Someone has scooped out my brain and replaced it with snot 🤧

The relationship between the Russian lad and Michael foal was just so touching. And that final monologue by the lass who was the flight director. Was definitely some smoke in the room there… 😢

Today’s jazzy Thursday was the last one before my bit of the maths course is done . I chose a red and glitter ombré effect.

Right, I'm going to post something about the draft EHRC guidance, and I'm happy to be corrected, but here goes...

In my knowledge of the queer history of law in the UK, we have not had statutes that prohibit "cross-dressing" in the way they did, say, in many US states. What you did have was...

I’m feeling some confusing feelings after that 😂

Ageing is a cruel mistress 😂. It wasn’t until my mid forties that Brenda (my moustache) showed up!

I was under inspired for this weeks jazzy Thursday so just did some sparkly green base and citrus stickers 🍋‍🟩🍋🍊

Post me from a different era. Aged 23 in 2002 putting the finishing touches to the neutron time-of-flight arrays for my PhD project. So wholesome.

That. Was. Astonishing 😆😱😱😱 #celebritytraitors

Back to teaching this week so back to jazzy Thursday! This weeks effort was firework themed, black base and nail varnish pens for the detail. 🎆🎇

My right hand showing the nails. The nails have a black base and then firework designs with gold, green, pink abc blue starbursts over the top

RIP my Eurofusion mug. It’s my fav mug for my morning cuppa and a hairline crack means it’s no longer viable 😭

Those quoted in that Times article who want what they call a merit-only system would struggle to explain how the pre-DEI domination of white men can be explained by merit alone. Unless they want to say that white men are smarter and better at science than everyone else.

This breaks my heart. It’s a great show and you’re a brilliant journalist and one of the only people that I trust to do interviews with.

That’s the stuff that keeps me in this game 😍

Since next week is consolidation week (so no lectures) I needed to do my spooky Jazzy Thursday nails this week! The base is a charity nail varnish called “the blackest sabbath” where the proceeds go to Cure Parkinson’s. The stickers on top are spooky! Overall a Halloweeny treat. 🦇🕷️🕸️🧛‍♀️

My right hand showing my nails. The base coat of nail varnish is black with holographic microflakies which make it sparkle. The stickers on top are pumpkins, ghosts and spiderwebs

This weeks Jazzy Thursday was an experiment! I did a dusky pink base and then used purple and pink nail varnish pens to get a leopard print effect 🐆🥰

This weeks Jazzy Thursday was a simple but very shiny affair. Just a couple of coats of the prism polish “help me, I’m feeling”. Liquid silver gorgeousness. Lots of the students playing along which is very wholesome 🥰

My right hand showing highly silver nails (micro flakie silver polish). Looks like liquid silver but sparkly.

This whole obsession with "too many people going to uni" is such a classic example of the parochialism of UK policymaking. No one bothers to ask why the % here is lower than in most other developed countries or whether that might be relevant.
