@BritishGasHelp - you seem to have responded to other queries sent after this one. Could you please take a look at mine? Thank you.

[Dr Bex James @18thCBexJames]

@BritishGasHelp hello I wonder if someone could help me sort out my account? We moved to a new build in October 2024 and gas is fine but apparently the electric meter is listed as deenergized despite us having electricity. Have called multiple times but still not sorted.

My partner Em is absolutely leaping and bounding along her journey into prehistoric ornamentation. Not surprised, but hugely proud she is already reaching the standard of top ancient crafts people!

@lusignanmermaid I’m so sorry to hear that, Sending my love, you’re in my thoughts xxx

Also a reminder that criticising a text is not ‘cancelling’ or ‘censorship.’

That is what literature scholars do (I am one). Examining the relationship between text and culture is what cultural studies scholars do (again I am one).

Critique is healthy, valuable, necessary!

[Sunny Singh @ProfSunnySingh]

I see we are again discussing Harry Potter and the many cliched representations in the text (most of which are extended/intensified in the movies).

It’s a good moment to think about how and why these were built into the text. It’s a great leaning opportunity for writers +readers

@joseph_owen_ @SotonEnglish @Soton_SIAH @CMCWsoton @voicesinthe @unisouthampton Congrats Joe!! ❤️❤️

@C18thRamblings @FionaBowler I second this, I printed the whole thing and used colour pens to mark up different types of changes (eg pink for typo, blue for sentence clarity) and then highlighted the changes on paper as I added them to word. I also circled any punctuation I added - it’s easy to miss commas

[Dr Bex James @18thCBexJames]

@BRebisz Sending you lots of love and hope you have a speedy recovery ❤️❤️

@FionaBowler @lusignanmermaid My supervisor was at mine - you do have to tell the graduate school you want them there and it does need to be signed off, just so you know :)
