Officially though not totally retired from academic life. Becoming a playwright, with a focus on women, past and present, fictional and actual.

@BronteParsonage @ace_national Such a relief ….

@manwhohasitall Enjoy. There are so many bits of your body that always need fixing, and so many ways to fix each one.

[Jane Sunderland @sunderlj]

@manwhohasitall Such a delightful complementarity.

[Jane Sunderland @sunderlj]

@kieran_hurley I can see that. But I’m still concerned that even though democracy is *not* serving us well at present, this sort of action is - in a sense, at least - undermining democracy further.

[Jane Sunderland @sunderlj]

@kieran_hurley I know this sounds pathetic. But what if we now see (an extreme example) extreme right wingers destroying the Karl Marx headstone in Highgate Cemetery?

[Jane Sunderland @sunderlj]

@kieran_hurley Ok - what’s the criterion? What else can be brought down in this way? Anything? Of anyone? Who decides?

[Jane Sunderland @sunderlj]

@AyoCaesar Best way to get rid of it? Really?

[Jane Sunderland @sunderlj]

@initski @AmeliaJ39412316 @AyoCaesar Err - there is a difference

[Jane Sunderland @sunderlj]

@robertjwest @KirkChris Why can’t he concede? Because Tories don’t - ever?

[Jane Sunderland @sunderlj]

@Variety Of course, technically she's inaccurate: not all women menstruate, some transmen do. But transphobic? I don't see hate or fear here.

[Jane Sunderland @sunderlj]

@OwensDamien @lynneguist This is an old one. But I remember a great response featuring a picture of an otter all ready for armed combat - can anyone retrieve it?

[Jane Sunderland @sunderlj]

@lee33788 @STVNews Oh the certainty!

[Jane Sunderland @sunderlj]

@manwhohasitall If she wants a poet instead then I think Elizabeth Barrett Browning had a helpful husband?

[Jane Sunderland @sunderlj]

@emdachild @JamesEFoster @celtjules66 Well I just get cross about how so many people on social media so confidently attribute just one reason for someone saying something. There are many possible reasons, always; often two or more together - and no-one is psychic.

[Jane Sunderland @sunderlj]

@ivelostlewis @KirkChris Horses - bad idea

[Jane Sunderland @sunderlj]

@CCriadoPerez Also, not to condemn people for saying X when they said silly thing Y before. You can be right about something, wrong about something else.

[Jane Sunderland @sunderlj]

@emdachild @JamesEFoster @celtjules66 I don’t think you or anyone else knows what she ‘wants’

[Jane Sunderland @sunderlj]

@naisbitt_steve @ali_faceache1 @JamesEFoster @MustBeAMarxist @jk_rowling She said ‘maybe’

[Jane Sunderland @sunderlj]

@JamesEFoster Why wouldn’t it affect her? It affects everyone else.
