Thank you!

✨I’m on the academic job market ✨

I’m a PhD candidate at @hcii.cmu.edu studying tech, labor, and resistance 👩🏻‍💻💪🏽💥

I won a teaching award! I was nominated by my students, which was lovely. Thinking about my grandmas today, who I hope would be proud of me

A Brief History of Men are Becoming Less Manly

Now do fossil fuels

How do you get a visiting lectureship? Do you ask people you know? People you don't know? Co-authors specifically? I'd really like to have one and feel like there are probably answers to this question!

Our horror at the genocide in Gaza, at the mass murder of civilians on Oct 7 2023, and at today's atrocity in Manchester, comes in each case from the same, inherent part of our shared humanity. We need to assert that shared humanity as loudly as possible, and in as many practical ways as we can.

I completely agree!

Very excited to be attending this talk by Patricia Owens about Erased: a history of international thought without men.

Thanks so much @researchspin.bsky.social for organising!

Happy birthday, Jo!

Realising how many typos made it past all your proof reading: 😬

Correct! I feel like I have a lot of catching up to do

Today's film is Three Days of the Condor, with Robert Redford. Other Redford recommendations welcome, as I've not seen any of his films!

I'm on my morning commute for my first day of the new academic year and I just got to pet a dog. A+ start, I think we can all agree

I'm in Sicily and yesterday we visited Mount Etna. I loved it!

I've been there and they are AMAZING! I hope you have a great time!

8) Do I understand what is happening? Absolutely not. Will I enjoy it anyway? Absolutely.

7) The USA Australia game was super exciting and I'm really looking forward to watching more rugby!

6) In the England Samoa game, I found the constant commentary about motherhood to be quite jarring. I've never heard anything like it before in women's or men's sport. I can see what they were aiming for, but... no thank you.

5) Even though England won yesterday, Samoa played really well, especially considering they are an all-amateur side. Give them more funding!! 5) Cass Bargell has IBD like me, and has an ostomy www.theguardian.com/sport/2025/a...
