1/ My day on the blog tour for "The Winter Job" by Antti Tuomainen, who turns a seemingly mundane cross-country furniture delivery into a darkly humorous thriller which was SO much fun to read! @orendabooks.bsky.social @annerandomthings.bsky.social www.angryalgonquin.com/the-winter-j...

It's just hit after hit over here,

I feel like I missed out on the fun of an imaginary friend because I have a real twin brother

Me at the Shackleton Autumn School telling my new young pals about how we had one computer at school with the internet in it

Secret Plan: Referring to New York as The Big Potato to see what happens

A reminder that this is happening this weekend! It’s as close to the secret handbook as we can get!

My parents had their 50th anniversary party back in May and this is EXACTLY what happened. They were dreading the party for a FULL YEAR. (it was lovely, there was a marquee)

I’m late getting myself together for HSS in Edinburgh but is anyone still looking for a panelist or chair? Polar science, history of exploration, material & visual culture, history of skincare, working outside the academy, etc!
