I’ve found a new delight: biscoff spread on a hot crumpet 🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪😍

I was pissing myself

My face at the centre with my mount open and all the colours extruded into rays all around. Stuff of nightmares.

Hah. 2013. Playing around with weird effects. #oldestselfie on my phone 🤣

I recommend playing the track “over 1000 farts” to get authentic noises

We gon have it tomorrow 😍

Ooooo noice

Yes plz

This was my position when mark suggested the instapot but I had a huge conversion. 😇

We are a big instapot household. @markrt.co.uk is the evangelist

Nope! Pop dried and a bunch of boiling water. Jobs a goodun!

Or if you’re us, big ol bag of dried and an instapot 🥰

😱

HELLO I WAS A QUEER TEEN IN THE 1990s AND THE ARGUMENTS AGAINST SOCIAL TRANSITION NOW ARE INDISTINGUISHABLE FROM THE ARGUMENTS AGAINST "LETTING" US BE (at the time, for me) GAY OR LESBIAN THEN.

They all rest on the belief that it's inherently better to be straight (then)/cis (now) and that's BS.

What a week -had 30 meetings and spoke to 2000 gcse students at Bridgewater hall. Can I be hermit for 2 days now plz? 🤪

I find you can get rid of an ear worm by replacing it with another. Cue Wallace and Gromit theme tune. 🎵 der da da der da da da daaa….🎵

Me doing green room realness - my reflection in the dressing room mirrors. I’m wearing a hounds tooth CK jacket and am gawping and throwing a peace sign

The running order for today showing me after Jim Al Khalili

GCSE science live season starts today! My 18th year of doing this! Lovely jaunt at Bridgewater hall in Manchester talking about fusion energy. Can’t believe Jim AK was warm up for me 🤣🥰

Gladys Mae West obituary: mathematician who pioneered GPS technology She made key contributions to US cold-war science despite facing huge barriers as a Black woman.

No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition.

Which just makes me want to share it again: www.nature.com/articles/d41...

This review provides an important report on where we are and how far we have yet to go to fully include and support disabled people in education.

Me grinning in glasses with all the chins. On my left hand side there is a plastic box filled with marked exams scripts

FINALLY finished all of my marking now. Wooooohooooo!!! Just in time for the weekend 🥰🥂🎉

I’ve forgotten how to hope 😐

I said this exact same thing to my OH last night. So weird.

Mark: we don’t have enough Parmesan left to grate on the pasta

Me: 😭

Mark: but we do have pecorino

Me: 😍😍😍😍😍

3 second rollercoaster of emotions there.

How many of my magnificent 7 do you recognise?

‘If I think about what this means, I want to cry’: what happens when a city loses its university? When Essex University’s Southend campus opened, it was a message of hope for a ‘left behind’ UK seaside town. Its closure will be felt far beyond its 800 students, some of whom will not get their degrees

Ass bread?

It’s Irving Langmuir’s 145th birthday today! He coined the term “plasma” for the lovely stuff us plasma physicists study 😍. #plasma

Eeeeewwwww

After a day cooped-up marking I needed to go run around and lift some weights to make my brain less itchy 💪 🧠🥰
