"The University has been pretty much paralysed since the announcements of January 28. It’s certainly not a creative climate for anyone in the affected schools trying to do serious research. ... Instead, it’s thoroughly demotivating." @CardiffUCU https://t.co/xahkKBbOVp

A suitably spectral way to start the new year!

@Cat_Liberace @LouiseChild6 Can’t wait!

[Josh Weinstein @Joshstrangehill]

I now say "Oh, that's raspberry!" anytime I eat anything particularly good.

What Simpsons line do you use on a regular basis?

[Dr Robert Lloyd @RobLloyd91]

[Alix Beeston @alixbeeston]

Some Monday reading for y'all - @RobLloyd91 and me in @SensesofCinema on the place of Wales in global cinema + a crash course in Welsh horror and thriller history https://t.co/7do9fBrPx6

It was such a pleasure to co-author this essay with my fabulous friend and colleague @alixbeeston - very proud of it, and delighted to have the chance to write about @LeeHavenJones' Gwledd in this context (because it's really great).

[Alix Beeston @alixbeeston]

A highlight of my year was writing this feisty piece about THE ETERNAL DAUGHTER with my pal @RobLloyd91 for @SensesofCinema. Taking the film's Welsh setting seriously, we use it to mount a critique of the (non)place of Wales in extractivist UK film culture https://t.co/DFJ5oYoig1

[Dr Robert Lloyd @RobLloyd91]

@biiilyedwards I’m sure you’ve done very well, Billy. Congratulations on getting everything finished.

[Dr Robert Lloyd @RobLloyd91]

@daniellehelen32 Congrats!

[The New Yorker @NewYorker]

Shirley Jackson’s short story from 1948, which inspired the most mail The New Yorker had ever received in response to a work of fiction. https://t.co/Vg0Z9d4SpR
