Professor of Sociology at the University of East Anglia. Vegan. Feminist. Jocund old sarcasmatron. https://linktr.ee/katestewart If you add me to a Starter Pack, I’ll probably block you immediately.
Carefully hoarded since last century. It’s all going to still work fine, right? Thanks Techniquest 1999.
Well it’s been an interesting week to become a Sociology Professor 🥴
Glorious weekend family celebrations gave my brother the chance to recount (with proof) the tale of when my dad threatened to turn his Clavinet into a planter if he didn’t come and pick it up (long after he’d moved out). Here it still lies. Never call dad’s bluff.
My other half has arrived in Bluesky! Here he is delivering the Benjamin Zephaniah Memorial Lecture in Brum last year. #academicsky #vegan #sociology
Last summer I had the incredible honour of delivering the Benjamin Zephaniah memorial lecture, at City of Birmingham library. Watch the lecture here: youtu.be/aVhvJsoO0s4?...
I should eat that last bit of banana bread, right? It’s tidying up.
Heading off to the ‘Big Reunion Weekend’ at Cardiff Uni, where I started my academic journey 40 years ago this year. Starting the trip on a nationalised rail service feels about right. Which one for the smoking carriage?
Historic day for women’s test cricket at Lord’s with the first 2 women to get on the honours boards today. All now overshadowed by discussion of the men’s test team 🙄 ENGvIND
Dunno what’s on your telly this evening but I stand by my life choices
This does not appear to be typical of 10pm on a Saturday at the Garnet.
NSS results day tomorrow. Like Christmas Eve but if the best outcome is that all the toys you already own haven’t been chucked in the bin overnight. Spreadsheets and RAG rating at the ready.
In other Wimbledon experience news: queued up for the well signposted Plant Based hotdogs only to be told the bread isn’t vegan. Fucking genius.
We’ve come to watch some tennis. Though some fellow spectators appear to have dressed for a wedding.
Love a bit of greenwashed catering. Paper cups made from plants eh, whatever next? Such a relief they aren’t using the leather and shell ones 🙄
Wednesday & Thursday, you can fuck right off. I’m too northern and ginger for that nonsense.
Well this has all taken a positive turn entertainment wise #ENGvNZ 🏏
