Just cited myself in the Introduction. BTW, women scholars, you should cite yourself because the dudes do it routinely.

#FDAADC25 hoping conference is going generate some heat as the aircon is pretty savage.

Are the trains going past Albert Square real? I know they have their own pretend tube stop but do they also have their own Eastenders train?

Plane tree season in London 😮‍💨😮‍💨

Research request: Researchers from the University of East London are conducting a piece of research to explore transgender men’s experiences of cervical smear testing in the NHS. If you are interested in sharing your story with them in an online interview, please email [email protected]

In Eastenders they’re always eating dismal looking white bread sandwiches. I am concerned that everyone in E20 is very constipated.

Hey @yourewrongabout.bsky.social there’s something weird with your podcast that means it will not play on Apple when my VPN is on. It sometimes happens with @michaelhobbes.bsky.social podcasts too. It’s a minor annoyance as it interferes with my running - it doesn’t happen with other any podcasts…

News: Transport for London bans non-folding e-bikes from next week. Unions had been unhappy following fires. TfL says the issue is mainly cheap dodgy conversion kits rather than purpose-built e-bikes but hard to tell the difference. Folding e-bikes allowed (I'm calling it "The Brompton exemption").

Controversial opinion - I thought Adolescence was meh … first episode was ok… I didn’t find the explanation of the “manosphere” sufficiently detailed or compelling during the rest of the episodes.

For god’s sake why use a portion size that has nothing to do with the contents of the packet weight? And another thing - nobody weighs pasta and rice _after_ they’ve cooked it rrrr

Women in the UK face HRT ‘lottery’, as reluctance to offer menopause treatment through the NHS drives reliance on private clinics. @carolynharris.bsky.social says prescription rates are "still significantly lower" than they should be, despite rising awareness @financialtimes.com - on.ft.com/4bIADwh

I’d seriously ban excessively noisy motorbikes and cars. The sunshine brings them out. Their function is to enable the driver to get pleasure through causing others to suffer … that’s… not ok. If you enjoy doing this, what’s up with you?

As a lawyer who does Equal Pay law it is interesting to note that the prospect of young men falling behind young women is causing a sense of societal crisis that the reverse position consistently failed to invoke.

Supermarkets of the world, for the love of god can you please put the nutritional info for dry ingredients. Who boils the pasta rice or lentils first before measuring out a portion?!

@therestpolitics.bsky.social what’s up with your voices on the Uber ad? They’ve slowed you down so much you sound like completely different people.

I’ve never enjoyed any Bond movie.

Oh my god, the bathtub - awesome #eastenders

Mercifully in tonight’s eastenders opening credits they didn’t make the Thames red…

Woke up early looking forward to a 6am dose of special 40th anniversary eastenders… it’s not on iPlayer 😩😩

Why would you not wash a cup until it is clean??

Where is Dogsky? Why is my feed mainly cats? I even see more rabbits than dogs… how have I failed… someone please make a dog content starter pack

Experiencing the Super Bowl second hand on social media and not having a scooby what anyone is on about…

Congratulations to Luton Airport for having the most absolutely absurd, ridiculous pick up spot for taxis- 10 mins walk outside, under a bridge, across a busy road, round uncrossable barriers. Top notch inconvenience. Just what you need carrying luggage. The only thing missing was pissing rain.

Why is it that newspapers and magazines behave like the shadiest gym in having fee hikes and ridiculous contracts that you can’t get out of? I don’t mind paying for news but why can’t they behave reasonably? When did it become a racket to draw you in and clobber you and make it impossible to escape?

On Friday, a memorandum signed by Marco Rubio called for a 90-day cessation of foreign aid. That would likely put on hold the work of PEPFAR, the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief.

I don’t miss the horribleness of the other place but miss the reach. There was a big fire locally and not much on here about it because people are still on the other place. Wish people & companies would move over too. They see it maybe as a political act, but isn’t staying there a political act now?

An office location of Westfield in Stratford really sucks. I never thought I’d say this of horrible soulless Canary Wharf but it was far better kitted out for office workers. Leave massive shopping malls to those that enjoy them for leisure purposes. I wish I didn’t have to go there all the time.

Do you know a UK-based wheelchair user who works in a lab and would be willing to user-test our prototype of what is believed to be the first-ever lab coat adapted for wheelchair users? Please share far & wide! Interest form: forms.office.com/e/66FhcQjqRT More info: www.ucl.ac.uk/ucl-east/new...

Oh no what is this sports pretender programme 😱☹️

EXCITING NEWS! The annual 'Goths for Breakfast' charity day will be on 15th February. A whole day of Gothic classes, workshops and events to raise money for 'Magic Breakfast' who provide free breakfasts for hungry kids. I need volunteers for one hour sessions - talks or creative workshops!

I asked ChatGPT to brief "Trust Me v. Bro," a nonexistent case I used in response to a claim that items/information publicly released by the media is inadmissible at trial for some reason, and of course GPT was quick with the full cite and (glorious) synopsis: Trust Me v. Bro, 999 U.S. 867 (2024).

@theroyalparks.bsky.social time for my annual plea that you find a different winter solution to switching off every single outdoor tap and drinking fountain in winter. Apart from it very rarely being that cold in London it’s a real difficulty for the many runners and dogs. I know I can queue and buy

Most movies watched a lot in childhood have stars that seem ever younger and younger each time you watch as you grow older. Not Grease though. They still look really old.

Does anyone actually buy a sofa on Boxing Day?

Can anybody answer the ever green question of why routes via Birmingham More St are never recommended by national rail even though they’re clearly much better?

Almost time to watch Die Hard
