Music. Running. Dog walking. Vegetables.
Today a PhD student passed their viva (hooray!).
It turned out neither they nor the examiners knew the thing about the snake.
Is the snake Very Online?
Does everyone not know of the snake?

I have quite a lot of questions about ghosts. 👻
I’ve decided to make them into a thread in case anyone who knows about ghosts can provide some information.
Thanks in advance.

Really need new publicity photos! The ones I keep using are 12 years old.
So I also need someone to take the photos and ideally do this without my knowledge or I’ll look weird.
If anyone has come up with the answer to this dilemma please let me know.

Horrific, stupid news from @uniofnottingham.bsky.social — they are closing their music department. Apparently they all found out suddently in a meeting yesterday.

The news about Nottingham Music is awful. I hope the means to resist this can be found. I feel like every day in HE we’re dealing with some decision or other that is part of this whole picture. What will be left when everything is cut? It’s impossible.

It’s the time of year where for weeks on end I get to spend my evening calming down the dog who is beside himself at every loud bang.
Yes, we have every single ****ing thing marketed to calm down dogs.
The thing that would work is banning fireworks.
There’s no argument in their favour.

Since allowing the dog to sleep in the bedroom I’ve discovered that the reason he spends his whole day sleeping in different dog beds is that he definitely doesn’t spend the night sleeping.
And now he goes in the bedroom at night it’s going to be work to make him go back in his dog bedroom.

No. What he would do was this. He would put on the record of bagpipe music. He would listen to it, every last banshee wail of it.

Manchester half marathon this morning. I lost 6 weeks of training due to a hamstring injury and spend last week feeling ill and run down - I wasn’t confident in my goal of Having A Nice Time. Nevertheless I had a lovely run at a better pace than predicted so I am happy.

Calling English a 'rip-off degree' is one of the most blatant exhibitions of personal barbarism I've ever seen. You've demonstrated nothing but the poverty of your own mind.

I’ve received an AI-written email response. I suspect this because it mostly repeats the email that I wrote first back to me. Even worse, no reply was needed or if the person wanted to they could have just written “thanks.” This is how the robots get us: by wasting our time until we die.
