I’m went to the medieval faire at @chethamslibrary.bsky.social today & fell in love with a tiny owl called Pickle. Also met a gorgeous falcon called Phoenix. Happy Jules 🥰

Oh woe is me. I’ve just had an English breakfast in a nice cafe I usually just get coffee from. Long have I lusted after their cakes in the morning. I don’t have room for cake. I should just get a take out shouldn’t I?

There is so much disinformation about the "Super El Nino" floating around the internet b/c mentioning any sort of mechanism that affects weather seems to start a shouting match. So here's a good video that gives you JUST the info you need in under 2 minutes.

Please share these guidelines for trans-inclusive fieldwork as far as you can. Sharing this thread is great but the biggest impact would be sending inclusivefieldwork.leeds.ac.uk/trans directly to your colleagues, networks, professional societies, journalists, and friends. Thank you! 🏳️‍⚧️

what is the point of a giant pdf rulebook full of all the careful qualifying rules if THEY DO NOT ACTUALLY MEAN ANYTHING

Took the afternoon off to recover from… everything. I checked out a new cafe near where I live (very nice) and am currently wandering round the local park enjoying the squirrels, birds, dogs etc

Jim Henson would have been 90 (yup, you read that right: NINETY) years old today. You can celebrate his life by celebrating creativity, diversity, peace, imagination, and silliness.

I’m going to start a wellness insta account extolling the virtues of eating pots of ambrosia rice pud to reduce your cortisol levels. In other news I’ve had a long day & just eaten a pot of rice pud which has made me feel much better. 😋

New discovery: 900 Roman silver coins found by a detectorist on a field in Wesseling, south of Cologne. He called the authorities once his detector kept going off and he realized he’d found something bigger. The hoard dates back to the era of Emperor Hadrian. www.spiegel.de/wissenschaft...

Bizarre things that happened in your assembly: A neighbour of one of the teachers gave us a five-minute lecture about kwashiorkor which involved him reciting a list of his favourite words (yes, ‘kwashiorkor’ was one of them). Included the unforgettable phrase, “Diarrhoea, another beautiful word.”

Good morning Bluesky.

this is fantastic and I learned something new

Autumn is upon us and winter won’t be far behind. What’s a great song that has AUTUMN, FALL or WINTER in the title?

Feeling a bit sorry for myself. Tripped & fell this morning & now my hip & bum hurt. Also had a painful bus journey into Manchester just now thanks to rowdy, noisy students. Am consoling myself with a cheese toastie & iced mocha.

My son and I planned a beautiful family trip up that mountain - there's a cable car, wonderful alpine views, a couple of nice restaurants. PLUS you get to see your mum's face when she realises you're going up Mt Wank on the Wankbahn to the Wankhaus.
