I study the anthropology of magic, objects, and people. Moomins. Writing a book about making magical objects in Roman Egypt. I also write fantasy fiction and building a model of the Moomin House. Autistic.

This is such a crime against humanity. Like listening to stuff on the bus out loud.

The Butlerian Jihad should embrace this kind of disruption. Fill the internet with terrible information for the bots to scrape and feed to other bots.

Apparently rats think humans and cats are just very big and very daft rats. They are insanely smart and curious but males especially are often too big for cats to consider taking on as prey.

We had a cat and four rats at one point. When she first encountered them, Rufus was still a baby. He nipped her on the nose and it definitely set the tone. Rafe meanwhile thought she was a big fluffy bed to sleep in.

This June is very weird for weather.

Also I’m not going to make it to today’s reading group I’m afraid. Been a bit of an intense few days and Derrida is just too much!

Yeah that's accurate!

It's warm now here. The rain was hard enough to bring down a tree last night but now it's like wandering around in a bath.

Yes that is absolutely factual and how we all live.

Presumably she doesn’t get 100 emails a day about referencing from students either.
