Today I’m at the Hereford Men’s mental health Blue Monday conference. I spoke about male suicide onscreen, and this afternoon I’ll be taking part in a Q&A with some fantastic speakers.

I've found a reason to propose chapters on both Mulholland Drive AND Interview With the Vampire recently. Oh no, what a shame, I will have to rewatch them....

I’m sorry, but it is disgraceful to be an academic who uses this technology to conduct research. It should be prohibited in all of our scholarly institutions, including universities and journals.

Just had a moment where a student 'quoted' me but it wasn't my words at all - they'd clearly paraphrased (or try to find a summary somewhere) and then provided it as a quote. But it threw me - had to wonder if I'd forgotten writing something!
