So brilliant to see access for parents of young children at #cardiffnlpworkshop - thanks comuni_carla for bringing the baby! Now excited to hear about models for detecting abusive language from Arkaitz Zubiaga... Cardiff NLP

Ooh, some good reading here ahead of my viva on Friday! (Especially interesting stuff on coding expressions of opinion from Yejin Jung, Dana Gablasova, Vaclav Brezina and Hanna Schmück)

Well this happened! 🤪 #PhDone Thanks to Dawn Knight and Arianna Maiorani 🇮🇹🇪🇺 for being interested and thoroughly engaged examiners, and to Dr Amanda Potts for all the supervision all these years 🥰

“Luckily in corpus linguistics there’s no such thing as non interesting findings. In fact it’s much more fun to be proven wrong than to be proven right” anna marchi 🏳️‍🌈 on why we love CADS #cadaad2024

Inspiring contributions from all today's workshop participants ✨️ (And nice to hear in the feedback that they want more - maybe this will need to become a series...?)

Is it me, or have the #EdFringe offerings got a marked surreal streak this year? #EdFringe2024

Can I put it out there that if #totaltheatreawards were running this year, #tweedysmassivecircus would (should!) win the circus category #EdFringe

And also Machine de Cirque #GhostLight. Double win. Honourable mention to Wes Peden #Rollercoaster. Could sly in to a triple.

It was my daughter's 11th birthday today. We went bowling, followed by desserts with her 3 best friends. A reminder that this photo represents what the UK is like for her and her friends, despite what the haters may want you to believe.

Edinburgh Fringe shows should not have to rely on miracles thestage.co.uk/opinion/edinbu…

This is also at #EdFringe and comes highly recommended as a potential contender for the erstwhile Total Theatre Network Circus Award

Want to quote every single word of this wonderful review of Wes Peden @gandinijuggling #Rollercoaster from Dr Katharine Kavanagh The Circus Diaries probably best to read it and remember her final words 'best not to miss out' thecircusdiaries.com/rollercoaster-…

Love that #Rollercoaster was the reason #KateKavanagh Dr Katharine Kavanagh took a last minute to decision to come to Edinburgh Festival Fringe this year. We have a lot to thank the show for!

Sad not to be travelling up to London for this today, BUT excited to be presenting a short talk on #MetamodernCircus via the wonders of online tech!

Another ghost-slash-legacy account. Not really here any more, but will probably get a notification if you have no other way to get in touch xx
