just below Hamlet is Julius Caesar. big affinity for the roman plays in general! also love Richard II

If you smell toast, you might be having a stroke... a stroke of luck that is. It’s toast time.

trying out a new feature, lmk if it works

one of the cool things about moving countries has been discovering all its indie acts – ofc I could've gone looking before, but having a friend put something on as you cook dinner is nicer not v underground but new to me is this Soda Blonde album – for fans of Wolf Alice/CMAT/Divorce/Sundara Karma

essaying on Lovecraft, half-against my will, and am writing on the sea, boundaries of perception/consciousness, speculative realism – things i care about – to get through it i don’t love his genre, and obviously dislike his racism, but the guy is pretty good when it comes to big bodies of water

I have seen a lot of cursed stuff in my time in academia but this is among the *most* cursed. Grammarly is generating miniature LLMs based on academic work so that users can have their writing ‘reviewed’ by experts like David Abulafia, who died less than two months ago.

Just Nick Robinson casually asking a guest on BBC Today if protests against the war 'should be allowed to go ahead' or 'ought to be banned in this country'.

Dunno. you're hot and you have mummy issues. That's prime lesbian material

Tired: Would you enjoy some cunnilingus? Wired: who want they

Bless Gareth, but man. He manages to make the greatest day in our history sound boring.

being a 23 y/o student in a city is strange atm clean living/eating and celibacy trends have hit a very high no. of people who should really be allowing themselves more fun at this age, more room for mistakes, later nights, etc. ...and the sheer prevalence of them makes the rest of us look AWFUL

Doors open wherever you go / in that furious place; / for you are the light / rising on lost islands

Nigel Farage lied multiple times at his press conference today - including saying no-one who voted Green in Gorton and Denton has a job and he's "certain" Reform won most British born voters in the by-election, based on zero evidence, and yet not a single journalist there pushed back on them

Raises some important issues but also ignores the fact that many Humanities staff outside the magic circle are facing redundancy. They are naturally willing, indeed desperate, to apply for entry-level Oxbridge posts. The situation is grim. 1/2

Me waiting at the start of the four-nations Teams call for Chaucer to join, but Chaucer is too wrecked to get on because the king has recognised the importance of getting all poet-civil servants hammered every day

the odds of me killing a plastic plant are low but not impossible

new relationship goals just dropped: dissing husband's hygiene habits in my seminal anthropological monograph on dirt, pollution, and purity

It's fascinating how all the people who insist it's just a phase also insist on aggressively repressing and crushing that phase rather than just letting it play out.

having a very I walk through walls / I float down the Liffey kind of day

have become academically obsessed with someone. almost finished a novel completely irrelevant to all the work i'm supposed to be doing solely because they wrote a paper on it that i want to read. i forgot how good/bad this is for me

Ahh, the Lancet, which took 12 years to retract the Wakefield rubbish that helped deliver us Kennedy.

Look how far we have fallen

detecting a hint of 'there's an inherent humour in your northern accent so I will laugh at your perfectly reasonable and accurate comment' in some of this morning's coverage

from my second-hand copy of Ulysses. the annotations stopped on page three

Finally, the bug is back with a round of the Guinness.

warmly welcome the return of the opportunity to step outside in Dublin without tights on ...still in my Donegal wool jumper, scarf, and buttoned-up jacket, but a win is a win

would anybody like to regulate my sex economy? 👉👈

coffee spilt on possessions ❌ can't source music to match my exact vibe ❌ walked into my professor heading in the opposite direction of his class ❌ john mcgahern ✅ view ✅

“What’s up guys! My name’s Alexander, but my friends call me Fiver. You know, like in the book? My family just moved here from Des Moines because of Dad’s work. What kind of music do you like? I’m into hip hop. Get it? Hahaha! Mom says I’m the family comedian. Hello? Guys? Guys? Sprechen sie bunny?”

Imagine your documents were marked up for editing with this guy. Terrifying! MS.B.2.25 mss-cat.trin.cam.ac.uk/Manuscript/B... #marginaliamonday #medievalsky

rewatching peep show. remember when accidentally making friends with someone who shows themselves to be a raging fascist felt beyond of the realm of possibility, and how it was funny because it was such a wildly atypical, unfortunate, and therefore quintessentially mark corrigan thing

new poem out online with the Oxford Review of Books felt when I wrote this I'd done something pretty different than my usual, slid into a more prosaic register, which was maybe the result of a little infusion of non-fiction. I liked the experiment! and I love octopuses 🌀

i think i should deactivate again for a bit cos i’m realising i’ve not been this overly emotional in like three years and while i have mainly been typing + deleting i feel like i had the right instinct in november deciding that now is not the time for me to have access to the Say Stuff Website

you did not see this kitty pull a glizzy heist good morning

I say let them have a crack at it.

I haven't been on X in years.. went into grok's replies. Almost INSTANTLY I see this. There are THOUSANDS of non-consensual fucking porn images being made of what looks like just scraped instagram photos. This is fucking horrific! What the fuck!!

Once she remembered trying to box her own ears for having cheated herself in a game of croquet she was playing against herself.

i have a feeling the first is actually The Social Network and i just reviewed The Holdovers late
