Even by my usual standards I’ve managed to inadvertently make myself look a right plonker an epic number of times today. Not yet 11am 😂😭🤷‍♂️🤦‍♂️

“Any passengers who still wish to travel on this flight…” Why do airport announcements say this? “I was sat in departures and thought nah mate, now you’ve asked I’ve changed my mind.” Yep, I’ve hit that point of delays where my usual sunny disposition (😂) is looking decidedly overcast 😭😭😭

It’s a bit snowy in Newcastle this morning, and the roads are crazy - do not even attempt to drive anywhere right now if you can avoid it!

Ok deep breath so this term has been one of the best in years. I have some new roles at work that I love and it’s also been a few months of physical change thanks to exercise, a new diet and yes the wonder drug that is Mounjaro. So here I am today in my (baggy) Student Union top from cough 2000

I would have thanked her for her letter, highlighted the good work she’s done, rejected her resignation and released those two sets of letters. I’m completely baffled by what has happened here. A past conviction does not preclude someone going on to do great things.

We go again! Hurrah to discover that The History Man is now on YouTube which means I can share what I think is still the most accurate take on an academic meeting ever filmed 😅😂 (start at 6.03) www.youtube.com/watch?v=8yhw...

Enjoyed seeing the current ‘Pedagogue’ exhibition at The New Street Project yesterday. The video (from 1988) was produced by Northumbria (the Poly back then) arts staff and students critiquing/satirising Section28. Then went on to catch the Polari tour stop off in Newcastle. Great afternoon

Super excited to take up the role of Senior Sponsor in @northumbriauni.bsky.social for LGBTQ+ Equality. There’s been some great work done in this area in recent years but also much to do. Looking forward to working with all of our community in this new role. This will be additional to my DFPVC role.

Hello current and possible friends! I’ve had a go at creating a “starter pack” of queer scholar activist types who I know (so forgive all the omissions). It’s a small and growing list. Let’s build a fab and fun queer scholarly-activist community! 🌈✨ go.bsky.app/Ke4Ctey

Absolutely loved seeing Blue Now this weekend. Really powerful to hear Derek Jarman’s words in this way. Queer. Powerful. Affecting. I’m still processing and reflecting on it all
