Sweary prof, iconoclast, and non-league football nut (Larkhall Athletic FC 💙). Lives in early modern London; citizen & Founder. Bossed by cats. I mean it about the swearing 🤬

There was going to be one, years and years ago. Martin Wiggins was leading on it and I was tabbed to do the mayoral shows. Badly needed. Susan Anderson is involved in the Collected Heywood, which is probably more likely to appear now.

Dekker is so great! Not really: obvs I can speak to his pageantry and other works to an extent but wouldn't say I was a real expert.

Margaret Atwood's Negotiating with the Dead is a typically smart and insightful essay, and it also teaches well in my experience

Tough gig eh

Prof Tracey Hill @tracelarkhall.bsky.social · 1d

When I worked at the V&A about a million years ago I used to wander randomly through the galleries on my lunch break. So much beautiful stuff!

I discussed this scenario with a referee observer aka assessor 2 seasons ago and he said that refs *have* to be sure they're right, in the moment, or they can't officiate. Believe you me, I've tried

Prof Tracey Hill @tracelarkhall.bsky.social · 2d

I have this conversation every week. Referees are not going to say 'you're absolutely right, I have to change my decision'. It just doesn't happen, on or off the pitch.
