My physio thinks I might have migraines.*le sigh*

So my mums campus went into lockdown this afternoon because they thought there was someone with a gun. The good news is she’s fine, she was a little shaken up but when she was leaving a random parent, there to pick up their child, gave her a hug.

I read Wuthering Heights last year and thought Heathcliff was a piece of work but having read Jane Eyre this year I’d argue Mr Rochester is possibly worse.

I feel you could do an adaptation of Jane Eyre but it’s just Jane doing a ‘GRWM First Day of School Edition’ and it’s her setting up a classroom telling everyone how she met her husband. All the comments being like “girl…leave him.”

Huge NYT article on the back story of those two weeks in March/April 2025 when DOGE illegally terminated hundreds of NEH grants. Gift link!! www.nytimes.com/2026/03/07/a...

Jordan has never seen The Vicar of Dibley, we are rectifying this.

Jordan is not going to the trade show in Germany anymore for obvious reasons.

I watched the first two episodes of Battle of the Fates yesterday, it’s a Korean tv show where fortune tellers compete to be the best fortune teller. One of the judges is Shidong from Super Junior which has awakened 15 year old Katherine and I’m now listening to kpop from that time.

Oh my god @colingorrie.bsky.social

I stepped on Hesiod and he clawed me pretty good.

The decision to make Whistledown basically A from ‘Pretty Little Liars’ was a choice.

The state of the world is making me not want to get up right now.

When the sex scene with Benedict and Sophie came on the screen Hesiod let out the most guttural meow I’ve ever heard. Like actually satanic sounding. I don’t think he likes Bridgerton.

My cat likes to go outside, but demands to be let in to use the litterbox.

I’m watching Bridgerton and Jordan’s at his computer. He says he’s not watching but he keeps commenting on the dialogue.

Reacting to Labour's devastating loss to the Green Party in Gorton and Denton, Keir Starmer claims that only Labour can unite communities. I agree. He convinced Muslims to vote for a white working class woman representing a party led by a gay Jewish man.

Hesiod blessed me the other night with biscuits and pats.

I really should try and write a blog. I’ve been meaning to do it every year the past three years now.

Petition to start calling a gothic himbo a Byronic Moronic.

It’s Monday morning, why are the buses all late?

Written English has barely changed in 300 years. If you can read Harry Potter, you can read Robinson Crusoe (1719).

I worked out how to knit my heel, my first sock is out of proportion but I’m still happy I worked it out.

I’m in bed with a cup of tea and Jane Eyre.

The Ramadan and Chinese New Year cross-over is cats being confused at iftar and cats being given lucky money.

So all we’re getting from the @britishmuseum.bsky.social is three sentences that evade the question and make no defence of the term “ancient Palestine” in the face of the Zionist rewriting of history?! This is what genocidal complicity looks like.

The best thing about wearing a mask everywhere is that if people can avoid sitting next to me they will. Even if the bus is full.

Happy Lunar New Year to all who celebrate🧧 The last Year of the Fire Horse began in '66 & saw anti-war protests & civil rights struggle. It was the year Rev. Jackson left seminary to join Dr. King’s Freedom Movement. May 2026 bring New York the same bold change people deserve.

Bus driver: bye Me: love you too

The bus was bang on time, an auspicious start to the new year.

“Many of the students involved in the claim will also have suffered further disruption during strikes by staff in long-running disputes over pensions, pay or working conditions.” sorry this is relevant how

Alleged cat burglar arrested after priceless Egyptian artefacts taken in Queensland museum heist

Severe storm warning for South East Queensland! It got up to 36 in Brissie today and it's still hot and stinky after 5pm 🥵

The horrors persist so I’m doing some maladaptive daydreaming on the bus writing some Heated Rivalry fan fiction in my head but the main characters are Aischines and Demosthenes.

Big turn out at the pro-Palestine rally in Brisbane.

It's not even midnight and we're already at "Deport Elmo."

This is my third attempt at an afterthought heel sock. Please pray.

Idk who in Brisbane needs to hear this but La Boite is putting on an adaptation of Sophocles’ Antigone next month.

When people tell me they don’t like reading as if mass literacy isn’t one of the greatest gifts on earth. Any before anyone says anything audiobooks = reading because it’s accessible. I’m talking about people who don’t read or listen to books.

Not exactly shocking news but it's worth noting that Hubbard seems to have requested money from Epstein to fund an anti-Title IX conference (something in line with, say, his class & multiple conference talks about how women are regularly making false rape claims) thetexasorator.com/2026/02/03/d...

Trying to focus on one knitting project at a time but I do want to knit the anti-fascism red hats.

very weird “I am Spartacus” thing happening right now with the worst people on earth

Woke up at 4:50am…rip.

Have to go back to the gate due to a medical emergency, so that’s interesting.

Full plane but empty middle seat so winning.

The real Pandora’s jar is when you download an academic article from Academia dot com and it unleashes all the emails.

It’s Hesiod’s Gotcha Day, on this day two years ago we went to the Animal Welfare League and Jordan found this scrawny ginger boy. He’s now very plump and diabetic but we love him anyway

I can confirm that @rantyben.bsky.social, @davidrafferty.bsky.social and @roelkonijn.bsky.social are real people and don’t live on the phone in my pocket.

A 4am chronic illness flair up is very rude.

The juxtaposition of a tiny Katherine against a large lecture theatre is very fun.

I feel like everything would have gone well if we took Medea to a Bush Doof.
