28 Frauen tot. Allein in Berlin. Umgebracht von Männern. Keine Debatte über Umgang mit Tätern, kein Notstand, kein Gipfel, keine Talkshows. Gedöns. Unwichtig. Opfer von Gewalttaten spielen nur eine Rolle, wenn die Täter nicht deutsch sind. Wer schützt uns vor Deutschen?

In einem mit offenen Grenzen, ehrlich gesagt.

So this is how EU freedom of movement comes to an end? Not with a bang, but with a whimpering concession by German social democrats to the far-right AfD?

Pulp People would be great to have right now if it’s true there’s a new album on the way. Gig goers writing in, little updates on what’s happening here and there, free bookmarks, free coasters and stuff. I wonder how Alex is doing these days?

Well, this is nice.... #lindisfarne2024

What's happening in Gaza is totally unacceptable. A school turned shelter for around 12,000 people was hit by Israeli airstrikes again today. Six of our UNRWA colleagues are among those killed. These dramatic violations of international humanitarian law need to stop now.

Liam fucking Livingstone. Amazing.

PhD application season is among us 😵‍💫 If there are any marginalised scholars who would like to chat about any aspect of the application process for Classics and/or History in the UK my DMs are always open! 💓

Exciting news! We're advertising for a fully funded doctoral studentship at the University of Oxford and The National Archives to work on Chaucer's thameside life and poetry. Supervised by me and Prof Marion Turner. Details below, please share widely! oocdtp.web.ox.ac.uk/ox-cda-turner-…

And day after day one side or the other - and let's face it, for almost a year it's only been one side - creates a new, utterly committed, absolutely intransigent lifelong enemy. You can boast of military intelligence all you want. But morality aside, this is profoundly stupid.

„ah okay und die Kinder werden auch behandelt? Obwohl die gar nicht Vollzeit arbeiten?“

Great to see that this short piece ('The Critical Study of Masculinities in Old English Literature'), co-written with Caz Batten, has now been published in English Studies. It's the intro to a special issue on OE masculinities that should appear v soon tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…
