Academics: “I was really struggling with this sentence, but a few hours later I got it right, then deleted it, then rewrote it, then deleted it again. Then lay down and thought about the sentence”.

Parents: “your sister bought a house”.

.@TheEconomist did it again. Instead of talking about the candidates' policies and qualities, they used a mobility device to imply that someone is unfit for office.

@Claire_L_Jones @ahrcpress Unfortunately not something I am actively researching (Though at some point I definitely want to dig into a material culture history of urinary incontinence properly!)

[Beckhistorian on bsky @ChamberlainBeck]

@Claire_L_Jones @ahrcpress Seeing this and reading the replies make me so happy that this research is being done! It whittles down my list of potential post-doc projects (or gives me a scholarship to speak to…) and I can’t wait to read more
