The reason I use neutral pronouns is basically that my gender is soft and unstable and I don't like other people touching it

@HughPumphrey @Cambridge_Uni @JesusCollegeCam We had "oxmas" which was a christmas celebration (usually Christmas Dinner with crackers, presents etc) held on the 25th of November

@HughPumphrey @simoncast @FryRsquared You were quite ineffective at getting me to come off the computer, you liked computers, we had a lot of computers, I was taught computing at school, and crucially I was a baby queer who failed to have any friends at a critical moment. The 1000 cuts I dodged through sheer luck

@CharlieEdmunds 54. Adult woolly hats fit fine, but I buy kids' helmets

One of our lab members helped work on this article - if you are teaching yourself to code, there should be some useful tips in there!

[Jess Pumphrey @jmpy91]

Our aim is to reduce frustration with minor issues, show a bit of the bigger picture, and commiserate over genuinely grim tasks

[Jess Pumphrey @jmpy91]

Some friends @hearmyqueer @SunStarFlower and I were helping each other out and realised our advice might benefit others - these tips are aimed at anyone who finds themself learning to code, especially for work, study or research without dedicated training https://t.co/iwbSCyQlT0

@OpenBarbers Get well soon!

Huge protest filling Whitehall to say #JusticeForChrisKaba #BlackLivesMatter right now

@KirstySedgman For us the _tortoise_ was an elected position, being in fact a student in a tortoise costume

@oluoluoxenfree Kotlin and java are actually my favourite languages, hope you enjoy learning them too!

[Jess Pumphrey @jmpy91]

@oluoluoxenfree Even if you're working in kotlin mostly, it'll help you take into account the java underneath, and understand some of the pitfalls kotlin protects you from.

[Jess Pumphrey @jmpy91]

@oluoluoxenfree Effective Java is (or was? Think the 3rd ed. covers modern java) a really good guide to writing "good" java code - mainly conventions to follow and why. It was the only coding book I read for about 5 years when I started working in software.

@MakeYeFretPod Being masc, I want expecting to relate to [spoiler character?] as much as I did, but the experience of going home from the big city with a gender your home culture doesn't have is RELATABLE

[Jess Pumphrey @jmpy91]

@theguyliner @guardian I always interpreted it as "I see you are making an effort at masculinity" in an patronising fashion - I was surprised when I learned people say it to cis guys too

[Jess Pumphrey @jmpy91]

@MakeYeFretPod This is one of my favourite discworld books, I'm excited!

[Jess Pumphrey @jmpy91]

@daniel_m_lavery This is so great, it resonated so much with me and a bunch of people I shared with. One of those pieces that like it should have been so obvious, yet I'd never seen it before
