I didn’t get the chance to swap contact details with people at #GothicCrossroads, so if anyone wants to chat about my paper or just keep in touch in general, my username is hazzachaz on Instagram (where I’m most active) and Twitter (where I’m not active) or I’m here! #mmu #gothicstudies

I am a Sophia.

Instead of aligning yourself with a HP house, align yourself with a Golden Girl. All very distinct personalities, and all would support trans women. #transgender #transrightsarehumanrights #goldengirls

Does anybody know if it's possible to convert epub documents to pdf? I have some accessibility software for my PhD but it only handles PDF and Word documents, and I have a few research books that are in epub format.

As of yesterday, I’ve had 15 bereavements in 5 years. I can’t endure any more.

Why is 2000s-era Toadfish Rebecchi playing a young Phil Mitchell in a dream sequence on #Eastenders? #neighbours

Kendrick Lamar sweeping the Grammys by calling Drake a PDF file to a banger of a song is my Roman Empire.

Also Mustard is one hell of a producer and deserves the success too.

(I’m also happy for the wins for Charli, Sabrina, Chappell and Beyonce.)

Stop clinging on to the things that are causing you harm just because they’re familiar.

The best thing about Nosferatu (2024) is the way Willem Dafoe says “schnapps”. #horrorsky

Bowie definitely COULD act which is evident in his other roles.

But for Labyrinth, being able to act doesn’t matter.

Yes, when it comes to things like generative AI. Other forms of AI also exist that aren’t heinous, like assistive tech for disabilities.

But AI that steals art and jobs from people can fuck off.

What did you think? It’s been on my list to catch up on but I just never got round to it.

tbf I’m not sure if Kim even remembers who her sons are.

It’s the only peaceful one left. Whether it’s active or not is another story.

When it comes to social media, yes.

I feel like if I took this advice I wouldn’t be anywhere!

I’m a supernatural horror fan, but I’m choosing to classify vampires under that umbrella! Body horror a close second.

Any Humanities PhD students on Bluesky? I’m in my final year and I need people who understand so I don’t lose my mind. #phd #humanities #phdstudent

Cats Domino, a tuxedo cat

Cat King Cole, a black and white cat

Having a day of missing my beautiful cat Thomas O’Malley who died last May. Luckily I still have my two gorgeous girls, Cats Domino and Cat King Cole. #cats #tuxedocat

ITV have just aired a party political broadcast from the Tories where Kemi Badenoch has literally just referred to all trans women as rapists. Jesus fucking Christ.

I’m autistic, but I’ve never done a N@zi salute.
I’m autistic, but I’ve never sexually abused anyone.

Maybe M*sk and G*iman are just terrible people and using autism as an excuse for their actions is incredibly damaging to autistic people.

I keep forgetting this app exists. Hi Bluesky, how are you?

(I’m on the hunt for less toxic social media and hoping this is the place.)

Seeing loads of Americans being like “who is Robbie Williams? Why does he have a biopic?”

I say to you: why are only artists successful in America deserving of biopics? You know people can be famous in other parts of the world and be considered a success, right?

BBC One are currently showing an adaptation of Rowling’s most blatantly transphobic novel. How delightful that our national broadcaster continues to promote her hatred.

I just had three fillings done without anaesthetic and this is how I know I’d survive a Saw trap.

This is absolutely heartbreaking. Ian Smith (and Harold Bishop) is a legend. Cancer sucks. It being terminal is even more devastating. #Neighbours

hell plate

Someone just posted a photo of the Mar-a-Lago Thanksgiving dinner and honestly, if someone served that to me on a plane in economy I'd fucking kick off.

I have a very worrying suspicion that Gangnam Style will feature highly in my Spotify Wrapped in the year of our lord 2024 because I have a 5 year old Nibling who enjoys it.
(I’ve only now thought to remove the playlist I have for him off my taste profile oops.)

Obvs I get the joke (v. good), but also my hometown has this blue plaque claiming to have invented chips, leading to fries. Everyone wants ownership of them, judging by the comments!
