Happy Valentine’s Day all! ❤️ What could be more romantic than listening to me dragging Hernán Cortés for filth on #YDTM? I had a great time with Jen Brister & @gregjenner.bsky.social & even got to call William Prescott a dirty old man on the BBC 😂 What a result!

Shabana Mahmood casually saying they're gonna take migrant's jewellery off them has got me thinking about that scene in Schindler's List where the Jewish family wrap family heirlooms in bread and swallow them.

Journalists, why not reach out to some of the fine people in my replies to ask them how the British Library cyberattack of 2023 has had an impact on their research, their creative work, and their careers? This could make for a powerful piece revealing the human side to the damage this has done.
I have been WAITING for a journalist to write this story.
I specialize in manuscripts produced in England between 1300 and 1500. If this had occurred in the midst of writing my dissertation or first book, it would have exploded my career.

I’ve written a piece on the curious lack of media and political interest in the issues faced by our national @britishlibrary.bsky.social. This is strange given we live in a world where ideas, knowledge and research are a long-term source of innovation and insight

We didn't HAVE a Small Boats Problem before the Tory Brexiteers fucked EVERYTHING.

Nothing illustrates the arseholery of the IOC and the British Press more than the use of the image of a not-Trans woman to illustrate a story about trans women being banned (because there are no current trans women competing at this level)

I oppose the right-wing media's obsessive transphobia on principle of course but it's also a dead giveaway (see Matthew Syed's column today) that someone is speaking to a small audience of their peers. It is an all-consuming issue for a powerful minority but not a great concern for most people

Cat’s out of the bag, I guess… no, I do not know how to pose for photos, and yes, it was HOT under the lights, hence my bright red face 😂 Was very lovely to see @carolinepennock.bsky.social and meet Elizabeth Baquedano, among other wonderful people who contributed to the show.
What a treat to see my friend @amyfuller.bsky.social at the launch of the major new BBC Arts documentary series, 'Civilisations: Rise and Fall', which is coming to BBC2 later this month. It's all still thoroughly embargoed, but apparently we're now allowed to officially admit that we're in it!

That Britain has a king, that the king's brother has been involved in serious instances of sexual abuse, that the consequence is for him to be stripped of a handful of abstruse feudal titles and that Britain's elite think this is a fitting punishment, is the mark of a truly fucking weird country.
