It doesn’t escape me that these are named after a woman and a teenage girl. It does not escape me that medical misogyny continues to kill.

Congrats Shirley!

just to be clear there is SO MUCH precedent for arresting a senior royal. just not any precedent where it ends well for them

it was as I vigorously lipsynched to the Lonely Island’s “Sushi Glory Hole” while folding laundry in front of my six month old that I thought, “gosh, my daughter is getting such a unique upbringing”.

Six (more) historians in my department have taken (been pressured into) voluntary redundancy. Since we cross teach, supervise, & tutor, politics staff now have more work to do. The solution? Pressure staff (those with the biggest caring & teaching commitments) to move onto teaching only contracts.

unforced error

Liz Truss waiting patiently by her phone for Reform to ring, not realising it's actually a penguin biscuit

I'm afraid there *is* an obvious answer: it can't.

i was the only home whose cable didn’t go out when the sopranos finale aired and it showed tony looking up and seeing two guys walk into the restaurant holding hands. then it cut back to tony shrugging, which you have to understand in 2007 was a very powerful statement

And the England cricket team - who did NOT get whitewashed

Possibly the loveliest man in academia!

disquieting to read the story about OUH maternity care today.

Oh my god, SAME

whenever someone I know in professional contexts discovers I’ve had a baby and writes me a congratulatory email, they foolishly activate my trap card: sending a raft of unsolicited photographs of the Nugget

I LOVE THIS THREAD

‘Labour polled 11% in a seat that the party has held for 100 years’ is the headline news this morning. Feels like a headline going to hear a lot in the next year.

Eton Mess, or trifle. I’m never more evangelical about British culture than when recommending both.

The worst use of quotation marks in the history of human civilisation is in.

“What’s the charge? Eating a seal?”

my little girl started smiling at us properly, and we completed on a house!

my baby daughter has started smiling socially and it is the best. thing. ever.
