I did a google image search for men next to potholes and put them all in a montage.

Best email subject line of the week goes to Prof Sara Hallam: ‘very late I know, but I got distracted more than once by tennis´.

Love this.

@LyndseyStonebri My baby took his baby cousin out at the weekend in the pushchair I BOUGHT FOR HIM. He is also excellent at reaching things in high cupboards and occasionally carrying suitcases.

@becimay Totally thought you meant a report BY a two-yr-old...

@studiousgal @CatherineDaunt I was staring at this for the whole of my last flight. I think I'd settled on 'don't stand too close to the person in front' but the jewellery thing makes more sense... kinda...

@becimay Planerunpunch? Many thanks ☺️

@LyndseyStonebri Sounds like PTSD to me… have you tried EMDR?

Oh my God, fought by ‘the poor and unemployed’? NO. Fought by models, bar tenders, students, librarians… soldiers are drafted and supply their own weapons and armour. Their own boots. FFS.

I am a current @UCU rep. I have also been hosting a Ukrainian couple in our family home for over a year now. Their friends, ordinary men and women, have been killed defending their country. How can this be my union? I am reconsidering my position tonight.

[Dr Barbara Cooke @DecafB]

There is a full-throated session of the Hokey-Cokey happening on the park behind my house and it's making me happy.

Happy but belated news that Oli Tearle was on BBC3’s ‘The Listening Service’ over Coronation weekend talking about the role of the Poet Laureate: https://t.co/sCB17D6Gd1 @lboroenglish (he’s too modest to plug it)
