Can't believe I am starting to write the introduction to my thesis today !!!
It is actually really hard to put into words the context/framework of ideas you have been thinking and writing about for 4+ years 🤯
I looked for this ALL MORNING and finally found it

As much as I am here for freaked out/quieky/bisexual Isabella, I did take serious issue with the presentation of Heathcliff’s abuse of her, which is presented as a funny sub-dom relationship because Fennell doesn’t want him to look too violent or undesirable.
Some are calling this adaptation ‘subversive’ but it is only subversive if you are genuinely prudish. It’s essentially a teenage girl’s understanding of sex and romance in aesthetic packaging.
Anyway, I support Jacob Elordi’s rights and wrongs but I gave it 2 stars on Letterboxed. A lil dissapointing!
Did not expect there to be puppy play in Wuthering Heights but here we are I guess

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.
Stay free

Alasdair Gray & Robert Burns - Pictured is Alasdair Gray’s 1953 Tam O’Shanter, inspired by Robert Burns. A fierce champion of Scots, Gray shows Tam riding home below as witches dance to bagpipes in the haunted kirk.
The strangest feeling when your parent has died is that things happen that you really want to tell them about but cant - in this case, my dad would be so excited about the recovered Burns portrait!!!
Happy Burns day! 🏴🏴
My dad was part of a Burns Club and would address the haggis every year. As I little girl I remember looking through his copy of Robert Burns: The Scottish Bard. I never found his book when he passed away but I hope he loaned it to someone who is using it tonight!
We are thrilled to announce that the CfS for Issue 9, ‘Sex in the Long Nineteenth Century’ is now live!

It’s very Glaswegian of me to find faults in any cool things I do. Let me admit I’m proud of myself despite the cringe ✊🏻
Okay my ‘radio voice’ made me cringe, I described an elegy as a sonnet (?), and flopped at the Austen question (!)
but the whole show was a really great deep dive on Charli’s fans and my little segment touched on the nineteenth century’s contemporary relevance in pop culture 😊
Me too! I think she is the perfect person for the vibe and the John Cale collab is already so cool
On a more personal note we spoke about my pilgrimage to Barcelona to see SWEAT live, how I met my partner through a mutual love of hyperpop, and how clubbing culture has changed since the pandemic.
Clubbing has been a huge part of my life and I don’t think it is spoken about seriously enough! 🕺🏻
