I'm so thrilled to have this published! Starting from a chat over lunch at @girtoncollege.bsky.social, James Wade & I chipped away at this & have made some fascinating discoveries.
The actual article should be published later today. In the meantime, more here: www.cam.ac.uk/stories/song...

A reminder with any breaking news, don't speculate and don't share information which isn't 100% verified. Basically, don't stir up shit.

Soubhiye, from Lebanese Arabic, is the enjoyment of a quiet moment of peace before everyone else is awake.
Gökotta is a Swedish term for waking up early to enjoy the birdsong.
For the rest of us, there is hurkle-durkling, from Scots: lingering in bed long after it’s time to get up.

Just so you know - anyone who is going on and on about how they simply have to watch whatever new Harry Potter drivel comes out paid for this to happen. That is your money at work making people's lives harder and more dangerous. Great job.

Happy Trans Day of Visibility! Whether you are out or not, just questioning, or somewhere in-between, you are valid and matter. Gender is a wonderful diverse spectrum and being ourselves makes the world a better brighter place. Support trans people on #TDOV and always. 🏳️⚧️

I almost bought a book on Amazon today, but then I went to eBay and got it slightly used for half the price. Boycotting Amazon is fun AND easy.

Word of the day is ‘forswunk’ (13th century): exhausted by work.
I like to add ‘foreswunk’, exhausted before you even begin.
