When asked if he was going to visit the crash site he said, ‘what site? The water? You want me to go swimming?’ This is one of the last pics of the young skaters who died. He’s a sociopath. Anyone who voted for this monster should be ashamed at best.

Ooh, that shingles vaccine is badass. (But since shingles is way worse, I’m grateful for the vax, even if it made me dizzy and feverish for a few days.)

www.penguin.co.uk/articles/202... When I was just starting out as a lecturer, someone told me I reminded them of Robyn Penrose in David Lodge’s Nice Work. Loved the whole trilogy (and sometimes felt like I was living the trilogy too, as a junior academic in Britain in the late 80s).
