I want to be wrong. We’ll see.

    Frequently I see academics describing themselves in their public profiles as &amp;quot;activists&amp;quot;. I&amp;#39;m not sure what they think this means.

    I’m sitting behind Krishnan Gurumurthy at the #GreenParty local election launch. In 2022 we had almost no press. Now we have everyone from Novara media to the Daily Mail.

    @katemorley Indeed, focusing people&amp;#39;s attention on a problem you are exacerbating with your policies is not a winning strategy. It&amp;#39;s incredible how bad they are at this.

    after 20 years, the key for my bike lock has broken off... in the lock. I have a spare, so now going to try to remove the key end with some combination of blu tac, super glue, needle nosed pliers and toothpicks. Hooray.

    Controversial opinion: if you&amp;#39;re a white European man, with a full-time academic job, in a famous institution, winning awards from wealthy organisations, getting an all expenses paid trip to give a conference keynote, then you are ill-equipped to speak about &amp;quot;[discipline] from the margins&amp;quot;. #academicChatter
