€40 tram fine even though we bought our fare and validated the ticket, nice.

Well we still have the Falklands so *fart noises*

As an academic, I have decided to pre-empt AI taking my job, so I am going to take ITS job! I am going to start hallucinating, lying to my students, and drinking 700,000 litres of water

Holiday is tomorrow but I did also promise my supervisors part of a chapter I have *not* started, so looks like I will be working right until I board the damn plane

Exciting news!! We have a fully-funded PhD place for a UK home student available 🚨 including a £21k+ a year stipend 🚨. Come and do a PhD with me as your supervisor! Critical tax law, value theory, global production and the legal form, that kind of thing ... fancy it? www.jobs.ac.uk/job/DRX657/l...

ARTS NEWS: Inter Alia by Suzie Miller, starring Olivier award winning Rosamund Pike, is streaming in UK from today 👇 @nationaltheatre.org.uk; delighted that @jgreenwoodreeves.bsky.social will be reviewing for us; recent work by James G-Reeves aka Alice Aforethought includes … tinyurl.com/5bptu3fs

One of the other swim teachers in the work groupchat has just sent a ChatGPT explanation of breaststroke, girl...

I have a new open-access article on abortion rights protest out in a special issue of ZaöRV on Protest and International Law, which was 2.5 years in the making! www.inlibra.com/de/document/...

I'd also like everyone to know that as well as being commonly referred to as the Dyke™ throughout secondary school (for wearing trousers and being a lesbian, but mostly for the trousers) I was also called the Feminazi™ after holding up said sex-ed lesson to beef with Ms Holyland.

One again re-reading "Our Bodies Our Selves" and once again remembering being taught the "girls are like a box of chocolates" analogy for virginity during a sex ed class - in 2016! That class was led by a christian woman in her 60s called Ms Holyland, so maybe I shouldn't have been that surprised.

No replies, orienting my ontology around the objects xx

Disappointed by the symbolism of last night’s dream, nothing but recycled clichés, YAWN!!

Dr Rebecca Shaw tackles harmful narratives about domestic abuse through a comprehensive educational programme that she has designed to reframe how domestic abuse is taught and understood in secondary schools. Her new piece in @theconversation.com goes into this in more detail👇 tinyurl.com/bd67cchw

SORRY?????

80% of doing GBV research is just reading the most fucked up quotes, realising the hatred of women is so institutionally engrained that fighting it feels almost futile, and making 500 teas to calm down.

A new smiski joins the desk (I will not rest until I get the laptop smiski)

it’s monday morning

CONCEPTUALIZATION - Pity. The jackets are meant to complete each other. If a man were standing alone on a street corner with 'PISSF****T' written on his back, it'd just be an individual that has taken a liking to urine. And 'FUCK THE WORLD' all on its own is, frankly, generic.

Prof @iliastrispiotis.bsky.social collaborated with @galopuk.bsky.social and @stonewalluk.bsky.social to produce a report on the forms and harms of conversion practices in the UK. It's been cited in support of draft legislation to ban conversion practices in England and Wales.👇 tinyurl.com/3bmywbcv

Today someone came up to *me* in the gym and asked if *I* could help *them* lift a heavy plate off the machine they wanted to use, and I was so shocked that all I could respond with was "Uhhh I can try???" but it was actually easy! I am both getting and looking stronger! Great success!!

cfp: Law, Medicine and Bodies (Critical Legal Conference) @feminomenologist.bsky.social and I are co-convening the Law, Medicine and Bodies stream of the Critical Legal Conference in London, UK. The conference will be held at the University of Westminster from 9 to 11 September.

Home time

Today's PhD work has solely consisted of writing "I am a morally grey fly on the wall. Buzz Buzz"

Oh, Iris Marion Young, we're really in it now.

Good to see we are fighting for the rights of girls by *check notes* forcing a group - already at a higher risk of sexual violence from their coaches - to expose their genitals to god knows who so they can kick a fucking ball.

Isn't this legalized s**ual assault? I'm pretty sure this is legalized s**ual assault.

Speak your truth queen.

"We do think we should be taxing the extremely wealthy. This isn't ordinary people's fault. This is fossil fuel giants. These are the people who need to be paying." Green Party deputy leader Rachel Millward on cutting bills and making polluters pay.

Special pride month guest!

Just got reminded that Sally Haslanger is one of my academic grandparents, sick.

Trying to make a start on my first ever article to submit to a journal and hoo boy where do you even fucking begin

There is a radio in the distance. A radio of the world. Playing sounds - Good morning, Elysium. Soon you will return to the world.

I know I’m a broken record but to see universities abandon critical thinking and completely chuck out their own policies around sustainability, research ethics, academic integrity, etc in the pursuit of shiny new tech has been quite something

Deadline tomorrow!

Survived the heatwave only to immediately get ill 🫠

Just got yelled at on poolside by a parent for the first time in ages (possibly years?), so that was fun.

Wowee the difference in friends that genuinely value your presence versus those that treat you as someone to complain to and nothing else ❤️❤️❤️

Unless you are Hegel, Heidegger or Kant I DO NOT WANT to see you using German words to add weight to whatever concept you are trying to coin. Pseudo-intellectual behaviour.

Friend can no longer take Crumble while we are away, so I want to get a pet sitter to visit the flat instead of taking her to a cattery bc my heart HURTS at the thought of that - are Rover or Cat in a Flat reliable? I've never used a pet sitter before 😅

The details contained in this are horrific, as they have been into reviews in maternity care in so many other trusts. Time and again the same issues are raised. If you care about public services, you should care about this. The quality of maternity care is a scandal.

31⁰ outside and I'm in a 2 hour teams meeting in my unbearably hot flat. Suffering.

Rewatching My Night at Maud's. Hubba hubba.

Will my supervisors understand if I refer to myself as "crashing out" in the email or do I have Gen Z lingo blindness?
