If Reform were really committed to Christian heritage, they'd take back all the land sold off under Henry VIII and reinstate the monasteries

Why am I seeing people running about and posting about diets? January clearly doesn’t start until Monday.

Girton Fellows solve a 130-year-old Chaucerian literary mystery

I'm so thrilled to have this published! Starting from a chat over lunch at @girtoncollege.bsky.social, James Wade & I chipped away at this & have made some fascinating discoveries.

The actual article should be published later today. In the meantime, more here: www.cam.ac.uk/stories/song...

I swear every time I see a push notification from BBC news it’s some version of:

β€˜Reform may have lost an election/suffered a massive blow/erupted into civil war…but here is why its actually good news for Farage’s party’

A reminder with any breaking news, don't speculate and don't share information which isn't 100% verified. Basically, don't stir up shit.

Soubhiye, from Lebanese Arabic, is the enjoyment of a quiet moment of peace before everyone else is awake.

GΓΆkotta is a Swedish term for waking up early to enjoy the birdsong.

For the rest of us, there is hurkle-durkling, from Scots: lingering in bed long after it’s time to get up.

Just so you know - anyone who is going on and on about how they simply have to watch whatever new Harry Potter drivel comes out paid for this to happen. That is your money at work making people's lives harder and more dangerous. Great job.

Happy Trans Day of Visibility! Whether you are out or not, just questioning, or somewhere in-between, you are valid and matter. Gender is a wonderful diverse spectrum and being ourselves makes the world a better brighter place. Support trans people on #TDOV and always. πŸ³οΈβ€βš§οΈ

People often compare Trump to Emperor Nero - I personally see more of him in Pharaoh Ptolemy Potbelly

I almost bought a book on Amazon today, but then I went to eBay and got it slightly used for half the price. Boycotting Amazon is fun AND easy.

Fellas is it gay to receive homage from your vassals? Buncha guys kneeling in front of you giving you rings and kissing your hands???

One of the few things giving me a modicum of comfort at the moment is having read a lot of history books which feature story after story of headstrong upstarts with delusions of grandeur due to their proximity to power being abruptly deposed and then dragged through the streets.

Word of the day is β€˜forswunk’ (13th century): exhausted by work.

I like to add β€˜foreswunk’, exhausted before you even begin.
