I've just been reminded that it was a mere three years ago that I finally graduated from my PhD (I took nearly 10 years to finish, and passed my viva 18 months before graduating - pandemic).
I came into academia late and had other careers first - it's not always a straight line.

But I did include a bit on B3ta and how it was the key source for memes in the UK during the early 2000s. I've also included Garen's wonderful Jesus and Dinosaur image

Last night Fergus the Bengal cat discovered he loves chips. I let him have two. He wanted more but I told him he'd be sick if he ate too much.
This morning I found a little pile of chip vomit at the bottom of the stairs.
He doesn't care.

Today I'm writing a lecture for next week on the Apple TV show Murderbot, pronouns, and asexuality.
We'll be looking at how asexuality is portrayed in the media.

I've seen a chihuahua and a large Bengal cat I used to have (he's sadly dead now) in exactly this pose.
The dog was Sigourney Weaver.
