@AndreaNaranjoLe Thank you so much - you're really kind!

[Jessica Medhurst @AcademicJess]

@emeraldthiele Me too! My video attempts were work but it's still lighting up the whole room everything 30 seconds, with thunder 10 seconds afterwards. 😍🌩

Kent does the most incredible storms: it's been thundering and lightning-ing for 30mins. In other news, I don't have curtains in my room.

Does anyone have a copy of Haraway's 'Cyborg Manifesto' I could use? Mine is a few hundred miles away in storage... #lessonplanning

I need a military historian in the U.K. (20th century) who would be interested in working with me to access an archive (mainly uncatalogued)

@DawnHFoster If you can vocalise your anxiety it might help. I'm sending you hugs, strength and empathy.

This is my 'I submitted my Chinese visa paperwork today' face. It's very similar to my 'waiting for the visa permit' face but still: yikes.

Today I'm helping out a friend who's a childminder. I expect to return a broken woman.

For my part, I listened to it while lying in bed.

Internalised, fetishised busyness. https://t.co/4aFSa2o3Z8 I bet #ecr folk have something to say about this.

@doonboggles China! Plan B is the Netherlands... The itchy feet are back.

Gotta admire the speed with which this Child's Guide to Knowledge gets from 'What is the world' to mildew and smut.

A highlight this week was getting in people's way while I stared at this utter stunner. #monet Bloody gorgeous. @NationalGallery

[Chapter House Ensemble @ChapHouseMusic]
