Working through survey responses, I've looked at 80 so far which resulted in 500 sounds 😌 It's been lovely to read everyone's entries and the stories behind those sounds that connect you to different places 🌍 The survey is still open and in different languages tinyurl.com/7w3amz83

Overheard on the bus uttered by a teenager: 'Is she visibly 65, or one of the ones who wears it well?' 🫠

Am I eating off a chopping board because... A. Every plate I own is in the dishwasher and I cannot be bothered washing one manually B. I'm being eccentric and trying something different

Revisiting Bad Bunny's Super Bowl Halftime Show for a new writing project. So moving to see such a beautiful celebration of Latin American culture.

About 2 years since the completion of 'Sonic Pasts: acoustical heritage and historical soundscapes'. A great moment to celebrate the many books that inspired my work. In this pile are only books that I own physical copies of, but lots more were consulted + multiple articles and other sources.

Today is Borges' birthday and it is a great source of pride that I got to study in the same Faculty in which he used to teach. I like reminding people of that when they question the level of Latin American universities 😇

I'm about to reply to an email from November...

This is incredibly upsetting, the news has really hit me. The media and Cambridge have so much to respond to www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

Question: what happened to the lemon and poppy seed muffins? When I first moved to the UK they were everywhere, so much so that I told several people that they were a typical/traditional treat in the UK...😅 but I have not seen them for ages. What happened to them?

Returning to a new writing project after 6 months without being able to work on it 🫠

A friend gifted me some wonderful fabric for a dress or something of the sort, but I have no sewing skills - literally none. Does anyone know someone at York who does this sort of work and that you would recommend? It would be a shame not to use it but I can't even sew a button...honestly.

It's a 'bring your own highland cow to Scotland' sort of trip 🐮

Booking a hotel with the university's booking system is quite a process. Most of them are marked with an 'attention' sign meaning either a) this is super dodgy don't book it or b) this is too expensive, who do you think you are?
