In Oxford for a pretend research trip. Gonna do some Dodleston poking while trying not to explain why I'm poking because it is objectively mad!

What fascinating is that we're happy to leave Twitter users be, yet they're desperate to hang out with us. Like kids clamouring to be allowed at the adult's table for dinner only to realise that adults just talk about mortgages and work!
Twitter accounts are based in Russia. BlueSky accounts are based in homes with, frankly, too many books, plants, obsolete cables, and pieces of rustic pottery, that could do with a bit of a tidying up, to be honest.

I really wish we'd stop calling them climate "skeptics" or "vaccine skeptics", if you jump off a cliff we don't call you a "gravity skeptic"

You're told it'll sabotage your career if you're a vocally politically opinionated, queer, woman. But things sabotaging my career are systemic xenophobia, sexism, and horrible job market. Which are a direct consequences of people not being vocally opinionated in the first place.

A cultural piece from me for a change.
I went to the "immersive light show" at Edinburgh Castle. It was tacky and offensive. Why are we perverting our historic sites for the consumption of (mostly) American tourists?

This 'immersive light show' is offensive to Scotland's history

Academic Bluesky, I need some help.
I need to turn my PhD thesis into a book. It is agreed that it needs publishing and this should be a simple task. My autistic ass does not understand this instruction.
I wrote it as a book. I wrote it how I write. I cannot think of a better way of structuring it

Rachel Reeves ‘tax international student fees’ might make a little sense if at the same time the government were incentivising international students to come here, and encouraging universities to increase the number of international students they recruit.

As someone single with no real family and living away from long standing friends, oh how I long for someone, anyone, to know me well enough to understand me as a person. I am painfully logical, but you have to know the parameters to see it!
I’ve never met an autistic person whose “behaviour” wasn’t completely logical once you understood their needs, their history, and their nervous system.
We’re not confusing.
People just aren’t listening.

Hot take Re immigration: maybe there are too many people in the UK now. Maybe with a landscape and population as diverse as the uk, trying to manage 69M people from Westminster is not doable. Maybe life was better when the Govt only had to manage a population of 56M (1975). 1/5

Hitting your mid-30s means your peers start Settling Down and get difficult to coax to a night outside of home, which is well and good but some of us are still trying to meet-cute a minor aristocrat with a large house and larger fortune, and he's probably not hiding down the back of a friend's sofa

As an anarchist I’ve never joined a political party.
Today I did.
With Tommy Robinson rallying the far right, silence isn’t rebellion.
Joining the Greens under @zackpolanski.bsky.social is my act of defiance: the only party willing to call Reform what they are - fascists.

Let’s be honest: nothing Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin have done in the last 56 years justifies the tremendous cost of bringing them back from the moon. NASA should’ve spared the long-suffering taxpayer and left them up there
