It is spooky research assistant season 🐈‍⬛ 🧙

Dream Pointless board

HUGE turn out of trans folks and allies for the lobby of Parliament led by @transsolidarity.bsky.social

Incredible to see 🏳️‍⚧️

There's a tendency cover up mistakes in order to maintain the illusion that the teacher knows all. But us being wrong a) reminds students we are human too. b) encourages their own critical thinking and the value of questioning. c) reminds them that we are all always learning. OK cringe post over 📚

Cringe post but: 📚 Ever since I've started teaching one of the most valuable things I've learned is how important it is to own when you make a mistake. When I began teaching the idea of not knowing the answer to a question was my worst nightmare. Now I realise how important it is. (1/2)

Comments like this one on Joanne's most recent Twitter dog-whistle (this time attacking asexual individuals on International Asexuality Day, no less) prove exactly why we need to be educated more about asexuality. Sexual orientation and sexual desire are not the same thing, John.

New PhD procrastination level unlocked: learning how to line dance

As someone who was at Sussex Uni during the time of Kathleen Stock, I saw firsthand how horrific her words about trans students were and the extent to which her actions made them feel unsafe and unprotected by the uni. Transphobia is never "free speech" it's discrimination, plain and simple. 🏳️‍⚧️

The perfect place to edit my early modern witchcraft chapter 🧙‍♀️. #salem

Salem is being appropriately spooky 🦇. #salem

Some necessary r&r after #Shax2025 and #RenSA25. Had the best time, it's so exciting to see where research is heading, particularly as we arguably need the arts more now than ever. 📚

Was so great to spend three days with others in STEM (Shakespeare, The Early Modern). #Shax2025 #RenSa2025

Conferences are always the season when my coffee intake increases to unhealthy levels, and I love that for me. How festive. #Shax2025

Had the best time in the Undead and Zombies seminar for #Shax2025 yesterday. It was exactly as morbid as we all hoped.

I love how X is just a hellscape and Bluesky is just people sharing pictures of their pets. Big fan.

You've made it.

This is why capitalism stunts creativity

Creativity is like a houseplant, not an endless well. You need to seek out sunlight, water, and nutrients in art, shows, music, experiences, and more to tend to it. And just like plants it has its dormant and active periods and you may not seem improvement for some time.

Jaime Woo defines queer joy as ‘that exhilarating feeling that comes from being able to express our queerness clearly and with force.’

I feel like queer joy is needed now more than ever.

Hello, I am a lesbian and also agree!

I'm a lesbian but I am starting to see what the TikTok girlies are saying about Alexander

#TheTraitors

Told my girlfriend of five years she is actually just my roommate/ life companion. May we find suitable husbands soon and submit ourselves to them 🙏🙏🙏

Welp looks like we don't exist anymore. Guess i'm a heterosexual after all 💁🏻‍♀️ Thank you Donald Trump for clarifying that for all of us. #lgbt

You know what we need to talk about more, when you accidentally do a N*zi salute. Especially for those of us on the spectrum. It's just so darn easy to accidentally do. #sarcasm

Self-proclaimed 'global leader in combating antisemitism', the ADL, said of Elon's N*zi salute:
He 'made an awkward gesture... [we] should give one another a bit of grace, perhaps even the benefit of the doubt'

Such ignorance recalls 1930s Germany. All I can think about is this poem:

#elonmusk

Trump: "drill baby drill"

The earth 🌍, literally on fire: can you like not?

#climatechange #oildrilling #inauguration

Petition to make a queer witchy commune in the woods somewhere far away from this dystopian hellscape we are living in. #inauguration

Holding my PhD together with matcha, aesthetic writing locations and a prayer 🍵 🏙️ 🙏

No matter where you fall on the TikTok ban, the President undoing by “executive order” a law passed by Congress and upheld unanimously by the Supreme Court is an unconstitutional abuse of power.

Cannot work out for the life of me if Trump is gonna bring back Tiktok so he can be the "saviour" to Gen Z and Gen Alpha OR if him and his megalomaniac bestie Elon will start some sort of Tiktok-esque equivalent to Truth Social 🙄 #tiktok
