Friend of mine is exploring gender presentation and is looking for LGBTQ+-friendly shops in Manchester which might stock femme clothes in a range of larger sizes. Does anyone have any recommendations please?

I was going to go to Dragonmeet today, but the thought of schlepping all the way over to the Excel in East London is filling me with fear and loathing

I heard a story about a female academic giving a paper at the IHR who, after receiving a long and aggressive question from a senior male professor, simply leaned back with her hands behind her head and replied “Oh, do fuck off.”
One of my colleagues went to a seminar at Berkeley and when someone asked a question Derrida brushed it off saying ‘what you ask may be important but it is not interesting’.
This path leads to chaos.

My PhD supervisor and I are in agreement that gen AI is an abomination in the arts and an affront to life itself and I am extremely grateful for this
Look, LLM use in academia isn't just students. You need to be speaking clearly with your collaborators about your writing standards from the beginning. Make people say out loud that they don't write their own articles anymore.

'travel, exercise and personal appointment'

I remember this Wall Street Journal graphic claiming that CEOs work 55 hour weeks, and maybe only 6 hours of it outside of meetings would be unambiguously considered work if they were in an entry level position.

'You can talk to anyone and make them feel wanted and welcome.' That was nice to hear.
What is the best compliment you ever received? Putting aside whether or not you believed it.

My 7 year old just reached for a piece of pizza fresh out of the oven and exclaimed, in the same tone as an adult swearing…
“English folklore, that’s hot!”
I choked laughing ENGLISH FOLKLORE AS A SWEAR? WHO ARE YOU?!?
