Me writing an essay: queering the middle ages is not about uncovering sexual identities, but about examining the ways in which things don't conform to heteronormative study and thereby unsettle the established orthodoxy through which we view the middle ages

Also me: hahaha he's so gay

There's a beauty in both of us wondering if anything we just said was true

This union is poisonous. It infects the rest of us with the hate and ignorance that boils at the heart of Westminster. End it so we can be free and people moving to our countries can be afforded basic human dignity

Lost a pub quiz today thanks to an incredibly specific science round that featured such questions as "what does the l stand for in L26C steel?" and "give earth's gravitational force in a number?"
Fuck off you cunts what am I a scientist?
