SO excited with the the gift that just arrived in the post - my copy of my friend @Flo_Wilk 's wonderful, fascinating and beautifully written (and beautifully produced - look at that cover!) book

Can I get a bit of working parent solidarity from twitter - I went away for work for THREE DAYS and my littlest one learned to walk in that time. He's trolling me, right?!

The first student whose undergrad dissertation I ever supervised (on the Tudor queens!) publishing his first book is 99% amazing, 1% making me feel very old all of a sudden! Huge congratulations @courtingscandal

Just a quick reminder that if you're an academic and your socialist praxis and strike against the system is being unpleasant to professional services staff you may, in fact, just be unpleasant

Insightful and oh so depressing

Devastated that Succession is ending too soon to mock this

"Westminster has a long boys-only history, but says it wants to fully reflect the diversity of the 21st century" Are girls... new? telegraph.co.uk/news/2023/03/2…

'But even though the solution to fatigue is quite simple, which is to get more sleep' - I can almost hear the collective scream of insomniacs theguardian.com/science/2023/m…

Consoling myself for the loss of Succession from my life with thematic cake
