So I accidentally told my mum the wrong train time, and now she's been waiting at the station for 2 hours. Well, it's been nice knowing you all, because I'm about to be brutally murdered!

My straight female friend had a guy come onto her after pride until he saw she had a pride flag and said ‘oh you must be gay’

She said ‘no?’

He said ‘you must be if you support gay rights’

Her response ‘I support animal rights but i’m not a fucking badger’

Just amazing 😂👏🏼

Procrastination its finest: trying to find pop songs that are 32 bar reels rather than writing my dissertation. The things I do for folk dancing.

Had an incredible time watching the #3inchfools performance of a Midsummer Night's Dream. Probably the best adaptation I've ever seen.

For anyone interested in a history which delves into the real nature of #societalcontrol, I cannot recommend Miguel de Beistegui's The Government of Desire enough. His piece on recognition is probably the most fascinating piece of theory on the matter I've read.

Had a pretty productive day setting up the web page for the living history society. Now just to get some actual work on my #dissertation done #lulhs #normannis

Something goes right: I have done an amazing thing!
Something goes wrong: The whole world is conspiring against me!

We should watch out for people who think this way...including ourselves.

This is probably the cruelest, most heartbreaking thing I've ever seen in this game in 11 years of playing. I just. I just panicked. It was horrible. What the fuck. I legitimately had to go take a break and cry after this. what the fuck @Warcraft #warcraft

[Donald J. Trump ........................... ᵖᵃʳᵒᵈʸ @realDonaldTrFan]

Just finished MY rally in Tampa, Florida! I made up LOTS of NEW facts, some of which NO ONE has ever made up before! The crowd BELIEVED EVERYTHING I SAID! So Funny! So Gullable! I love the uneducated! #TrumpTampa

A child died after being separated from her parents by the government. Officials who supported this policy are responsible for the death of a child.

Be proud of what you read. #YAWeek

Today's reading has consisted of mainly my Facebook feed, with a bit of Hegel and Foucault thrown in for good measure. It's all for my dissertation, promise!

So yes, I have a BA, and an MA soon to follow... hopefully. This does require me getting off twitter again though, if I plan on finishing that pesky dissertation. I suspect it shall be another 4 years when you hear from me again. Don't wait up!

[Ellen Greyling @OutOfKantrol]

So I'm back. "But where have you been?" cries the lone goat who is still somehow following me. "Getting a degree" is my reply. And a degree I have!
