals in American society were happening at the time that affected their lives including the rise of organized labor, the temperance movement, anti-immigrant sentiment, and labor strikes.   In this episode, we have two new voices in public history, Central Connecticut State University students Jon Kozak and Nathaniel Smith. They produced the episode as a class project under Dr. Leah Glazier at Central Connecticut State University. This episode reminds us that some of the most interesting history can be found all around you in your own community.   A big thanks to Jon Kosak and Nathaniel Smith for their hard work in producing this episode. I also want to thank Dr. Glazier, professor of public history  for her help.   Contact Jon Kosak at: j.kozak@my.ccsu.edu Contact Dr. Leah Glazier at: glaserles@ccsu.edu   Jon and Nathaniel used a wide variety of local history materials including oral histories and the New Britain Herald newspaper.   Museum Collections:  The New Britain Public Library Local History Room, The New Britain Industrial Museum, Connecticut State Library, and the Elihu Burritt Library at Central Connecticut State University, specifically their special collections and archive of the New Britain Herald newspaper.   Oral Histories: John Skritulsky, had been interviewed by the Federal Writers Project in 1938, by a writer in the FWP's New Britain office by the name of Albert Kayeski. Being Lithuanian himself, Kayeski understood the importance of this ethnic community in telling the story of an industrialized New Britain. Several of his other profiles bear mention of taverns, be it Skritulsky's or others as places to gather. Use of New Britain directories from the turn of the twentieth century reinforced the prevalence and importance of these institutions. It must be noted that for the clarity of our story, the character of Jonas, whose story was found in a FWP profile by Kayeski, History of a Lithuanian Immigrant, was originally listed with the name John, and was given no last name. We changed his name to Jonas, the Lithuanian translation of John, to avoid confusion with John Skritulsky in the narrative. No other names were altered from the original source material.   Manuscript reference:  Portrait of Occupations, Investments, and Businesses of Lithuanian Immigrants in New Britain Connecticut by the Reverend William Wolkovich-Valkavicius from 1979, Local History Room, New Britain Public Library. Song Credit: This version, by the musical group Ugniavijas, recorded in 2014 is a centuries-old Lithuanian folk song whose title roughly translates to “Sweet Beer of the Oats. The original lyrics with an English translation can be found here. It is a song that remains important to the people of Lithuania and is still sung today, often by schoolchildren.       -----------------------------------------------------   Connecticut Landmarks Event Join Connecticut Landmarks at East Haddam's Palmer-Warner House for our second annual Summer Pipes & Cider!

The Wag Festival is one of the oldest named celebrations in Ancient Egypt, a summertime rite honoring both the death of Osiris and the memory of departed loved ones. Each year, the living gathered to share feasts with the dead with offerings of bread, beer, and beef to sustain them in the afterlife. In this episode, we'll explore the festival's connection to the Osiris Myth and uncover its traces in the archaeological record, from tomb reliefs and inscribed stone offering tables to the very first Pyramid Texts in the tomb of Unas. Along the way, you'll hear about some of the specific foods and offerings that graced these ancient tables.TranscriptsFor transcripts of this episode head over to: https://archpodnet.com/tpm/20Links and SourcesSee photos related to episode topics on InstagramLoving the macabre lore?

