Agreed but you still have to GIVE one and it’s nicer to have an audience for it

That happened to me a couple of years ago, and as long as you put peer pressure on your friends, then you will have an audience 😅

Happy to be in some exciting sessions, but worried what I’ve done to upset the Leeds gods. Third year in a row that I have been given a Thursday paper 😭

Bluey is trolling English cricket fans: not being able to get Rusty out is a little close to the bone!

Seven year-old brought this absolute gem from the local Library: I could set this for university students and they’d learn from it! Obviously Daisy #beagle loves it too

Successive governments destroying the education sector, and British culture along with it, all the while spending a fortune on defending 'the culture' from Small Boats.

You couldn't make this shit up.

Wasn’t sure what to make of this, even when I’d finished it. A strange story of Fenland nuns in 990.

Ostensibly about a cursed mere (body of water) but for me it became about relations between women, and by the end of called it Mère (about mothers and female authority)

Excellent work by Dan and Áron on this project, reflected in our review here

Can anyone recommend anyone here to campaigns/promoted awareness for maintaining good mental health among academics?

Not for me personally, but thinking of doing a thing about it and wondering who’s out there and who’s good! #academia

Very excited to help with this in January. It’ll be history manuscript-tastic 🤓
Please share!
