I remember Meera Syal saying on a tv chat show about twenty bleeding years ago about the lack of representation of poc on tv particularly in advertising. It’s taken this long to finally see a fair balance so that stupid women and others like her should just shut the fuck up.

I can get behind this movement! And it's time soup got called out for masquerading as a meal. It's just a chewy drink that's too wet to be food.
It's International Coffee Day. A moment to put our caffeine-based differences aside and unite against our common enemy: soup.

I'm feeling very forswunk this week. Slightly concerned as it's only September and there's another 10 months of the academic year to go 🙈
Today I offer a reminder of the word ‘forswunk’ (13th century): exhausted from too much work. To be ‘foreswunk’ (my own version) is to be exhausted before you even begin.
