Here I am in 2020 in the flimsiest, most pitful PPE - like so many other NHS staff, some of whom died from the Covid they caught in their hospitals.

Tory peer Michelle Mone - who today lost her legal case & must repay the govt £122m - dares to claim she’s been ‘scapegoated’.

What, Michelle? 🧵

Whomever characterised breastfeeding as a beautiful, natural, easy thing clearly never fed a biter. Jesus christ!

Currently trying to read some feedback on an article draft whilst at a 5th birthday party inside a soft play, after being up most of the night with a teething baby.

It's not going well.

Husband and I have a deal that when we watch historical fiction I don't keep pointing out the errors and ruining it for him.

We're three minutes into King and Conqueror and I'm already struggling.

Today I found a jewellery box stashed inside an old wardrobe in our garage. How exciting I thought, perhaps my husband has bought me a fancy and beautiful gift and plans to surprise me!

He had not.

I cannot stop thinking about that photo of the starving Palestinian baby. It is such a gutwrenching snapshot of unimaginable and needless suffering.

The government response to this petition is infuriating.
“Maternity and other types of Parental Pay are intended to provide a measure of financial security to support parents whilst they are away from the workplace; they are not a replacement of earnings” except they literally are??? Please sign:

Men are extremely keen to explain to me that Britain *needs* a domestic steel production plant and doesn't necessarily *need* universities. Okay. Steel contributed about £1.7bn to the UK economy in 2024. Universities contributed more than £200bn.

Nothing incites my postpartum rage more than people who park in parent and child parking spaces who don't have children with them. I have started loudly shouting "oh, you've forgotten your baby" after people whenever I see this. Making a difference one public shaming at a time!

Max Wilkinson challenging James Orr every time he tries to dogwhistle or bullshit on politics live is an absolute joy to behold.

Latin Paleography question: A ms note written in a 1470 quarto reads: "Hos duos sexternos accomidauit mihi henrycus Keppfer de moguncia, numquam reuenit ut reacciperetur. Quare ec' do ... meo p' ..." The second sentence is heavily abbreviated. What is the full text in Latin and translated? (1/2)

I'm going to be awake A LOT shortly, so I'm looking for audiobook recommendations to while away the long breastfeeding hours.

Hit me with your favourite books. Any and all genres consumed!

Currently trying to finish writing up my thesis whilst 8 months pregnant and juggling a three year old and an admin job, and lads, I finally understand the expression bone-tired.

Does anyone have any tips that don't involve caffiene?!