NOTAS DE ELENAMaterial complementario de la escuela Sabática para adultosNarrado por: Patty CuyanDesde: California, USAUna cortesía de DR'Ministries y Canaan Seventh-Day Adventist ChurchDOMINGO, 10 DE AGOSTOAGUAS AMARGASDesde el mar Rojo, las huestes de Israel reanudaron la marcha guiadas otra vez por la columna de nube. El panorama que los rodeaba era de lo más lúgubre: estériles y desoladas montañas, áridas llanuras, y el mar que se extendía a lo lejos, con sus riberas cubiertas de los cuerpos de sus enemigos. No obstante, estaban llenos de regocijo porque se sabían libres, y todo pensamiento de descontento se había acallado. Pero durante tres días de marcha no pudieron encontrar agua. La provisión que habían traído estaba agotada. No había nada que apagara la sed abrasadora mientras avanzaban lenta y penosamente a través de las llanuras calcinadas por el sol. Moisés, que conocía esa región, sabía lo que los demás ignoraban, que en Mara, el lugar más cercano donde hallarían fuentes, el agua no era apta para beber. Con gran ansiedad observaba la nube guiadora. Con el corazón desfalleciente oyó el regocijado grito: "¡Agua, agua!" que resonaba por todas las filas. Los hombres, las mujeres y los niños con alegre prisa se agolparon alrededor de la fuente, cuando, he aquí, un grito de angustia salió de la hueste. El agua era amarga (Historia de los patriarcas y profetas, p. 296). Pronto la fe de ellos fue probada. El Señor descubriría hasta qué punto podía depender de su pueblo y si este le sería leal y fiel. Peregrinaron por tres días en el desierto y no encontraron una fuente de agua. "Y llegaron a Mara, y no pudieron beber las aguas de Mara, porque eran amargas". Éxodo 15:23. ¿Demostró entonces el pueblo su fe en Dios, por la evidencia que habían recibido de que Cristo, envuelto en la nube, para que su gloria no los destruyera, los guiaba en persona? "Entonces el pueblo murmuró contra Moisés diciendo: ¿Qué hemos de beber?". Vers. 24. En vez de confiar y temer al Señor, creyendo en él en medio de circunstancias aparentemente desalentadoras, proyectaron su reproche sobre su dirigente. Lo mismo ocurre con esta generación. La estructura de las tentaciones de Satanás es siempre la misma. Mientras todo marcha bien, la gente cree que tiene fe. Sin embargo, cuando sufren o sobrevienen desastres o reveses, se desaniman fácilmente. La fe que solo depende de las circunstancias, que únicamente se manifiesta cuando todo marcha bien, no es una fe genuina. En medio de este problema, Moisés clamó al Señor. Esto es lo que los hijos de Israel, recientemente liberados, debieron haber hecho. El Señor escuchó el clamor de su siervo, contra quien el pueblo había dicho cosas tan amargas. "Y Jehová le mostró un árbol; y lo echó en las aguas, y las aguas se endulzaron". No era ninguna virtud contenida en el árbol la que transformó el agua amarga en dulce; era el poder de Uno que estaba envuelto en la columna de nube, Uno que puede hacer todas las cosas. "Allí les dio estatutos y ordenanzas, y allí los probó; 26 y dijo: Si oyeres atentamente la voz de Jehová tu Dios, e hicieres lo recto delante de sus ojos, y dieres oído a sus mandamientos, y guardares todos sus estatutos, ninguna enfermedad de las que envié a los egipcios te enviaré a ti; porque yo soy Jehová tu sanador". Vers. 25, 26 (Letters and Manuscripts, t. 11, Carta 49a, 1896, párr. 3, 4; parcialmente en Cristo triunfante, 10 de abril, p. 109).

Speculation has swirled that Ghislaine Maxwell is writing a tell‑all memoir from prison, purportedly aimed at “correcting misinformation” about her involvement with Jeffrey Epstein and the broader scandal. Reports from early 2024 suggest she believes a book could vindicate her, with an anonymous source quoted saying she “really thinks she hasn't done anything wrong and that her charges will be dropped when people read her story.” Manuscripts are said to be kept under extreme secrecy—stored across three legal lockers and moved paranoidly to prevent leaks.These claims have sparked concern and criticism among survivors and public commentators who fear that far from delivering accountability, the book—if published—could serve as a self‑exculpatory exercise. Legal experts note that while she may legally profit from such a memoir, victims would likely need to be notified under state laws and could seek restitution via civil claims. Maxwell's reported efforts to capitalize on the Epstein scandal by “telling her story” have been interpreted as another attempt at self‑rehabilitation, rather than genuine introspection or acceptance of culpability.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Ghislaine Maxwell Could Make Millions From Jeffrey Epstein Scandal (newsweek.com)

Imagine opening a book and realizing... you can't read a single word. Not because it's in another language you've heard of, like Spanish or French. No—this book is written in a language no one on Earth can read. The letters don't match any alphabet. The words don't make sense. And to make it even weirder, this book is filled with strange pictures: plants that don't exist, stars and moons, mysterious women floating in green pools, and lots of other odd things.This isn't a made-up story. This is a real book. And it's called The Voynich Manuscript.Birthday Shout Out Form⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Resources, Books, Photos, Coloring pages and more!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Mysterykidspodcast.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Become a ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Patron⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Or a Subscriber on Spotify!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠
