Oh my frigging dog.

At this stage, beetroot has become a cornerstone of my personality.

I love her.

Irrationally proud of some wool I threaded.

When I tell you these were heavenly ...

It is going to be my mission to learn in whatever that thing called free time is...

Can we stop calling every recipe a "marry me" thing. Thanks.

I will never stop reposting "how does *thing* wear its pants".

Happy Gotcha day!! Now somebody explain where the hell nine years has gone?!

🏳️‍🌈

At the football, and somebody has just, in all seriousness used the phrase "bloody hell fire" and I am CRYING.

24 hours later, and I'm still sat here in awe of the Tommy Clufetos solo last night.

A bloody delight.

Thank god, it's been all of five minutes since I last consumed beets. Was starting to withdraw.

Sorry, but I bloody love making soup.

Would fight the world to protect the other Pea. Gotta stick together.

Opened Bluesky to a (unexpected, and exciting) plug of my recent article. So I'll take another opportunity to thank some excellent people for the support they offered me through the process, and maybe entice you to read some interesting things about the academic misconduct landscape in the UK.

Why do we (in the UK at least) take newspapers off the shelves come the evening?

How's your Saturday? I got to see a REAL. LIFE. SNOW. LEOPARD. ALMOST cried. Held it together. #Growth

Some days I really really really hate Moodle. Two steps forward and 1729473303 backwards 🥲🥲

Stop taking your dogs out in this heat. I beg you, please. It's too hot. You can enrich them in other ways. They won't die from a missed walk. I know it's tough when they're restless (spoken as part husky part basset hound owner, the most stubborn of stubborn) but it isn't worth it. Please.

P.s if I die tonight, you should all know it was this thing that did it. Giving it a cute name doesn't make it less haunted.

Choo Choo of the miniest variety.

New Teams calendar is a bit horrible, isn't it?

If I make all my hair orange, will I look like a dope?

Imagine being the absolute idiot who decided to walk into a table so bad you've probably broken your toe (at best incredibly badly bruised) the day before a concert. For which you have standing tickets. FFS.

Moolicious indeed.

An exceptionally exciting thing happened this week ... My first journal article got published! Very proud of the work that went in, and thankful for the support I got along the way. journal.aldinhe.ac.uk/index.php/jl... #ContractCheating #Educators #HigherEducation #Criminalisation

Yes, yes, and yes again. This is the minimum we should be allowing fathers/parents.

Local butchers has just announced they're now selling Sake. Fine. Take ALL my money, why not??

I don't know who needs to hear it, but Y isn't a friggin vowel!!!

How did you spend World Blood Cancer day? I spent mine getting my last set of testing done before making a stem cell donation next month 🤯 If you arent registered with a blood cancer/bone marrow/stem cell charity, this is your reminder to look into it! 🙂

A flower hunt across the city 😍

Maturity levels for the day ....

Been in an office fifteen minutes and I'm already annoyed by how loud people are. Honestly, how do you all do this on the daily? 🥴

I can't believe I forgot to tell you all I made my first ever stick insect friend the other week. Funny little thing.

Quacklings

When the copyeditor sends you his feedback and you wonder if he is unsure if English is your first language 😂😂 32 comments!!!

I'm sorry, but have you ever seen anybody wear a better fitting outfit than Zendaya at the Met? Yes. I know it was the point. But holy hell.

I gotta tell you, having the same argument in four working days about building inaccessible content is not the one. 🙃🤯 For those at the back: Accessibility 👏🏼 isn't 👏🏼 optional 👏🏼

A good day. Made friends with somebody's pet horse, saw a rat fren having a nice time, had ice cream, and now the splodge is snoozing. Happy bank holiday y'all.

You've (possibly) all heard of mara-noia, but now I'd like to present to you assignment-noia. It's not quite as catchy, but it is just as all consuming... (Yes, I know the cloud exists ... bold of you to assume they aren't all there too😜)

Is nothing safe?

Snack disposal (yes he is hiding behind our steps, only accessible by the tiniest gap).

Just ordered a PINT of pineapple juice. Best. Day. Ever.

Also found me the biggest duck, a grey seal (maybe two, unsure), a BIG HAIRY CATERPILLAR, an Oyster catcher and many skylarks. #Wildlife
