Big fan of Koestler's genuinely wonderful 'Anthropomorphic view of the rat has become a Ratopomorphic view of the man' (paraphrasing)

What if Agatha Christie books were written by and for Judge Judy fans was the general feel.

Stephen Roddy @stephenroddy.bsky.social · 9d

Okay. Embarrassingly bought one of those books because I liked the cover. Un-embarassingly took 3 pages to know it was time for me to move on.

People really need to just refuse point blank to do this.
I can't imagine anyone who had their PhD supervised by a brand new hire on a precarious contract would be eager to pass that particular curse on down the line to the next generation

Still digesting all the important conversations we had on Friday on our UCC ‘Dealing with Difficult Pasts’ event w/ panels on institutional abuse and gendering experiences of the North.

it would have been good if he also applied that point to Spotify.
