We’re definitely a target!

Finally got 1 Labour leaflet this week (Southwark), Greens probably 2 a week for last month. Nothing from anyone else 😂 complete landslide incoming.

Harris are big fans of single sex secondary ‘academies’, Southwark/Lambeth have many, none of which seem particularly great.

Ha i replied as I actually knew the answer for once but it wasn’t that interesting - story of my life/profession tbh

Oh 💐🌺 have a lovely birthday, you deserve it!

Small breakfast sob, renewed faith. #FuckPutin

No paywall copy of the article in the Times about unwanted sexual advances by Simon Goldhill at Cambridge. Thank god students in 21st century report this shit and the universities take it seriously archive.ph/2026.04.09-1...

Thank you 💚

I enjoyed it too, and the Pardoner successfully embedded a cynicism towards organised/disorganised religion!

Thanks Jen, it’s going to be great!

Thank you!

Flashback to my A level English syllabus! What a Tale, and an incredible panel.

I’m thrilled to join the Carena Institute @bbkhistorical.bsky.social team, which will develop my teaching, build on my research, and also means @drclaireharris.bsky.social and I get to work with @lesleymcf.bsky.social @jenbaird.bsky.social and Esther Breithoff! ✨💚

Put Fairford into your search and it’s easy to see what’s going on. I didn’t think Starmer could go lower- or poll lower - but apparently he is happy to be complicit in war crimes.
When do we demonstrate?

Alexander Perepilichnyy inquest: Russian whistleblower found choking Alexander Perepilichnyy was 'pale, cold and trembling' when he was found collapsed in the road.

Not as safe as people think either, depending on who is after you: www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-engl...

Really really great job at the ICS, with Anna Walas on her brilliant research. Also #Roman artefacts, #HadriansWall and decolonising approaches to interpretation 🏺

Although it’s so close to what locals want it’s proved highly effective 😂

They’re actually letting it slowly fall into the sea in reality, this is an April Fool - which might not translate across international borders!

The best ones are those that could/should be likely! (for some reason I was offered a translation from Japanese so wasn’t sure where you were!)

Not sure what time it is where you are, but in London UK it’s still the morning of 1st April 🤦‍♀️!

Photo of cliff at West Bay, Dorset with some probable AI editing showing scaffolding up the cliff face in an attempt to make it safe against rock falls. Text reads ‘work has begun on strengthening East Cliff. Safe to say they’re taking it seriously’. The date is April 1st.

A decent one from my local #Dorset Facebook scouts:

Cats love books. Here is ours preventing my daughter from the precise 15 minutes of revision she had planned for today 😹

Extremely cool and only slightly nerdy thread about traffic, and how to slow it down so pedestrians and cyclists are safe.

Also while calmly breaking DfT rules which is fun!

Him again 🙄 quite the media month he’s having

😂 I’m still waiting for a St Wite’s cross emoji personally 🤷‍♀️

‘Duncan from Blue’ was in my younger sister’s year but Wiki etc always say he’s from Bournemouth 😭 for shame.

😂 at times! The Western Gazette used to be my holiday reading for gossip, weddings/drug busts of school friends etc but it’s hard to find this stuff now!

Boscombe = reliably grisly. There are dark corners of N & C Dorset though, which deserve illumination!

Haha yes this is excellent stuff. South Today on BBC is ‘far too Basingstoke’, so my folks watch South West for the occasional west Dorset mention which is still miles away.

Grayson Perry at a lectern grimacing at the photo of Trump and Farage in Trump's gold apartment

Hanging out with Grayson Perry (and @kayth.bsky.social and @drsadiewatson.bsky.social) in London. Hilarious lecture on:

‘Why I hate Classical Civilization’.

Perfect!! 😂😂😂
