fuck #ai. one of my greatest achievements to date is the a+ and note from my sophomore lit teacher in hs saying i really understood the themes of the book on an essay i wrote on a book i did not read. ai could never replicate that feeling

A large caffè latte shoud have more coffee in it, not just more milk and this is a hill I am willing to die on.

Sick and tired of trying to make people understand that UK universities have never had less money to teach students with, in real terms, than they do now.

“We can disagree and still love each other unless your disagreement is rooted in my oppression and denial of my humanity and right to exist” James Baldwin

If I ever get married this is the vibe I demand

Books designed to be read only by human eyes are different from books designed to be read by machines, which is why Google will tell you that the phrase “shake my booty” can be found in an 1863 English translation of Don Quixote.

Watching OFAH and was able to identify a filming location my black cab driver passed-the-Knowledge boyfriend couldn't. He will *never* hear the end of this.

Made the mistake of asking a question and have now ended up on the working group, that'll teach me 😅

Stealing this from @depthsofwikipedia.bsky.social’s insta because it’s not on here and it’s too good to not share. My new hero.

This is Zero. She's the world's first herding dog with a work-from-home gig. 14/10

Fifteen years since the first live EastEnders episode. RIP Bradley Branning you would have loved arguing about the Timeless Child on Gallifrey Base.

She's met @helentamblyn.bsky.social and @jonnymorris.bsky.social then 🤔

Ooh, all of Willy Fog is on Prime

I hope America is as lucky as the delta jet - everyone survives but the right wing explodes

Fucking legend. Making the far right cry. Like he made me cry with his wonderful whiney lyrics when I was an angsty child 🖤💜 Brian Molko forever www.theguardian.com/music/2025/f...

Can't sleep so watching the 1975 adaptation of Ballet Shoes for the first time. Appropriately enougy for today it features a baby Tracey-from-EastEnders (to use her full name).

Home #gally1

Somewhat proud that my sleep and drinking habits are typically so random someone on the group chat didn't even clock I was on GMT-8 for the past week

You know you're on a flight home from #gally1 when...

@dubbayoo.bsky.social thanks to you and Kat for a fab weekend (though I didn't get to see them much). Get home safe and hopefully see you next year!

Farewell for another year, #gally1. You somehow manage to breakdown the cynicism of even this jaded millennial British heart. Now back to glaring at people on the tube...

Went to bed at 5:30, no idea what time zone I'm even living on any more. An extra week of this and I might cycle right back round to GMT again #gally1

The Busy World of Doctor Who

One of the moments I periodically encounter at #gally1 is having to introduce myself as "Erica, not Steven Schapansky's wife" @legopolis.bsky.social

You know you're at a Doctor Who convention when you start getting targeted ads for gay men's holidays #gally1
